roman inspired mosaic

Taylor McLeod
Students were inspired by the style and colours of Roman mosaics. They learnt about Vermiculatum and Tessellatum and used unglazed ceramic tile for a matt effect. 

garden domes

Picture
Taylor McLeod
Students designed their mosaic to work around cement domes. Then applied the tesserae directly with cement based adhesive. These look fabulous in the garden.

Johan Cronholm
Students learnt to work in the indirect method on sticky plastic - working upside down and back to front before setting the mosaic into their bowl and mosaicing the sides directly.

exhibition entries

Emma Price
Students are encouraged to enter exhibitions. Exhibition work is always made with the students own choice of subject matter/theme.

mosaic clocks

Emma Flack
Students created a custom shape for their clock which was cut out then mosaiced with vitreous glass. Clock mechanisms were fitted to create a working clock.

Please note: Students will be cutting glass/stone and using other potentially hazardous materials such as cement based products and adhesives. Small cuts to the fingers and hands are common. Safety instructions of the teacher must be followed at all times, safety glasses must be kept on and sturdy closed shoes must be worn. Failure to abide by safe working practices will result in the child no longer being able to participate in the class.
