Kulina Folk Art Creative Workshops
Mosaics - Book a Workshop at Your Venue Today
Creating mosaics is not just a “feel good” activity. The process of selecting and connecting the elements of size, color, texture and shape, has helps with problem-solving skills, critical thinking and patience – ever negotiating for a work of art the best possible execution and outcome for function or decor. Mosaics is a very forgiving art where imperfections can be embraced to add interest and variety, and highlight other parts of the work.
Travel Fee: Mileage discounts are available for multiple workshops in the same area. If we can book you on the same day with another venue, within 15 miles from your venue, we will split the fee between the two venues.
