Mosaic Courses in North London
Debra Collis runs weekly Thursday morning classes (drop-in) in the Education Room, Kingsgate Workshop Trust Studios, in West Hampstead, North London, and a two-session Beginners workshop once a month on weekends. She is planning to start a Sunday drop in session too for adults who work in the week.
The workshops provide an environment where you get a solid understanding of the technical, and traditional aspects of mosaic making, alongside a more innovative and creative approach. This allows for participants to get practice in making pieces in both the direct and indirect methods and on-going support in developing their work as a form of self expression. The Beginners Intensive Course gives participants an opportunity to understand what a ‘mosaic’ is all about, with simple structured exercises to start, and handouts at the end of the lesson.

The Mosaic Workshop sells a large range of mosaic materials and equipment so you can make your own tiles and decorative Roman inspired floors. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, they have all the tools you need from glass and ceramic tiles to templates as well as cutting implements and adhesives. For beginners, there are starter packs and 'how to' factsheets which tell you everything you need to know to make your first moasic. Some of the staff - most of whom are working mosaic artists - also display their finished work which is available to buy. In addition to this central Holborn shop they have an outlet further out of London in West Norwood (Harry Day Mews, 1 Chestnut Rd, SE27 9EZ) where you can enrol on workshops and courses. // Tel: 020 7831 0889
