Turn any surface into a beautiful mosaic using traditional and non-traditional materials. Bring along those sea shells, stones, sea glass, extra scrabble tiles, and broken plates and we'll provide the materials to turn a clay pot or stepping stone into a masterpiece. This workshop will allow you time to design your piece, complete the tiling process, and learn the finishing touches of grouting and polishing. Class will be held at Seamark. For both adults and children. Bring a bag lunch to class on Saturday.
