Mosaic Classes Term Two & Upcoming Classes

Mosaic Classes Term Two & Upcoming Classes

WOW – such great results from the term two adult mosaic classes!

This term we created a garden paver using a mixture of tesserae including glass tiles, glass shards, ceramic shards and beads. We made the pavers using the direct method, using outdoor grout so that the paver will last forever as the prided focus of the garden bed!

Students had a great array of ideas for their design which we drew on paper and coloured as a basic guide for laying out our tesserae. We then glued the tesserae to fibreglass mesh and, when dry, grouted the layout onto the paver.

The next round of mosaic classes will be offered in mid August and I am planning a three dimensional project, so stay tuned!

Mosaic Classes in Ballarat – adults and children

Mosaics classes are starting at the NEW studio from the 15th November for both adults and children … and this is no ordinary mosaics class.

Students will model their own centrepiece for the mosaic wall hanging from clay which will be glazed and fired, and then students will build a mosaic composition around that centrepiece from ceramic shards.

This project will be completed in a four week block, and all the details are available on the MOSAICS page or ENROL online via the SHOP.

If you have any further enquiries call me on 0438382522

ClayMotion Pottery in Ballarat

But the BIG news is that ClayMotion is relocating – we are moving into Central Ballarat – 34a Mair street to be exact …. which we are very excited about. We love that we will now be more central to the Ballarat community – drive, catch a bus, walk, or ride your bike!

As part of the move we will also be able to offer more services including more class choices, such as mosaics; casual studio space hire; exhibition space; locally made giftware; and a wider range of pottery and art supplies; plus continuing our existing services of birthday parties; firing service; mums and bubs; teambuilding and professional development.

Before moving into the new premise we have had to repaint, remove carpet and build work benches…. followed by moving in all the tools and equipment – a huge job! The first week of classes are being held in the Dunnstown studio, but we plan to be operating in Mair street for week two of classes, and we are well on schedule to do so!

And our first new class for the premise we are offering MOSAICS – this class is a unique blend between pottery and mosaics because students will create a sculpted centrepiece for their piece and build a mosaic around it using ceramic shards – click HERE for more info.
