Introductory hands-on mosaic workshop using the direct method, led by resident artist Leigh-Anna Barber Corbett, for adults with no prior experience.
Montague Gallery is hosting a beginner's mosaic workshop on Saturday 7 November, from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. It's led by the gallery's resident artist, Leigh-Anna Barber Corbett, and it's a hands-on introduction to the direct method of mosaic-making. The session is kept small, with no more than ten people, so you'll get plenty of one-to-one guidance rather than just watching from the back.
The direct method is exactly what it sounds like: you place your tiles directly onto the base, one by one, until the image is complete. By the end of the two hours, you'll have a small piece of your own to take home—something like a coaster or a small wall tile—along with a basic understanding of the technique so you can keep going with it at home. All the materials and tools are provided, and there's a short break for tea and biscuits halfway through.
Montague Gallery runs a regular programme of creative workshops throughout the week and on weekends, all led by local artists and craftspersons. None of them require any prior experience or skills, so you don't need to have ever touched a tile before to join in. The studio spaces above the gallery are described as light and airy, which is a nice place to spend a Saturday morning.
