Eve Kennedy teaches the skills of using colour to describe and enhance moods, emotions, settings and seasons in our work. This course explains how we perceive colour and  the powerful messages that colour communicates. Investigating how to use colour results in richer visual impressions in our work.

For an artist this course is like a fish learning to swim or a bird learning to fly!

Mosaic is the art of creating stunning works of art with an assemblage of small pieces of broken crockery, colored glass, stone, tiles or other material on a base of your choosing.

Learn the basics of cutting, glueing & grouting as you create a beautiful mosaic garden pot using recycled tiles, broken vases, old crockery, glass and/or mirror. As a starter piece for beginners you are asked to bring a 25 -30cm terracotta garden pot to mosaic. This will add colour to your garden. Once the beginner pot is finished we can move on to a base of your choosing for the second project.

Tess has been playing with mosaics and teaching classes for over twenty years. Workshops will be held at her private studio in Armidale.
