Mosaic Courses WTB It would be really useful if you could bring with you two, or ideally three design ideas for your mosaic. Try to make your ideas different from each other, so that we will be able to discuss the various mosaic possibilities, which your designs will suggest to me. Your designs should be between a square foot: 12" x 12" (30 cm x 30 cm), in area up to a maximum of A3: 12" x 16" (30 cm x 40 cm) - if you want to finish your mosaic during the course. Keep your designs simple and bold – remember that the tesserae average 1 cm x 1 cm in size so don't make your design too fiddly! A quick glance at any of my books will show you what I mean, but please don't copy my mosaics – you could do that at home! If you don't have time to prepare any designs before the course, then try and bring some sort of pictorial reference with you. This could be anything from a book to a greetings card that you like or even a piece of wrapping paper or packaging that may have caught your eye. I have a really good reference library here, but as you can gather, I am trying to save you valuable time on the first day. Your own tweezers are a good thing to have. I will provide some but if you don't want to share please bring your own. A camera is always a useful thing to bring. Bring walking boots if you intend to go for long walks on the beach especially out of season. Binoculars are a great thing to have with you if you are a 'twitcher' like me! We have a huge variety of sea birds here including guillemots, oystercatchers, sanderlings, turnstones, fulmars and many varieties of sea gulls! I look forward to seeing you. Please don't hesitate to call me. See Martin’s latest work on his website: |
