Important Workshop Information

This is a practical, skills-focused workshop, not a mosaic-making class.

Rather than creating a finished mosaic, you’ll spend your time learning and practicing a variety of glass cutting techniques.

The aim is for you to leave with new skills, greater confidence and the knowledge to take your future mosaic projects to another level!

You’ll receive a printed Glass Cutting 101 booklet filled with guides and tips to continue practicing at home.
