  £50 (£400 per class surcharge applies for private classes) (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

If you're looking for fun things to do in Margate that'll also fire up your creative side, come along to this workshop and enjoy an introduction to the art of mosaic with Amy Exton. This is a great introductory session if you’re keen to learn the basics of mosaic, but also good fun for anyone who likes to try their hand at new crafts.
During this three-hour session, Amy will walk you through the process of making your very own mosaic tile using the direct method. You'll learn how to apply your design to your substrate, use mosaic nippers to cut and shape your tiles, and how to lay your tesserae. Amy will provide a selection of design templates for you to pick from, or you can design something from scratch, and there will be a colourful selection of glass and ceramic tiles to play with.
You'll leave the class feeling creatively fulfilled, with your mosaic tile in hand and plenty of new mosaic making skills under your belt – who knows? This might just become your new hobby!
What you'll get
You'll make your own 10cm mosaic tile, which can be used as a coaster or mini artwork.

After graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2012 with a BA in fine art, I built a successful career in set and interior design before deciding to retrain. I wanted to break away from the fast-paced and wasteful production industry, and master a traditional craft where I could use my hands to make something beautiful.
I landed on mosaic, as it's a craft which ties into my interior design practice, and I fell in love with the process instantly. The beauty of mosaic is that there really are no shortcuts, making it slow-paced and mindful, and you can also see the hand of the maker in each tile, making each creation truly unique.
I've since been classically trained at the London School of Mosaic, where I was taught the traditional Roman, Byzantine and neo-classical methods of working, as well as an in-depth history of the craft. I now work on custom mosaic commissions in my cosy Margate studio (with my dog Presley sleeping beside me) and my work borrows from the rich history of the ornamental arts while integrating my contemporary signature style.
I began running mosaic workshops last year locally in Margate, keen to share what I'd learn with everyone. The workshops proved really popular, and I've since been invited to host corporate team-bonding workshops - including regular events for an international bank based in Canary Wharf - as well as for private parties and events.
