Mosaic Club Fun

Got to be a short one today, off to Lime Walk House to grout their mosaic:

But in the meantime, I need to recover from mosaic club this morning. My sides hurt with laughing! 

It never ceases to amaze me, the range of topics discussed around the table; interesting, scary, deep, funny. What I did notice, was that when someone is in the 'mosaic zone' they will miss most of a conversation but just one word will bring them back to real time. This can have either a mildly confusing or hysterical effect! Needless to say, it was the latter of the two today. Though I hold back divulging details about the well known, high street, adult only store which brought forth much merriment!


As I am thinking of bringing a dog into the family, various ideas as to the breed came up.  Once everyone was settled with everything they needed and their chosen brew, we did a bit of 'googling' but I'll blog that separately.

This took us to the www to research images and I was very happy to show one of my ladies how to use dropbox as she expressed a desire to further delve into the artistic creation of 'grotesque birds'. We were laughing too much to consider reprimanding Kevin when he said he was used to the company of grotesque birds on a Wednesday morning! 

I love the diversity of designs produced during Wednesday morning workshops: house numbers, dogs, dragons, hedgehogs, foxes, Italian City scenes and Toucans (Guinness!)

Waterside Creativity Abound!

Hello!

I am so sorry I have not blogged for such a long time!  I have been SOOOOO busy with the move and lots of workshops.

The mosaic mirror workshops are going really well and so are my new Jewellery making workshops.  Of course, it helps that the location of the studio overlooks the canal and we are next to a lovely cafe.

Just this morning I spent 20 minutes at the Bollington Arts Centre, collecting fir cones off the drive. Sigh - what bliss!

There is such a hive of activity here at the Clarence Mill.  IT is taking shape and the shop will be open VERY soon.

In the meantime, here are some photos from recent workshops:


Can you believe it is 4 weeks since the BAMM Northern Lights group met up!  I did a Mod Roc workshop which we all loved but it was a little bit of a rush getting the room ready -I'd only moved into the studio the day before!



And the mosaic taster workshops begin...









My new mosaic pendants - workshops on Sunday mornings.













Katie made about 6 Christmas presents



And then our Tuesday evening Art class.  IT was such bliss to walk outside the studio and collect beautiful plants to work from.



Everyone has said how lovely the spot is and I have to agree.  I could not think of a lovelier place to just 'be'.
