Join this fun workshop in Canberra and learn how to create a quirky little piece for your home. Bring some friends, or just come along and learn something new!
In this class, you will be using stained glass and embellishments to create your masterpiece on a piece of slate, without the need for grouting.
This class offers a tranquil space for you to slow down and unleash your inner artist. Even if you're a complete beginner, your teacher can guide and help you with your design. They will provide a selection of slate pieces pre-drilled with hanging holes for you to choose from. Hanging material will be attached at the end of the day.
By the end of the class, you can take home a completed piece, ready to display proudly in your living space!
All course participants will receive a 10% Discount Voucher to use in my store on their first shop (some exclusions apply).
There’s a maximum of 8 people in each class. A minimum of 3 students is required for this class to proceed.

Merlin Mosaica is a mosaic retail store selling all things for glass mosaic across Australia (and internationally). It is the creative outlet for Ali Howson, who will be your teacher and guide in these workshops.
I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. As a painter I have exhibited in Melbourne, and regional NSW.
My key driver is a love and understanding of colour & texture.
I have collected glass for many years and have visited glass factories in Venice.
I made my first mosaic in 2005.  My material of choice is stained glass.
After many years in IT, I decided to engage in my passion for colour and glass, and want to share my love of this medium with others
