What you'll do
Searching for fun things to do in Brisbane? Get crafty and learn how to make a mosaic planter in this hands-on workshop with Alyson McGrath.
In this three-hour class, you will learn the techniques of this ancient craft. You will learn and practice cutting tiles/glass as well as various techniques for laying the tiles (tesserae). Using a planter as your template you will be guided to create your own piece of mosaic art. While we won’t have quite enough time to grout the piece you will be given easy to follow instructions to complete it at home.
The class is suitable for beginners. If you don’t finish the piece during the class you will have the skills to so confidently in your own home. Learn how to mosaic and you will undertake a form of therapy. We guarantee once you start mosaicking you may not stop!
Please note: This class requires at least five students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class.

I found my passion for mosaic art over 15 years ago. I was gifted a mosaic kit and I literally spent the next week immersed in pieces of glass and old pieces of tile. I have always been a bit arty and creative. Through discovering and exploring mosaics, I felt I had come home to myself – such is the power of creativity.
Working with objects (lost and found) adds another dimension to the beauty of mosaic art. I lose myself in taking someone’s old item and creating a treasure. I love looking at an object (piece of wood, old hat, old boot) and seeing it live once more – as ART!
I love the tactile element of mosaics – to me, it is about touch and colour. I am not one who always creates flat mosaics although I do appreciate the skill involved in such works of art. I want my mosaics to be handled as a way of connecting and engaging with the art.
I have completed private commissions and look forward to holding more workshops.

A great intro and I reckon I could be hooked. It was well paced, with an excellent fun teacher. I'm really glad I took this workshop!
Inga Johnston • Sep 2021
After smashing the tiles, the room went quiet. Everyone was too busy sticking tiles on their pots. Great introduction to mosaics.

I attended this class on my own and had a really nice time.
The instructor was very knowledgable, approachable, and helpful. She has an excellent teaching manner.
We made a mosaic pot and we had everything we needed and received advice and guidance to make something really cool.

Loved this class. Alyson gave me lots of info and instructions to inspire me. Great beginners class and a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
Josephine Hamanne • Mar 2021
Allison was very welcoming, knowledgeable, approachable and enthusiastic. She gave tips and advice throughout the class and hints for home projects. With a take home leaflet.
The mosaic pot was a great first time project and it has given me the confidence to attempt other projects at home for the future.
I very much enjoyed this class, it was always something I wanted to try but never had the confidence or know how to start.
Gemma James • Mar 2021
This was a fun class for a beginner-knowledgeable teacher and great introduction to mosaic crafting
Rosemary Whimp • Mar 2021
I had been wanting to do a mosaic class for a while-to spice up some pots in my garden. Learning the techniques was fun and easily accessible. Our teacher was clear and supplied all the materials needed.
Jen Frost • Mar 2021

Great class with Alyson. As my first taste of Mosiacs it was informative . With the take home information it means I can confidently go about trying again myself at home

The mosaic workshop was a very fun evening. A good variety of materials were provided and the instructor was helpful and informative.
Karina Mora • Feb 2020
I absolutely loved the class and doing mosaic. The teacher was great and very friendly and patient. Only thing I think it could have been one hour longer and paid a bit more. Would have been cool to be able to finish up. Thank for an awesome night.
Narelle Houston • Feb 2020
Alyson was a great communicator with a structured approach to teaching, and the ability to adapt to each student’s needs. A great intro to mosaics. Plenty of room to work, materials and equipment. Convenient venue.
Linda Worrall • Feb 2020
I liked the class but there were not enough tile cutters for everyone.
Yes, and it was very hot.
