This is a two-day class.
Creating mosaics is a two-step process.

Day One:
The first day, we are creating a design.
Learn about the different cements, shards, and found objects that can be used in mosaic.
Then complete a design which will be 20 cm square.
It can be used as a wall hanging, kitchen trivet, or garden decoration.
Practice how to use the cutters, and to apply the cement. The adhesive used on the first day takes 24 hours to dry. If the piece isn’t complete in the time allotted, more time can be scheduled.

Day Two:
Second day, we are grouting our finished piece.
The adhesive needs to set completely before the piece can be grouted.
Overnight is usually sufficient, that’s why 2 days are scheduled

Grouting: We will learn all about different kinds of grout, and how to make different colours, and use the tools that are needed to give your mosaic a polished look.

Start time for each day is 9:30 am.
Bring something for your lunch, tea and coffee will be provided.
Day One finishes around 2 or 3 pm, depending on the completion of your piece.
Day two takes about 2 hours.

My workshop is not large, so I am offering classes for only two to three women at a time,
which gives the student a very personalised learning experience.

All materials will be supplied.

3 dates are happening for this:
* October 13-14th, October 23rd-24th, December 1st-2nd

A few weeks ago, the Neighbourly team shared a round of complaints over our morning cuppa about the challenges of juggling runny noses and work commitments.

After reading Flip Grater's opinion piece, Playing germ roulette with our kids’ health, we felt a collective sense of relief - another parent shares our niggling worries.

We wanted to check in with our online neighbours: do you feel the same way? We are all busy, and keeping children home from school is sometimes impossible given other responsibilities. Busy lives and the apparent loss of collective energy around monitoring cold symptoms have led to more students and staff in shared spaces with sniffles and coughs.
But what do you think? Is this a concern?

We want to know: Are there clear Guidelines on when to keep kids off of school?
Should we be having a nuanced conversation about risk management, and how to better support working families?
Share your opinion with us below!
