Project - mosaic trivet-the gOzUnda!
So much info is packed into making the trivet.  This little trivet has been the starting point for so many students. The trivet may be small, but the knowledge and experience you take away with you is worth it's weight in gold!

Over Workshop A and Workshop B we cover a lot of info! You will not be disappointed.
The project design and pattern is pre-determined so we can get in and make a mosaic. 
You will need to attend Workshop B if you wish to experience china and 3-D cutting and techniques.

What will you make in Workshop A?

• mosaic trivet, fully grouted - direct mosaic mesh method - the A-Z  of mosaics! 
• prepare & make a mosaic on mesh - you will complete the process to install the mesh mosaic, completely grouted!
• Time permitting, you will add a few pieces to a mesh Koala mosaic in the making, as part of a community art project for MANA. 

You will take home from Workshop A a fully-grouted trivet.
- You may apply final grout sealer to the trivet in Workshop B if you bring it to Workshop B.
- If you don't attend Workshop B you may purchase a bottle of grout sealer to take home. ($10 per bottle).
