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.
