We run a professional mosaic school in London called the London School of Mosaic, and we have put our expertise into an online short course showing you how to create beautiful mosaics. This is an introductory course and with our experience we are hoping to teach hobbyists and artisans alike a new skill. We will take you through the whole process step by step and regardless of your experience, by the end of this course, you will have the fundamentals of the indirect method of mosaic, as well as two beautiful pieces to show your friends and family.

Over this course we will take you through how to produce mosaics using the indirect method. We will teach you by making two mosaics of different designs along with you, and describing the steps as we go.

We will also let you know where to find the necessary materials needed to make a mosaic, how to draw designs, show you contemporary mosaicists making beautiful work right now, a selection of professional finishes for your mosaic and hopefully you will enjoy yourself along the way.
