A wonderful opportunity to develop knowledge and techniques in this beautiful decorative art form, with professional mosaic artist Stephanie Roberts. Stephanie is based in Wales and will be in residence for a week here at Barnoon Workshop. Stephanie has many years of experience making mosaics with involvement in both national and international mosaic commissions and public instillations. She has experience teaching classes and in community groups too. Her work focuses on a landscape of colour, form and movement.
