Christmas Mosaic Decorations

Date: Saturday, December 16, 2023
Time: 10am - 4pm
Venue: The Courthouse
All materials are provided.

Create a bespoke vintage china and glass Christmas Mosaic Decoration choosing from a wide range of cut-out bases.  

Select from treasured china, some over 100 years old, a truly original experience of creating your own unique mosaic Christmas decoration. If you would like to incorporate some of your own treasures bring them along.  

Full instruction and guidance provided including: colour combining, tile cutting, tile layout and grouting. 

The workshop will be run by artist Sue Kershaw, whose designs feature sometimes thousands of intricate, hand-cut pieces known as tesserae. These pieces range from teacup shards made from Ganges clay that were collected in India, to seashore glass from Sicily. Gold leaf, aicis glass and French porcelain are also present throughout her work.

Sue facilitates workshops and community art projects across the UK, and works to commission from her studio based in Ryedale, North Yorkshire. Her commissions include a hospital mosaic fountain for NHS Hull, and a ‘Hope’ wall mosaic for Trafford Macmillans Care Centre. Sue’s work combines a love of nature and literature with geometrics:

I am passionately driven to achieve a harmonious balance between creating a strong initial design with the physical creation and arrangement of tesserae that flow throughout the work.’
