About This Event

This event will be bookable on Monday 3 August 2026. Create a fun mosaic cactus in this relaxed half-day workshop. In this workshop designed for beginners, tutor Nikki will guide you through step-by-step how to design and create a fabulous cactus using mosaic tiles and petals. You will be able to build up your design, and learn how to use tile adhesive to attach the mosaic. You’ll take home a finished decorative piece that would look beautiful hanging up in your home, or make a unique gift. About the tutor: Tutor Nikki McCathie is an experienced arts practitioner who has been delivering creative workshops for over 10 years across the county. Nikki loves breaking down workshops into simple manageable steps to introduce beginners to new skills, materials and techniques. Further information: All materials and equipment will be provided. Please come in old clothes and/or bring an apron as crafting can get messy! We do have aprons to borrow if you prefer. Participants must be aged 18+.
