Recycling is intrinsic to Picassiette ‘tolen from Plate’, as the broken pieces can no longer be used but are repurposed to make something new and interesting. This philosophy is at the heart of my practice as I am always looking for ways to make art and crafts sustainable while retaining creativity and beauty.

Through this creative mosaic activity, you will develop ideas and artistic inspiration, and you will learn new skills and theories around the subject. You will explore how patterns, shape, and the use of a variety of materials influence your design

Practical tips will be given to boost and improve well-being and develop your creative confidence. You will be provided with an environment where you can flourish and your ideas can be realised. Or I have templates too: cat, beetle, bee, or flowers.

You will take your treasure home to keep forever.
