Mosaic Cactus Workshop

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.
