Local mosaic artist Rachel visited Home Tree School with her trolley on toe.

She worked with our students to design and put together a mosaic board.

Our students had to first sketch out what they were going to have on their boards. They could choose from examples that Rachel had brought in or create their own ideas.

Once this was done, they collected the tiles which were all sorted out in their own containers depending on colour.

The students were advised to lay out the tiles on to the board before gluing to give them the flexibility of adjusting their design ideas and also the tiles chosen. Once they were happy, they had to stick the tiles down using PVA glue.

The students who participated engaged well and produced some great pieces of art work and took up this opportunity offered to them.

Rachel took away the finished mosaics with her and returned them grouted and ready to display!
