Can I take my piece home with me at the end of the course?

This depends on the method you use to set/install the mosaic. Please discuss this with the teacher during the class

What if I have to miss a class?

If you have to miss a session on a multi-week course you should speak to the tutor first to arrange for you to make up the time missed. Depending on availability of spaces/tutors we try to accommodate you.

What if I haven't finished my mosaic at the end of the class?

If you do not manage to complete your mosaic during the duration of the class or course, there are options for you to book/pay for extra studio or tutor time. Please discuss this directly with your tutor.

Extra material charges

If you work with Smalti and Marble exclusively, and at a size larger than 20x20cm an extra charge may apply and the teacher will make you aware of this at the start of your project. The charge depends on the type of material e.g. whether it is recycled or not and the colour range.
