Mosaic Art classes launched to allow ‘magic’ to unfold
A passion for mosaic art has seen a local resident launch a series of classes to share the craft with others.
Anne Egan of Everything Mosaic has been practising mosaics for the past 15 years and in that time she has filled her garden with wonderful pieces of art.
Anne moved to the beautiful Awhitu Peninsula in 2006 with her husband Dave, after many years living and working in Auckland and overseas. Anne’s work can be found at the Pollok Co-operative Gallery on the Awhitu Peninsula and at Yard Art in Paerata.
She was an award winning artist in the 2013 Franklin Arts Festival.
When she left teaching to explore other career options the one thing she dearly missed was the creativity and excitement of teaching.
So Anne decided she wanted to combine her love of mosaic with her passion for teaching and her mosaic classes were born.
Regular one day classes (9.30 – 4.30) are held in Waiuku and in the Auckland region.
The classes are suitable for beginners and for people aged 5 to almost anything,” Anne says.
Students are shown the basics of design, materials, and techniques and go home with the confidence to continue their creative journey.
“I have yet to meet someone who has not created something of beauty in my classes. I would love to take full credit for this, but really what I do is nurture the personality, provide the support and step back and watch the magic unfold.”
