Special course available
In addition to giving a talk at the British Mosaic Forum Saad Mikhaiel will present courses in the UK so you have a rare opportunity to learn from him.
A master of Micro Mosaics, Saad Romany Mikhaiel from Cairo and Scarborough mosaic artist Gisela Gibbon will be running two mosaic design courses in October, a 1-day Course in Colchester, Oct 24th, and a 2-day Course in Stoke-on -Trent.
This course will teach you the principles of turning any image, be it a portrait, landscape, human body, any other 3 dimensional object you can think of into a mosaic with depth. It will give you the understanding how to achieve perspective, features, depth and the subtleties of light and shade in your work. This is a truly unique course, a rare chance to meet Saad during his short time in the UK and to learn from such an incredible master mosaicist and a modern day artistic genius. All you need to bring is an A4 or A3 drawing pad and pens including pencil, felts and marker pen, we will provide the rest.
Please note, you will NOT produce a mosaic in such a short time, but there will be practical work and you will have practical reminders of the principles involved to take home and introduce into your style of working.
The one day Course in Colchester is £120, the 2-day Course in Stoke-on-Trent is £200, places are filling up fast and are only secured by a 50% deposit, on a first come first serve basis, payable by cheque or paypal, deadline Oct 10th 2010.
