February 26th : Mirror Mosaics with Deborah Jenkin
I was born and raised in Altona and have lived here for most of my life.
I became interested in all things art from very early age although mostly with drawing and sketching. I became interested in mirror mosaics in 2009 after finding an old mirror and old round coffee table top.
I knew exactly what I wanted to make immediately and with some research I began to create my first piece for our garden which still hangs with pride above our rock fountain.
Since that firsf piece I became totally addicted and just couldn't stop.
I would welcome the opportunity to come along and demonstrate my methods on how to handle and cut mirror into shapes including gluing techniques, grouting and those finishing touches that makes this art form such a shining joy to create.
