Coffee, Cake, ‘n’ Craft – Slate Mosaic Garden Panel in New Romney, Kent
Description
Discover the beauty of natural materials and creative expression in this hands-on slate mosaic workshop, part of the welcoming Coffee, Cake, ‘n’ Craft series at Teach Me Courses. Over the course of three relaxing hours, you’ll design and craft your own mosaic garden panel using slate, ceramic tiles, and decorative elements – all while enjoying endless coffee and a generous helping of homemade cake. In this calming and creative session, you'll be guided by a friendly tutor who will support you through each stage of the process – from developing your layout and shaping your materials to fixing the pieces in place and preparing your finished panel for display. Whether you prefer a structured geometric look or a free-flowing abstract design, the workshop offers the flexibility to follow your own ideas at a comfortable pace. With inspiration drawn from the natural colours and textures of the local landscape – including coastal tones and motifs from Romney Marsh – you’ll have plenty of visual prompts to help spark your creativity. This open-format workshop welcomes all levels of experience, from absolute beginners to those wanting to build on previous mosaic work, and provides a relaxed, sociable space to explore a satisfying tactile craft. It’s the perfect way to slow down at the end of the week, meet new people, and spend an afternoon immersed in colour, texture, and thoughtful making – with plenty of tea-break conversation and cake along the way.
