A simple, step-by-step process

1: Prepare your mountain

You’ll be shown techniques for breaking and shaping a piece of slate to feature as the mountain in your mosaic. You can use a single piece of slate or combine several pieces together to form a mountain range.

2: Decide on the foreground

You’ll learn how to create a wildflower meadow as well as a mountain lake with a shoreline. You can choose which you want to make, and can even add in features of your own. Whichever option you go for, you’ll be shown various ways to combine and set your materials to create gorgeous textured surfaces.

3: Create the sky

You’ll discover a number of options for creating the sky in your mosaic. Will you create a warm sunset/sunrise, or opt for a calming night sky?

Different material options

The main material used in this course is slate. You’ll learn where to source it from, how to prepare it and different ways to use it. However, slate looks great when combined with other materials so you’ll learn about adding options like glass and porcelain tile to your mosaic.

The emphasis is on using materials you like and have access to, rather than using exactly the same materials as the ones in the practical demonstrations. The course covers options for using a number of alternatives so even if you can’t find one particular material, you can still complete your project by using something else.
