Extraordinary Beasties - Community Mosaic Workshop 2 - with Joy Parker - Art'N About in Gala

A fantastic opportunity to learn the ancient art of mosaic making with local artist Joy Parker.

During the first of two workshops, participants will be designing and creating small mosaics that will be displayed around Galashiels in various overlooked, damaged or derelict spaces.

The idea is to brighten these spots with something curious, fun and surprising!  Come along to enjoy yourself, learn a skill and contribute towards improving the town centre.

The ordinary beasties we might overlook or sometimes find annoying, play an important role in biodiversity the balance of  the ecosytems  in our area and beyond.  They soon become extraordinary if you look closer and find out a little about them.  We plan to celebrate the little beasts which are all around and must be cared for because their existence is intertwined with our own.

We will be using a mix of new and recycled materials for the mosaics…
