· Are you fascinated by the exciting shapes that can be made with mosaic?
AND
· Do you want to try your hand at creating your own shape?
· Do you want to work directly with the mosaic in tile adhesive?
· Do you want to learn more about the Italian term andamento?
· Would you like to create a glossy and brightly colored mosaic?
Then this special mosaic course is for you.
I am passionate about spreading the joy of mosaic, and I would like to bring more people into the sculptural universe. All my knowledge I share with you. It is best if you already have experience with mosaic, so that you have experience with the craft.
CONTENT
We work intensively for 3 days with a wall-hung sculptural form in the size of 20 x 30 cm. You can combine a sea of materials: glass, smalti, found objects, natural stone, recycled materials, tiles, porcelain. In fact, only the imagination sets the limits.
- We create our basic shape with mesh, and we base it with tile adhesive. You talk about how to plan your creative process when working with mosaic.
- Material and color choices are discussed. Cutting and machining techniques are tested. The principles of andamento are tested. Material is being prepared.
- Installation of mosaics; follow the lines, with collection on learning points and techniques. The course ends with an exchange of experience.

I am a Mosaic artist, garden enthusiast and the creative driving force in Mosaic Magic.
Since 1997, I have worked with creativity and art in many different contexts, materials, shapes, colors and sizes. Curiosity and the desire for experimentation have always been my driving force.
Mosaic Magic and garden art made my heart beat faster right from the start. Installation art with, for example, clocks, cotton swabs and hairpins or flip flaps and Landart, art in nature with nature's own materials, has over time shaped me into the artist I am today.
Painting on large canvases, sculpture with a chainsaw or clay I can perfectly combine with my other skills as a teacher and facilitator in communication, management and organizational development. I have had a long career as a management developer. See evt. [my profile on LinkedIn.] (https://www.linkedin.com/in/hyldborg/)
I am particularly good at at learning from me, inspiring and enthusing, and gladly go forward in the discovery of new possibilities and material compositions. Maybe that's my strongest DNA -- being curious, trying out options and thinking “we'll find a way to that.” I sincerely hope that those who pass me by will be infected by my enthusiasm for the learning process, immersion and familiarity with the materials.
In recent years, I have been particularly concerned with the regenerative transformation, with all that it entails from both internal and external changes. Essentially, I am advocating that we should strive for a holistic approach. In fact, I have a heartfelt belief that creativity opens up our consciousness, which goes far beyond what our thoughts and words can articulate. Moreover, my approach is that creativity in its many forms promotes life joy and well-being, and is itself healing in the frayed life.
