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.

Feel free to contact me and ask about what you would like to hear more about.

Welcome to Mosaik Café - a wonderful opportunity for yourself or with others, to have a mosaic experience.

Here you will find an inspiring mosaic workshop where you can try to create unique mosaics of recycled porcelain and beautiful glass together.

In the atmospheric workshop you will not only try the art of mosaic, but also experience the joy of immersion and cohesion through creative expression.

You will experience an atmosphere where the possibilities of mosaic open up and where you can let yourself be excited about the process and the potential of the materials.

Whether you are beginners or practicing artists, the mosaic café will be an inspiring and relaxing experience of creative expression.

You can choose to do the following, which are included in the price:

- Vase, dish or flowerpot covers (recycling)

- Picture in mosaic

- Heart

You will be introduced to the materials and methods and guided through the process.

If you are interested in working with mosaic on an ongoing basis, then you have the opportunity to be a recurring guest. That is, you can put together your own flexible course. The advantage is that you have access to materials that you settle for consumption. It is a good idea if you have been on a weekend course before, as the Mosaic Cafe, does not contain extended tuition.

If you are a group of between 5 and 12 people you have the opportunity to book an appointment only for you. Contact Birthe@MosaikMagi.dk or 29 84 58 80. 

MosaikMagi has reservations that if there are less than 3 at mosaikcafe, we will cancel or give the option to move to another time. You will be notified 1 week before the mosaic cafe.
