Contemporary Mosaics

Traditionally, mosaic is the art of creating images by applying small pieces of glass or tile to a wall or a floor.

Let us bring the craft into the present and make a piece that has a mosaic look. Use any surface, and let your tesserae be any pieces of material you would like to stick or to paint.

What to make

1. Paper: greeting cards, a jewellery box, a gift box, a name plate, a sculpture
2. Glass: a mosaic mirror, a glass votive, bottles
3. Wood: a serving tray, a table, a wall hanging
4. Clay: pots, vases, jewellery, a sculpture
5. Canvas

Use the mosaic technique alongside any other craft technique from the Vault, or one you already know, to make a beautiful artwork. Upload your project with step-by-step instructions if you can — and win a prize!
