Mosaic students and their teachers will present their works at an exhibition that celebrates cultural heritage in vibrant colourful forms.
There will be works on show from more than 35 students.
The theme this year is ‘diversity’, and what it represents to students.
Susan Tindall-McDonald, who has been teaching mosaics at Hazelhurst for the past 16 years, says the range of ideas inspired by students’ cultural backgrounds will come to life.
“...From looking at obscure ideas and the diversity of different mediums on colour and form, to nature and beyond. The diversity of this alone makes it such a colourful exhibition,” she said.
“Mosaics is a strong art form and its history goes back centuries, we are still uncovering mosaics today and they are preserved as if they where made yesterday.
“The mediums used, mean the colours stay as rich as when they were first cut and the traditional way of laying gives the works the quality of looking like a fresco from a distance.
“The use of stone, marble, shell, glass and all sorts of other mediums to get the colours needed; the cutting techniques can take a long time to learn and so it can take many months to make a mosaic.
“It is very therapeutic to the soul to work in this art form.”
The exhibition opens November 17 and ends on the 27th.
