A Gentle Mosaic Coaster Workshop in Ballarat
Join us in Ballarat on Tuesday 28 April, 6pm–8pm, for a peaceful evening of mosaic making designed to soothe your mind, spark your creativity, and give you space to breathe.
This is not just a class.
It is a small pause in the middle of life’s noise — a moment carved out just for you.
No pressure.
No experience needed.
No need to be “artistic.”
Just calm focus, soft conversation, beautiful materials, and the simple joy of watching your mosaic coaster come to life piece by piece.

✨ A Creative Evening Designed to Help You Slow Down
This workshop is made for anyone craving a gentle creative reset.
Maybe you have been busy.
Maybe your mind has been noisy.
Maybe you just want two hours where you can sit, breathe, and make something beautiful with your hands.
During the session, you will be guided step by step through creating your own mosaic coaster in a relaxed, supportive environment.
There is no rush.
No judgement.
No expectation to get it “perfect.”
Just the quiet satisfaction of placing each piece, watching the colours come together, and creating something that feels like yours.

🪴 No Experience Needed — Truly
You do not need to know anything about mosaics before you arrive.
You will be shown what to do, how to choose your pieces, how to place them, and how to build your coaster in a way that feels enjoyable rather than overwhelming.
This workshop is designed to feel accessible, calm, and encouraging — especially if you have ever wanted to try mosaic art but felt unsure where to begin.
Come as you are.
Leave with something made by your own hands.

💫 More Than a Coaster
Yes, you will make a mosaic coaster.
But what you take home may be more than that.
A little calm.
A little confidence.
A little creative spark.
A little memory of doing something just for yourself.
There is something grounding about working with your hands. Each piece asks you to slow down, notice colour, make choices, and stay present.
By the end of the evening, you will have a handmade keepsake — and hopefully a softer, calmer feeling to carry home with you too.
