Discover the Art of Micro Mosaics
with visiting teacher, Gabrielle Warr
Have you ever been mesmerised by the intricate designs and vibrant colours of micro mosaic jewellery? These exquisite forms of wearable art are made using tiny pieces of coloured glass, a tradition that originated in Italy in the 1800s. Now, you have the chance to learn this remarkable art form yourself with Italian-trained teacher, Gabrielle Warr.
On Saturday 3 – Sunday 4 October 2026, join micro mosaic specialist Gabrielle Warr as she introduces the rare Filato tradition—an intricate form of mosaic art that has been preserved and passed down through generations of skilled artisans.
