For more than two decades Workshed Mosaics has guided people of all ages and abilities through the classic art of mosaics, where tiles and grout combine to make striking, colourful, and intricate designs.

Founded by husband-and-wife team Paul and Lisa Petale, Workshed Mosaics celebrates this uniquely accessible art form with friendly, personal instruction that empowers individuals to express themselves.

Whether teaching school holiday classes, working on a classroom project, or producing major art installations for public spaces, Workshed Mosaics always strives for artistic harmony while leaving space for individual expression and happenstance.

Instead of simply smashing tiles to make patterns, Lisa and Paul have developed their own distinct style of mosaics.

This involves cutting and shaping tiles with hand tools to achieve incredibly detailed, balanced and eye-catching works.

Through this method, they combine the accuracy of ancient Roman tesserae with the free expression of modern style.
