This year we have added an exciting new event - The Mulranny Stone Wall Festival 'Stone Mosaic Workshop'.

One day "Stone Mosaic Workshop".  During this one day class using local stone for a mosaic, you will learn how to cut a variety of stone to make tesserae using a hammer and hardie.  Classical principals that are used in the great mosaics of ancient times are practised for this project.  You will also prepare a substrate and apply the hanging hardware prior to cementing the tesserae to your design. 

All tools and materials included for a 10" x 8" substrate.  Includes lunch. Class size limited to 5 people. Class time 10am - 4pm on Sunday the 15th of May. 

Please note that the cost of the Mosaic Workshop does not include the Gala Dinner.  (If you are booking the Mosaic Workshop and would like to attend the Gala Dinner it must be booked separately. Please contact us at mulrannymayo@gmail.com for details).
