Mosaic Making is now available to do at Wild Raspberry! Hurrah!
These are the mosaics pre- grouting.
The letters are printed and fired on ceramic tiles before the party.
The party members then stuck the tiles in their chosen colour ways and pattern, and have left them with us to grout and finish.
We'll then pack them beautifully for each individual, ready for them to be collected by the party host.
This was from Liv's party who has just turned 10 years old
