A Decorated Circle Mosaic

A Decorated Circle Mosaic

I had such fun working on these bisqued ceramic circles, each about 10 cm in diameter. After glazing them beautifully at the Knysna Pottery House, I couldn’t resist taking the project a step further — and, as usual, went off on a bit of a creative tangent!

I decided to create an intricate glass mosaic background, which ended up taking ages but was completely worth it. The detailed pattern adds wonderful texture and depth around the glazed circles.

The base is made from fibre cement board, sealed and waterproofed, making it sturdy enough for outdoor display in warmer climates. (I’m not entirely sure how well it would handle icy weather — so perhaps best to keep it sheltered if you live somewhere frosty!)





















The next project will feature a simpler design, making it more budget-friendly. Clearly, I really enjoy a my creative time!

Leafy Mosaic table top project - first steps

The 18mm thick Fibre cement Nutec surface is primed with bonding liquid/ key coat. Just waiting for the edge tiles and a few more inserts for the middle. These will match the 4 chairs, which have mosaic seats in the same theme and colours. I will add more posts as I make progress



the leafy inserts and mosaic pieces are laid out on prepared substrate

the centre of the table will have glass mosaic inserts applied with clear silicone
