Marg will demonstrate various ways of cutting and shaping mosaic materials and the methods of composition, design and actual construction. She will also demonstrate the use of the hammer and hardy, traditional tools that date back to Roman and Byzantine times. Tools that still hold a very real relevance in contemporary mosaic practise.
One of the goals of the Hampton Festival is to foster the development of the arts in the local community. We achieve this by providing an outlet for the work of established and up-and-coming artists.
The artists in residence demonstrations give patrons visiting the Festival an insight into a number of different artistic mediums and all demonstrating artists are keen to share their knowledge and passion with Festival visitors.
