Mosaic Art Holiday
Cape Town, South Africa
November 9 – 14, 2014
Euro 1270
Fancy a little Africa? Join Karla Duterloo for a five-day mosaic workshop and holiday in Cape Town, South Africa, with sightseeing in one of the most beautiful cities of the world.
The workshop will feature your choice of 3-D work on a wooden gemsbok head or an 8″ x 8″ 2-D mosaic. African elements will be incorporated into either design.
Accommodations will be in the Lodge at the Atlantic Beach Golf Estate, featuring beautiful rooms, free continental breakfast, and a view over the golf course. The Lodge is a few minutes walk from the studio, with restaurants close by and only a 10 minute walk from the beach. A shopping centre is located just outside the Estate. The beach is at 10 min. walking distance. Cape Town city centre is about a 35 min drive away. During the course, we’ll offer coffee/tea, biscuits and lunch (beautiful SA wine included) for all participants.
Excursions
The holiday week will feature two excursions. First, we’ll head to Cape Town centre to visit Greenmarket craft market and the famous Waterfront craft markets. This is a perfect opportunity to select additional accessories for your mosaic.
Our second excursion will be to Cape Town’s beautiful beaches, Camps Bay and Hout Bay. We’ll drive the famous Chapman’s Peak for stunning views at Noordhoek Beach, then visit Kalk Bay and Simons Town, where we’ll stop at the gemstone factory.
