Therefore, before you decide how to make simple mosaic tiles, it is important to decide for what purposes and in which places you will use your tiles.

How Do You Choose The Appropriate Surface to Make Simple Mosaic Tiles?

Choosing the surface on which you will stick the mosaic tiles is one of the most important steps in starting to design your work of art. It is very critical that the surface you choose is compatible with the material you will use, is suitable for bonding and painting, and if you are not going to use paint, the surface color and colors of pieces complement each other.

Another point to be considered is whether you will use the surface on which you will paste your mosaic tiles in outdoor areas such as garden, balcony and patio. If you do, you may need to apply a waterproof sealer on the surface and tiles. We offer mosaic workshops at Art Masterclass to give you the perfect opportunity to create your vision.
