Scott Harrower Mosaic Design School is at the leading edge of mosaic education in Australia, changing attitudes and affecting traditional and contemporary styles of mosaic expression.

 

The School is based in Australia’s creative regional capital on the far north coast of New South Wales.

 

We are centrally positioned in the CBD of Lismore, the region’s business hub. Away from the bustle of the street below, you will experience the charm of another era when you visit our renovated Art Deco studio above the shops. Students are immersed in a creative comfortable and unique learning experience as they practice one of the world’s oldest mediums; mosaic. Students are exposed to the studio's professional practice and site-specific works being made.

 

 

            

 

 

Classes are kept to small dynamic groups, designed for an enriched exchange of information and interpersonal experiences. We offer a range of learning opportunities from Beginners to Master Classes. We teach the Direct, Indirect, Double-direct and few of our own methods of production, in a professional well equipped studio. Our in-studio supply store stocks all your necessary material requirements from leading suppliers. Our café kitchen serves fresh espresso coffee and treats.

 

Scott Harrower’s zest and passion for teaching has been experienced by private students, communities and school groups around Australia. He has toured by request with the Queensland Arts Council and facilitated creative-arts workshops at Charles Sturt University, University of South East Queensland and Central Queensland University. As the National Education Officer for the Mosaic Association of Australia and New Zealand, Scott Harrower initiated a Mentorship Program to foster professional development opportunities for emerging practitioners. He learnt Byzantine reproduction techniques in Ravenna, Italy.

 

The school welcomes small group bookings.
