Teach a class
We pay tutors a fair session fee, provide the materials and help with the planning. Tell us what you’d teach and who it’s for.

Mosaic runs on people like you
Eighty-six volunteers, six hundred and forty Friends and a lot of tutors who started as students. Give an hour, share a skill or put your work on our walls.

Friends of Mosaic
Keep the doors open, and the prices low
Ticket sales and room hire cover about two thirds of what it costs to run Mosaic. Friends cover most of the rest, and fund the supported places on every class.
