Pay R75 for a four-hour mosaic workshop with light lunch at Creative @ Karoo, valued at R250 (save 70%)

If you find yourself talking to your cat Marty about the intricacies of your love life, and expecting an answer,  or ranting at unsuspecting people at the grocery store because they do not have the hummus and purple-sweet potato flavoured dip you came all the way for; you may need to find another outlet for your built-up tension. Take advantage of the therapeutic qualities of mosaic making with a four-hour mosaic workshop including a light lunch at Creative @ Karoo for R75.

Dating back to the second half of 3rd millennium BC, aka a seriously long time ago, mosaic art has been healing and helping stressed minds for decades. Creative @ Karoo recognises the calming and antidotal qualities of this art form and is offering you the chance to get rid of some tension and create a masterpiece. Mosaic involves sticking various coloured tiles on a flat surface to make a picture of anything you please from a sunflower to Marty attempting to block your whining out with his iPod. It all sounds simple but mosaic is a delicate art requiring concentration and creativity. You may need to channel your inner Dada artists and attempt free association or dancing like a madman to “Freak out” to get those creative juices flowing.

The friendly and professional staff at Creative @ Karoo know exactly how to bring out your inner artiste and their simple methods make mosaic making fun for any age. This Groupon of a four hour course also includes a scrumptious light lunch to feed your tummy after the creativity has fed your mind. A few minutes in to the workshop and you’ll forget about the stress you went through at work or the fact that the neighbour’s dog made a yummy breakfast out of your prized geraniums. The mosaic you make at Creative @ Karoo can be taken home and proudly displayed in your living room. You could also give it away as a gift, possibly to that poor woman in aisle five who had no recollection of ever stocking hummus and purple-sweet potato flavoured dip.

Creative @ Karoo provides the perfect relaxed atmosphere and all tools and materials are provided for you. Mosaic madness awaits with this Groupon and besides the various benefits of mosaic making being creative, this workshop will also hopefully make you scream at people less.

Mosaic fact: A mosaic artist in Italy used the guise of his mosaic art to hide the fact that he was a shape-shifter. Every fortnight townsfolk said they heard a Blackbird singing in the dead of night, this was the artist who would fly around and peck colourful tiles off his neighbour’s roofs to use for his next masterpiece.
