Specialist training by expert tutors

Based in Cape Town’s creative hub, the three year, full-time apprenticeship offers a specialised mosaic art course.

This specialist art form is taught by experts in the field:

The mosaic studio is headed up by former Masters Graduates from the renowned Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli in Italy.

The course includes tuition in drawing, art history, applied theory and business skills.

Invaluable experience

Because training is employment-based, apprentices gain invaluable industry experience working on real-world projects – working against production deadlines, collaborating with high calibre artists and learning professional art practices by association.

Apprentices are also exposed to the local art and culture scene, via excursions to art studios, galleries, museums and the art library.

The ultimate excursion takes the form of a cultural tour of Europe – awarded to third year apprentices who perform consistently well
