Making Mosaic

Sakinah in her studio

Sakinah Haq has been making beautiful mosaic pieces for 6 years now and at the same time she's been getting herself an HND at Todmorden College.  She loves the idea of recycling and her mirrors, frames and wall pieces are all made using broken crockery and other found pieces. "People bring me the bits whenever they break something and I also love collecting beach glass. I had a particularly good haul of old pieces last year in Cragg Vale after the floods uncovered stuff that had been buried for years."

Sakinah has a space at Brooklyn Studios and is one of the organisers of Hebdenbridge Open Studios.  You can buy her work at Spirals on Market St, Hebden Bridge.

At the Meet the Makers Market Sakinah will be working at her table demonstrating how she puts the pieces together, and we'll be able to talk to her about her work and her methods. Looking forward to it Sakinah!
