For over 25 years I have mosaiced murals in ceramic, marble, glass, slate and more. We have great fun in weekly workshops bringing designs to life. When not teaching, I mosaic critically endangered wildlife, giving them a small platform to raise awareness. I have won awards in international wildlife competitions and exhibited at the Royal Geographical Society and Natural History Museum as well as all over the UK. Regular commissions are undertaken, please enquire.

Rita J. reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"The instructions were excellent and you were very patient with me. It was very clear and easy to understand. My wow factor was seeing so many different types of mosaic tiles."

abelmosaics responded:

"Your house sign has turned out brilliantly as a mosaic Rita, Great cutting to achieve the uniform numbers!"

Karen B. reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"Emma was very clear with her instructions and demonstrations. She provided subtle guidance to help us produce a mosaic to the best of our abilities whilst, at the same time, allowing us to discover our own talents and interpretation of the task in hand. She was very patient, answered all questions with clarity and was always complimentary of our efforts. The day was very relaxed and enjoyable and I learned a lot. I’ll certainly be booking another session. This may well be my new hobby!"

abelmosaics responded:

"Thanks so much for your review Karen. Your colourful seahorse worked very well as a mosaic."

Amy reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"Great creative day! Emma's tuition is easy to follow with tips on design, colours and techniques. So nice to have a small class so you can get all the help you need. Next time I would definitely spend more time on the design prior to coming so I could crack on quicker as I ran out of time a little. Would definitely like to do course in the future."

abelmosaics responded:

"It was lovely to meet you Amy and your mosaic sunset worked very well with the colours and andamento you chose. Thanks so much for this review."

Isabel M. reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"What I enjoyed the most is that you provide the right amount of support. Not too much so I still feel I did it by myself but you were there with brilliant ideas when I got stuck."

abelmosaics responded:

"Your sunflower worked very well as a mosaic Isabel, thanks so much for the Review."

Emma A. reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"- Emma was fantastic at adapting the workshop to meet the needs of the learner I support. She was excellent at helping us plan in advance so we could make the most of our time together in her beautiful workshop. Emma’s instructions were clear and concise, and we were really happy with what we created. A wonderfully creative new experience and such a fun and relaxing way to spend a morning. Thank you again Emma for all of your flexibility, excellent teaching and wonderful workshop space. We hope we will be able to come back again soon."

abelmosaics responded:

"Thank you very much for your comments Emma. It was a pleasure to give a private workshop to you and your Learner, and her Monty dog worked very well as a mosaic. We had fun and I'm so glad your client enjoyed the experience."

Sue M. reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"I attended a workshop with Emma and it was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Her teaching was clear, encouraging and thoughtful. We started with the design and learnt about different styles depending on how we wanted the final piece to look. We also learnt about cutting and placement. As the day progressed Emma helped us as we worked on our projects and we went home with a finished project. I will definitely book another course with Emma. Her own designs are on view in the workshop space and I’ve never seen any mosaic work like hers, it’s brilliant!"

abelmosaics responded:

"Sue, your Swift flying in front of the moon is beautiful - well done and thank you for your lovely comments."

Tracey Abbott reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"Excellent workshop. Emma was very attentive, explained each stage of the process and was there to assist when required. All the materials I needed top create a mosaic were available. I was a beginner and there were more experienced people in the workshop who clearly appreciated the ongoing support and use of the studio and resources. I would recommend this workshop and am likely to be back to explore the art of mosaic further."

abelmosaics responded:

"Tracey, thanks so much for your lovely review, it was a pleasure teaching you the art of mosaics and your Kingfisher came out beautifully. I look forward to seeing you again some time."

Suzanne C. reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"It was great to learn a new skill, I hadn’t realised how tricky it was to cut just the right shape. I enjoyed the atmosphere within the group, very friendly and supportive, as it’s always good to meet new people. It was great to see how the mosaic built up. I really enjoyed the sense of achievement at the end, thank you for all your support."

abelmosaics responded:

"Your Dragonfly mosaic worked really well Suzanne, thank you for the lovely review."

Jennie B reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"I had a fantastic creative day on a one day course with Emma at Abel Mosaics. Emma is great teacher, she provides lots of inspiration, guides you through what is possible, then patiently teaches you step by step how to create your own piece. Her stunning mosaic’s make it look easy, but I soon realised there is so much skill involved in her intricate work. The studio is well set up with a great selection of wonderful tiles in so many colours for us to use, all the tools and boards were supplied. The studio is lovely and light, looking out onto the garden. I will definitely come back and do another course with Emma, so much more to learn."

abelmosaics responded:

"Thanks very much for your Review Jennie, you made a great mosaic, lots of detail and great blending of colours. I look forward to seeing you here again."

Rick reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

""I much enjoyed my day with you learning something about the art of mosaic! It's a great deal more complex than a casual glance can appreciate, and to see your superb work is inspirational. I have a long way to go and will certainly want to spend a further day finishing my Goldfinch and embarking on a new design. Thank you so much for introducing me to the delights and intricacies of your mosaic art. I look forward to spending another day with you in the Spring!" "

abelmosaics responded:

"Thank you so much Rick, your colourful Goldfinch is taking shape and I look forward to seeing you again in the Spring."

Sandra H. reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

""I was happy with the tuition, I hadn't paid much attention to Andamento previously, but it is clearly important. Also, the need to think about texture as well as colour…. I enjoyed seeing the mosaic being created by another student and hearing the advice you gave.""

abelmosaics responded:

"Many thanks Sandra, your Koi carp had lots of movement in the water so the andamento really worked well."

Carol reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"Thank you for a wonderful mosaic day in your lovely studio. The instruction, advice, and help was really good (plus coffee and cake!) The time flew by and we were all very pleased with our tiles. This was my third time, and I will be back again."

abelmosaics responded:

"Looking forward to seeing you back in the studio Carol! It was great fun and the three of you made brilliantly creative mosaics. "

Alisha reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"the WOW factor = seeing my image come to life and look like the real thing, rather than just a bunch of cut tiles!"

abelmosaics responded:

"Thanks Alisha, you made a beautifully cut mosaic."

Rosanna & Laura reviewed: Mosaic/chat/create! with award winning mosaicist Emma Abel

"We found you extremely patient/inspiring and admired the way you concentrated on our good points and gave us gentle, clear guidance on how we could improve our work. You created a very relaxed, supportive environment. The workshop was a perfect length and really good value for money. As a first attempt we were wowed with what we achieved with your help. We were surprised at the breadth and quality of materials you gave us access to."

abelmosaics responded:

"It was a pleasure to teach you both, thanks so much for your review, "

"I enjoyed the whole experience and seeing my creation come into focus that was WOW - to think I was able to create a piece of art from small square tiles."

abelmosaics responded:

"Thanks so much Val, mosaics as an artform are fascinating aren't they!"
