Julie and Nicky reviewed: Mosaic experience workshop for two with award winning artist Julie Vernon Nottinghamshire

"As a 50th birthday treat for Nicky we attended what was Julie’s first ‘two to one’ socially distanced mosaic workshop since lockdown. Julie went to great lengths to ensure our safety without it impacting upon our enjoyment of the day, including a lovely lunch outside in the garden. Neither of us had tried mosaic before but with Julie’s excellent coaching style and wide range of beautiful materials, were able to harness our creativity and produce indoor plaques that we were delighted with. We were fully engrossed and the time flew by. A grouting demonstration and detailed take home support, including a YouTube video, extended our enjoyment beyond the workshop. We were thrilled with the finished product and have the day we spent making our first mosaic together etched in our minds as a lovely memory. We both plan to continue to explore this compelling craft and would highly recommend the course. Thank you Julie."

"My sister and I had a fantastic day creating our first mosaics with Julie. She gave lots of advice and support but also left us to explore our creative sides too. The lunch was delicious and seeing examples of her work in the beautiful workshop was wonderful. I would highly recommend this to anyone who fancies trying their hand and mosaic making with a great teacher!"

"Many thanks for the review - it was lovely to meet you both. Hope to see you again in the future for some more mosaic making!"

"My daughter and I worked collaboratively on a mosaic, Julie took this into account and gave us a larger base to work on to. The action of making the mosaic was totally absorbing and helped us to be relaxed and to clear our minds of day to day stress. The process of making something, with our hands was so satisfying, it was really the most enjoyable part of the day. We were very much in the moment and it was both creative and therapeutic. Julie is an excellent teacher, we had never made a mosaic before but she gave us clear guidance and then encouraged and supported us in the right amounts. Her studio is bright, warm and full of the tiles and equipment needed to inspire. We met some lovely, like minded people and would really recommend this experience."

Julie Vernon Mosaics responded:

"Thanks for the lovely review. I wonder who will get to keep the mosaic? Good luck with the grouting!"

"Many thanks for your review Karen. Hope to see you again in the future for some more mosaic making. All the best Julie"

"Amazing day. I booked the day for myself and a friend for her birthday and we had a fab time. Julie is a great teacher, the workshop was planned to perfection and on top of that lunch was lovely. I’ve already had some lovely comments about my work and I only made it yesterday. We are going back in a couple of months to make more advanced projects!"

"Had a fantastic day with Julie making an outdoor mosaic plaque. Julie offered encouragement and helpful advice and had an amazing range of colours and materials to bring my idea to life. A very hands-on course where we were encouraged to follow our own ideas and try different techniques. Great venue in her light and airy studio. A relaxing lunch which was most welcome - especially the homemade cake ?. Julie made this a really enjoyable and rewarding day that I'd recommend to anybody wanting to try mosaics or develop their skills."

"I would like to say a massive thank you for the amazing mosaic workshop today and providing me with as much assistance as possible when I made my Union Jack. I felt like it was an amazing therapeutic experience which allowed me to express my true creativity and I am now feeling relaxed because of it. Have a lovely rest of the summer!"

"I attended a full day workshop with Julie where I was given a choice of making an inside or outside project. We were welcomed with refreshments into Julie’s lovely workshop and she talked us through the array of tiles, crockery, embellishments we could use for our chosen project. Julie provided us with a lovely lunch including home made cake. We ended the day being shown how to grout and given a bag to take home to finish our project when the mosaic had dried. I had a great day and would highly recommend this course."

"This is the 2nd of Julie's workshops that I've attended. This time it was myself and my 13 year old daughter. We both had a wonderful time and are very pleased with what we managed to produce on the day. You do not have to be highly creative (I am not) as Julie provides helpful and much appreciated guidance just when it is needed. I would highly recommend this course, both whether you want to do something on your own or as a family / friends outing."
