Lynne Jones reviewed: Make a Portrait in Mosaic Course

"6 week portrait course The portrait course was really helpful to me, I had excellent tuition from Debra but she also gave me freedom to create my own style for the portrait. The environment is inspiring as there are many other mosaic projects happening around her studio area, students are keen to share their work. Debra has a very calm, positive way of teaching and explaining, showing other materials or examples that make it easy to adapt for your piece of work."

Mill Hill Art Way responded:

"I'm really glad that you found the experience helpful so that you could translate the basic mosaic concepts to create such an evocative and unique portrait of your own!"
