James law reviewed: Mosaic one day workshop for adults with Caroline Jariwala, Birmingham

"What can I say about Caroline and this 1 day course. After debating for a while about trying to put my hand to mosaic art, I finally took the plunge and booked onto a Sunday course. Absolutely fantastic day, Caroline's knowledge, tips, personality and abundance of hot drinks and snacks made the whole day feel like I was with a bunch of friends. I walked away from the day with an art piece for my garden, lots of new knowledge about mosaic art, and a great feeling of achievement. I would 100% recommend this course to anyone, whether experienced in mosaic art or not. Thank you for an amazing day Caroline, I look forward to putting everything I learned with you into a new art piece to continue the new theme in my garden."

"What a wonderful day we had! Thank you Caroline for a lovely day. We learnt valuable tips right from the get-go. New skills, great "cheats" and tips, loads of inspirational ideas. Caroline generously shares and adapts for all skill levels. We met interesting folk, ate scrummy food, revelled in the heavenly mosaic surroundings. Will definitely recommend to everyone - even if that means future bookings are like gold dust."

"Thank you Caroline for a wonderful day. I learned so much and feel confident now to attempt to mosaic my own home as beautifully as you have done yours. You and your home are warm and welcoming, and your homemade soup and cakes delicious! You are inspirational, and make mosaic accessible for all. Highly recommend!"

"So so thrilled to have spent the day at a one day workshop at Mango Mosaics! Whether it’s the first time you’ve done a mosaic, or have done a few trial and error projects like me, you will learn so many tips and tricks from the Uber talented Caroline Jariwala! We all walked away with our own design she so patiently guided each of us on: from concept, to how to nip and cut tiles, to best adhesives for the job, to grouting the finished project to hang on a wall! Delicious lunch and cake were provided, as well as several hours of fun and inspiring conversation! I only wished I lived closer so I could come more often, but I will be back, that’s for sure."

"I did my first course with Caroline last week and was nervous as I'm not very confident about doing things like this. I really enjoyed the day with lovely participants and Caroline was great helping each of us achieve something so different and unique. Caroline was a super host too keeping us supplied with drinks and food. Well worth it!"

"Had a fantastic day with Caroline. I had been quite nervous about doing this as I am really not artistic, Caroline was full of encouragement,help and support and I achieved more than I ever thought was possible. It was a great day and I would not hesitate to say ‘give it a go’. I went with my daughter in law and we are both keen to do more at home. A huge thank you to Caroline."

"Just back from a really wonderful day in Caroline's studio. She is such an inspiring teacher and I will definitely book to do another day's course with her in the future. She advises and helps you in a relaxed and supportive way and her studio is bright and inviting. Hesitate no longer. Book yourself on a course and I am sure you will not regret it. The only sad thing - the day is over. Kate"

"I went on a taster course many years ago and now a repeat customer of Caroline’s. Having attended at least 6 courses if not more. Although an avid mosaicer myself I always learn something new, a new tip, a new brand or technique. Caroline’s enthusiasm, knowledge and chocolate fridge cake is always a draw."

"If you love mosaics, then you must do yourself a favour and book with Caroline Jariwala. I did her 1 day workshop in Adelaide, South Australia and it was brilliant. She is a wonderful, funny story-teller and skilled teacher able to cater for all skill levels. I learnt new techniques which has improved my art practice. Don't miss out on a chance to work with Caroline !"

"What a fabulous course! Caroline is so enthusiastic and encouraging to all her students. Her own work is astounding and her home and garden are filled with wall upon wall of her wonderful creations. The atmosphere on the course was very friendly and we were all inspired to produce some beautiful pieces of mosaic to take home. Having learned the basic skill it's something that I feel I could confidently do at home now having purchased a couple of simple tile cutting tools. Caroline provided a really tasty lunch and hot drinks and cake were available all day. If you are wondering, 'Shall I book this course?' stop wondering and do it, you won't regret it!"

"A lovely day to try something new! Caroline took us through the rudiments of cutting tiles and set us going with what we each needed to create our own unique piece. We had help all along the way and timely demonstrations of each stage. We had a lovely soup and rolls lunch in her beautiful garden, and tea and cake! I didn't quite finish but that was no problem as I came away with what I needed to complete my piece. A grand day!"

"Caroline is an amazing and inspirational artist and it's wonderful to see how she has used mosaic in her home. I'd seen images of her work in Chile, and the projects she has completed over here, and also the very helpful YouTube videos, what a woman! If you go to one of her classes you can be sure of success as she guides you through the design process and the shaping of pieces for your own work. It's much more than that though, because you're also encouraged to have fun while she keeps her artists eye on you, giving just the right advice and help. Shell - 25/6/17"

"Loved the workshop. Caroline is very generous in sharing her skills and ideas. Brilliant work room filled with loads of goodies to inspire you. Learn about the correct materials to use and glue, grout etc. Then you can start to create your own design knowing it will be made to last. Small informal group setting. Soup, tea and like minded people. Highly recommend this course."

"I have just completed the one day Mango Mosaics course - I can highly recommend it. Having no experience with Mosaics, I was a little apprehensive but it was a small group of 3 (there's only ever a maximum of 4 per group) and so Caroline had time to explain the process from a blank piece of plywood to finished article. You will certainly finish the day with enough skills to go away and make your own Mosaics. The course is run with a lovely relaxed atmosphere and lunch is provided (and regular tea and cake breaks!). If you're in any doubt, go ahead and book it, you won't regret it."

"I attended Caroline Jariwolas mosaic course on Sunday it was a small group of 4 Which meant that we had a lot of individual attention when we were practicising our new skills. I was able to learn and practice the art of cutting and breaking tiles and using nippers which was my aim. i was also able to see the breadth of mosaicing and the use of discarded crockery. It was a brilliant day Caroline was clearly very talented and knowledgable and it was a joy to see the work in her studio but she was so inspiring and made us see our own potential. There was a very relaxed atmosphere and i felt able to ask any questions i learnt a lot laughed a lot and just love mosaics, I would recommend this course for anybody irrespective of age, gender and experience who wants to try out this wonderfull art in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere, i loved it.
