Rachel and Shane reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"We had the best day doing this workshop!! Denny is an amazing teacher and host, and makes excellent vegan gluten free fudge cake too! :-) Everything was so well explained and we got to practice cutting and laying our tiles (and grouting our artwork when the glue was dry) by making coasters before starting our main pieces. It was a really relaxing time; we found mosaic-ing to be a very calming, mindful activity! We got comprehensive notes to take home, plus some extra materials so we could finish off our pieces at home - we’re already looking online to order our own tools and tiles to create more mosaics! We also loved meeting beautiful Daisy the dog. Highly recommend this course!"

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you, Rachel, that is such a lovely review! And thank you for being so speedy with it. It’s always good to know you’ve enjoyed your day with me and that it’s inspired you to do more mosaic’ing. Hope to see you and Shane again .. and don’t forget to send photos of your finished pieces. X"

"Denny was so patient and gave excellent advice, the course was well lead and I felt in great company! I of course have to mention the lemon drizzle, which was so good I had 2 slices! 🍋 I feel very happy with my coaster and framed piece, and will definitely be back again! "

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you, Molly, for this lovely review. I’m so glad you’re happy with your creations … and loved the cake. With all the cake mentions I get I’m beginning to think I should change my name to MosaicxCakeAndMe!!!"

Rachel Wakley reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"Absolutely fantastic, I loved every minute and learned more than enough to get me started to make some of my own pieces. Denni was so patient and knowledgeable and you couldn't help but be inspired by her many amazing pieces around the house, my mind was an explosion of ideas for that day and for the future. We were given very useful, comprehensive notes and some tiles to take away with us and Denni gave me couple of little bits I liked on the day too. The cake was delicious and ensured we took a couple of small breaks! Mosaicking is highly addictive, when you start you do not want to stop, that is definitely true! Such a good value course in every respect, I will go back to learn more, in the meantime, anyone reading this should just book a place on Denni's course, you will not be disappointed, it is the best money I have spent on something for myself. Enjoy!"

MosaicXandMe responded:

"I’m thrilled to read your review as I certainly get the impression you enjoyed your day! It makes it all worth while to learn you want to do more too. Thank you so much, Rachel. In fact I think it’s the best review I’ve had and one I should frame 🤗👍! I hope to see you again sometime at another workshop. Denny x"

Mairi Whiting reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"My friend Rebecca and I had a wonderful day at the Beginners Mosaic Workshop and came away with two surprisingly professional looking pieces....a practice coaster and individual wall art in a frame. We were both delighted! Denny is warm, friendly and calm. She immediately put us at ease and treated us to a very informative day. She has a huge variety of materials to choose from and we left with skills and confidence to have another go at mosaic at home. The tea/coffee and home made cake was a bonus! Thank you so much Denny for a very enjoyable and memorable day. "

MosaicXandMe responded:

"A lovely review, thank you Mairi. So glad you enjoyed the day and were pleased with your creations - they did look great! I enjoyed the day too - you were great students. P Hope to see you again at another workshop. "

Tracey Howe reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"Denny runs a brilliant course for learning how to begin your mosaic journey. Unhurried, informative and practical guidance for you to create your own pieces that are so individual. Alongside, homemade CAKE and a great small group of people it is a lovely day but potentially an ongoing addiction xx Thanks Denny (and the gorgeous Daisy 🐾) "

Julia Ford reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"Denny is an excellent tutor and a very welcoming host. Lots of coffee, homemade cake and patience all day long. The course was informative and instructive with an extensive (amazing) supply of materials available enabling us to create an art piece to be proud of. We were given thorough notes to take away with our creations. I highly recommend this course but be careful Denny will definitely pass on the mosaic bug so you won’t want to stop!! "

"Fab review, Julia, thank you 🤗. So glad you enjoyed your day - and the cake! You certainly can be proud of your piece - it was lovely. I look forward to seeing you again in the new year for the intermediate course. Thanks again. Denny x "

"As my email/message was not read properly, I wasnt prepared, and had difficulty finding the place. Once contacted, Denny came out to meet me, and was welcoming and helpful. I enjoyed assembling pieces and learning mo re about the wonders of mosiacs. Friendly, group with nice treats, lovely works displayed and a valuable reintroduction to creative possibilities."

Annie reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"Just enjoyed a fantastic Mosaic day with Denny. We were welcomed to Denny’s beautiful home and thoroughly enjoyed working with all different types of mosaic materials. As mentioned in other reviews the cake alone is worth it! We all came away with a spring in our step after producing our own unique mosaics. This is an amazing day and very good value. Thank again Denny x "

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you Annie for this lovely review! So glad the day put a spring in your step - spending time being creative is a good way to recharge as is spending quality time with friends. I hope you can all join a workshop again or crafternoon in the new year. Denny x"

Shirley reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"This course comes highly recommended. From the very warm welcome, delicious cakes and refreshments, there wasn’t anything not to like. Denny was very patient and informative, sharing lots of tips and examples of her excellent work. Working in a small group was friendly and intimate with plenty of opportunity to ask questions, share ideas and offer encouragement, along with a few laughs. I was thrilled to come away with some finished pieces of mosaic and a passion to explore further. "

Jennie Maynard reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"Had an absolutely fabulous day with my daughter. Denny was a fantastic teacher, who made it fun and very enjoyable. Neither of us had any previous experience but were amazed with the pieces of work we took home with us. The setting was beautiful as was Denny's lovely work that was on display. We will both be definetly continuing with creating mosaics. To cap it all the carrot cake was delicious."

"Thank you, Jennie! Feedback like this is much appreciated. And glad to know you’ll both be continuing with your new skill! Hope to see you again soon. Best wishes Denny"

Alexandra Russell reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"I can highly recommend this course. We were given such a warm welcome and Denny is a lovely teacher - encouraging, informative (and very very patient!). The venue, a garden studio in a lovely setting, was well set up and comfortable. The pace and length of the day felt just right, it was never pressurised but was enough time to make something nice. I have been dabbling in mosaics once in a while ever since 2006 and I can honestly say the mosaic I made on this course is the only one I am completely happy with - I love it! I'm feeling very inspired to continue with the style I learned and I will be returning for the intermediate course soon. And I don't eat cake but I am reliably informed that it was delicious."

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you so much for this lovely review, Alex! It’s very gratifying to get these sort of comments and to know you enjoyed the day. I look forward to seeing you and Rosemary again soon. Best wishes Denny"

Kathy Rowden reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"A fun day mosaicking! Denny is a great tutor, and creates a relaxed, friendly atmosphere in her workshops. The Beginner’s Day is suitable for all abilities, including those who (wrongly) think they’re not creative. Great cake, too!"

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you, Kathy. Glad to hear you enjoyed the day including the cake! Hope to see you again sometime for the next stage."

Clare Pennell reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"Really enjoyed this one day workshop where I made a small abstract mosaic piece of wall art. Denny offers a lot of advice throughout the day and I would recommend this course for anyone wanting to try mosaic for the first time and wanting to leave with something to show for it and enough knowledge to make something simple at home"

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you Clare! So glad you enjoyed the day - I enjoyed teaching you and your friends. Hope to see you again one day. Denny x"

JUNE THOMPSON reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"Thoroughly enjoyed the day course. Am always a bit wary of joining classes when going by myself. I was joined by 3 ladies...sisters/friends who were lovely. Denny made everyone welcome and relaxed.The home made cakes were a lovely touch and much appreciated.Enjoyed it so much am booked in for 2 more days in Oct and Nov...Really pleased with the picture I made..so much so have another one in the making.I had dabbled with mosaics before but felt I needed the knowledge of the finer points and finishes...all of which Denny advised me on..."

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you, June, for taking the time to write this review. And a nice one too! Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Denny x"
