Elaine Penn reviewed: A day on the tiles: one-day mosaic workshop

"Lovely day doing a craft I haven't tried before. Fiona was a great teacher and also grouted our finished picture for collection the next day. Would definitely recommend. We came away with a lovely mosaic picture to keep and treasure. Fiona also made us plenty of tea and coffee during the day and a delicious cake. Not to mention all the rhubarb from her garden she gave me. Many thanks"

Rebecca Pay reviewed: A night (or morning/afternoon!) on the tiles: a 2.5 hour taster mosaic course

"A thoroughly enjoyable evening. Fiona was a fantastic teacher and helped with all aspects of the mosaics - from design to finish. I had no previous experience and had great fun choosing the tiles and learning how to cut and fit them. An inspiring and relaxed evening with two coasters accomplished too."

Cara Savage reviewed: A night (or morning/afternoon!) on the tiles: a 2.5 hour taster mosaic course

"I really enjoyed making the coasters, the whole process was explained well and no previous experience with this medium is needed. Once I decided on my design and chose the colours of tiles I wanted to use (there are a lot!) I found the process very therapeutic, cutting the tiles to size and then fitting them on a little jig saw puzzle of my very own! Fiona was a great teacher and her own designs are a great inspiration! I highly recommend this course!"

Vicki oliver reviewed: A night (or morning/afternoon!) on the tiles: a 2.5 hour taster mosaic course

"We had a brilliant evening at the Night on the Tiles. Fi explained really well how to cut the mosaics, possible designs and helped us when needed. She had all the colours you could want in different shades. We both made a few coasters each which my mum and I were so chuffed with. We’d both recommend Fi’s classes and that evening course."

Mark reviewed: A day on the tiles: one-day mosaic workshop

"I took my mum on one of Fiona's Mosaic course in February and we both had a great time. Fiona couldn't have been more welcoming. With her guidance we both managed to complete our projects on the one day course. Having seen our mosaics my sisters are now booked on! Despite the snow the studio was lovely and warm plus hot drinks and cake were plentiful! Thank you"

"Thanks for the lovely review Mark. I hope you and your Mum are pleased with your creations and I look forward to welcoming your sisters soon. Fiona."
