The Wednesday Mosaic Group offers a safe space for you to come and explore this exciting, accessible medium.  Focusing on a freestyle approach using various mixed media materials and inviting you to experiment with basic tools and techniques.

We stay for a shared lunch together on the last session of each term

between 1-2pm

The emphasis is on slowing down and dropping in to the present moment.

 

Exploring wonderful materials and colours, giving us time to listen to and explore ideas through creative mosaic play.

 

I work generously with everyone

on an individual level

while holding the group coherence.

Guidance and support is offered in harnessing your ideas alongside basic techniques.  I encourage everyone to work at their own pace, in their own expression.

I supply lots of mixed media materials, recycled china, stained glass, jewellery, beads, shells and more!

I also encourage you to bring your own treasures that you might like to use in your creation, i.e. your old jewelry, china etc.  People often like to create a memory mosaic with all their favorite pieces...

Testimonial

"Emma Is such a kind, generous, supremely talented and truly caring person. 

She has boundless energy and has a deep passion for art which is addictive. 

Her teaching style is of course to teach techniques but it's much more than that. 

She teaches you to let go of fear and 'go with the flow'.  Above all she is an amazing facilitator who stimulates your own creativity in a lovely holistic way - such a welcoming, relaxing and safe atmosphere where your confidence is boosted so genuinely.  The venue itself is beautifully chosen and definitely enhanced the experience as did the other lovely people on the course.  The amount and variety

of resources Emma provides are also a heady mix of inspiration too.  These were my first footsteps into mosaic making and I have been fired up to choose this as my main creative outlet as a result of coming on this fabulous course. 

I would recommend it as positive therapy for anyone!!  Book now!"
