I has the mosaic experience with Giulia and three other learners yesterday and found it to be a truly excellent day - extremely well organised, welcoming, relaxed and fun - as well a being a lovely challenge to in a very focussed way make a mosaic piece from a clear master craftsperson. The studio and location are great and Giulia a very helpful and encouraging teacher. I enjoyed meeting the other students and the teas and coffee & biscuits provided. I wholly recommend!!

I had a wonderful day making mosaic for the first time! Giulia is a wonderful teacher, she is friendly and is here to guide you through the steps. She prepared plenty of templates for us to develop from and she can suggest on material and colours if you needed help. It was a day-long workshop but there were music, refreshment and lunch break so it was relaxing and enjoyable. There were 3 other learners, in a cosy studio in a lovely neighbourhood. I love that you can see samples of Giulia's professional work on display. They are on a whole different level from your usual DIY crafts mosaic. I have so much more appreciation to mosaic art after chatting with Giulia about her work. Definitely recommend this to everyone. You can learn the art of mosaic properly from a professional artist.
