Mosaic is expressive and rewarding, so why not come and have a go at making your own special piece. Courses are held in the garden studio pictured below. One-to-one courses are held in this studio where you will have the benefit of individual tuition.
1 or 2 day courses from March to October (and on into November, weather permitting). Personally tutored in a relaxed and scenic location in Bourton on the Water. You will receive instruction on materials and shaping techniques and go on to pursue your own creative project.
Tutored by Jackie Isard
