2-day mosaic workshops in West London

Description

This two-day workshop is perfect for beginners to really get your teeth into learning the basic skills of mosaic making: using the tools, cutting glass and ceramic, making a design, laying the pieces, sticking and grouting. Over the two days you could expect to make something roughly A4 size ish - a wall panel, a useful trivet, a little mirror or some coasters, for example or you can choose from other shapes I have - birds, fish, hexagons, circles etc,. There will be lot of materials to play with and lots of books and ideas to give you inspiration, pens, tracing paper, carbon paper, etc, but if you have some ideas do bring them along too. Students with previous experience are also very welcome to work on more advanced projects with guidance and supervision.

What's included in the price?

All tools and materials are included - a huge selection of glass, porcelain, ceramic and bases to work on - and all safety equipment is provided. Tea and coffee are available throughout the day, and there are a couple of cafés close by for lunch/take-away sandwiches, etc. There is a seating area at the centre if you wish to bring your own packed lunch.

Patricia Marshall reviewed: 2-day mosaic workshops in West London

"It was the first time I’d ever done a mosaic course. Sarah’s excellent guidance & instructions were easy to follow. I was soon engrossed in a project for my garden. Sarah had a huge variety of tiles, porcelain, pebbles & glass to choose from. Throughout the course I truly appreciated Sarah checking how I was getting on & giving tips. The group felt very relaxed & friendly. I couldn’t believe how quickly I got the knack of how to mosaic. Sarah also gave a handout so we could continue at home. I am now looking forward to doing another one in October, it’s great fun, I loved it!"

Sarah Stanley Mosaics responded:

"Hi Patricia - thank you so much for such a wonderful review. I am so very pleased you enjoyed the weekend and that you are pleased with your lovely work - it is going to look fantastic in your garden. Thanks so much, Sarah x"

Jen Cooper reviewed: 2-day mosaic workshops in West London

"I attended Sarah's course with my mum - neither of us had any prior experience. We really loved our weekend of mosaics. Sarah is great, explains everything perfectly and gave lots of advice. We ended up with several finished peices that we're both very pleased with. Sarah really passes on enough advice and confidence to start you off on a new hobby - and it's a really fun, chatty environment. I strongly recommend!!"

Sarah Stanley Mosaics responded:

"Thank you so much Jen - I am so pleased you both enjoyed the weekend and are very pleased with your mosaics. You both produced some really lovely work. Thanks again x "

ANNE PIERRONNET reviewed: 2-day mosaic workshops in West London

"A thoroughly enjoyable week-end. Sarah was a very welcoming teacher. She gave support and advice equally to “old-hands” and total beginners, , answering our questions throughout the course, encouraging spontaneity without patronising and giving us the freedom to express our artistic emotions. It was fun to meet different people but with similar interest. Highly recommended. "

Sarah Stanley Mosaics responded:

"Hi Anne - thank you so much for such a lovely lovely review. That is exactly what I hope to achieve with our weekends and I am so very pleased you enjoyed it so much and shared your thoughts here. Your fish is so lovely - you captured his character so well. Thanks again x"

Nancy Leakey reviewed: 2-day mosaic workshops in West London

"I attended Sarah's two day weekend Mosaics course 25/26 March 2023 as a complete beginner. I walked in to being very impressed by how organised Sarah was and her vast choice of materials. Sarah is a brilliant teacher and was so encouraging, making sure everyone had enough of her time and starting completely from the beginning for those who needed it. I decided, somewhat ambitiously, to make a turtle trivet and Sarah drew the basic outline of the turtle for me when I was struggling. I am so looking forward to my next project with the knowledge I now have and have booked another course with Sarah later in the year. The whole experience was very enjoyable and I feel inspired to explore my creative side further! Thank you, Sarah, for your expertise, warmth and encouragement."

Sarah Stanley Mosaics responded:

"Thank you so much for such a lovely glowing review Nancy - I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for your super enthusiasm during the course - you should be really proud of your lovely turtle - he is really very gorgeous and will look just right in your kitchen I am sure. Thanks again Nancy x "

Maggie. reviewed: 2-day mosaic workshops in West London

"I initially took part in this Mosaic weekend as a gift from my daughter and I totally loved it! So much so I did a second weekend. Sarah makes you very welcome. The setting is so relaxed. There is a wide range of resources to choose from and I came away with two wall plaques/decorations that I feel very proud of. I also took my own mirror frame to decorate. There is such a wide range of tiles and resources to choose from and all the tools you need. Sarah explains all the techniques in a clear and friendly manner with lots of support as you create your individual pieces. You are also sent home with some very useful printed instructions to reinforce and develop your creativity at home. If you would like to learn about Mosaics as a new skill or to reinforce your knowledge Sarah's weekend is the one! "

Sarah Stanley Mosaics responded:

"Thank you so much Maggie for such a lovely review and kind comments. And also for coming back a second time - you have produced some really lovely work, you have a real sense of colour and your pieces are so lively. Thank you so much for such a glowing review - I really appreciate it! Sarah x"

Suzanne reviewed: 2-day mosaic workshops in West London

"I attended Sarah's course in October 2019 and loved every minute of it. There were a huge choice of materials to choose from and Sarah's expert guidance was great. Within no time at all I was cutting my own tiles and with Sarah's help assembling them. I chose to make a kitchen trivet which only took 1 day. Other people were attempting more ambitious projects but I liked the fact that I had something ready to take home. The next day I started to make a house number plate and we were allowed to take home enough materials to finish projects at home including the grout. It was also great meeting other people - everyone was very friendly and chatty and it was a really relaxing experience. Sarah is a great teacher and went to great lengths to make sure everyone was happy with their projects. Would recommend."

Sarah Stanley Mosaics responded:

"Thank you so much for such lovely comments Suzanne - I really appreciate them. I am thrilled you enjoyed the course so much - I loved the colours of your trivet and you took such care with the colour selection to match your kitchen I am sure it looks great. Good luck finishing the house number - do send a picture! Thanks again, Sarah."
