Tracey is a self-employed artist, specialising in mosaic. She restores architectural mosaics and creates bespoke works of art to commission for both public spaces and private property. In 2014, she restored the mosaic floors of Victoria Station, Manchester, as part of its £44million refurbishment and is currently working on the project for 2 years to restore Manchester Town Hall's mosaic floors with The Mosaic Restoration Company.
Tracey plays an active role in community learning: working independently with schools, galleries and museums and with adults at her regular studio workshops.
"I've been knitting, sewing, making toys for most of my life. Then... I suddenly needed a special gift for a special occasion. I wanted it to be something I have never done before to surprise everybody, including myself. I always liked mosaics so I thought it's time to make one myself. I needed a teacher, tools and materials to my idea come true. I found it all in Tracey's studio. A lovely encouraging teacher, inspiring environment and huge amount of colourful materials to start my new journey. Thank you Tracey for a day well spent in your cosy studio. My apple tree is growing well...in every sense."
"I had the best time on the 2 Day Collage Ceramics and Mosaic Course and if I could give this more than 5 stars I would. Big thanks to Alison and Tracy who are so talented and have created the most welcoming, calm and peaceful atmosphere to relax and be creative. I was so pleased with the ceramic tiles and mosaic picture we made and really enjoyed this course."

"Hi Jo
It was wonderful to have you with us on the course!
Alison and I loved the work that you made and your enthusiasm and positive spirit throughout were totally contagious. Thank you so much for the lovely review, too. That's made our day!
Hope to see you again for the next one.
All the best,
Tracey"
"I loved every minute of this day and now feel inspired to start a mosaic project at home. The venue was amazing and Tracy is such a welcoming and talented artist. I would like Tracy to be stood next to me as I get independently creative but her guidance and help has given me both new skills and confidence. Thank you …. "
Tracey Cartledge Artist responded:
"Hi Amanda
It was really good to meet you and I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your start to the wonderful world of mosaic making. I hope that you will send me a pic of your finished portrait in the fullness of time and look forward to seeing who or what comes next. If you have any problems sourcing materials, give me a shout.
All the best,
Tracey"
"Tracey is a talented artist , inspiring teacher and the day course was everything I hoped it would be . She gave just the right amount of information , plenty of time to try out techniques and supported each individual to experiment in their own individual way. It was such an enjoyable day I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. "
