Having obtained my degree in Visual Communications I worked for many years as a Graphic Designer and now specialise in running Art courses. I became interested in mosaic design some years ago after attending a course in Oxford and went on to set up my own studio in the Cotswolds where I explored the craft
in more detail and started to teach.
As a mosaic artist I have explored different materials which give the mosaics a more interesting and colourful appeal, such as stained glass, pebbles and washed up glass from the beach. I believe classes should be small to ensure each student achieves and enjoys their course. All of my students produce a mosaic they can be proud of to take home and it is important to me that their experience is rewarding and fun. My approach is to bring out my students creative skills and help them produce their own mini masterpiece! The smiles on their faces speak volumes about their creative experience. Many return for another go! I really enjoy teaching arts and crafts as it is a most rewarding experience indeed!
