"My husband and I had a lovely time on Emma’s course, we learnt a lot of new techniques on our mosaic journey. If only the day had lasted longer, the time went very quickly, and we are completing our designs at home. Emma is very encouraging and easy to talk to, the venue is in a lovely hall, in a very nice village. The materials provided were inspiring and helped in the design of our work."

Emma Cavell Art responded:

"Dear Patricia and John, Thank you. It was really good to meet and share with you both on this creative journey. Please let me know how you get on with finishing your mosaics? I look forward to seeing some images when you are ready. I hope to explore with you again soon. Much love and many blessings to you both, Emma "
