Description

This Mother’s Day, choose an experience that feels thoughtful, restorative and genuinely enjoyable. As part of our Mother’s Day Creative Escape & Cream Tea experiences, this mosaic workshop offers a calm and creative retreat, whether you’re treating yourself, celebrating someone special, or simply taking time out to do something beautiful. It’s an opportunity to slow down, focus on the process, and enjoy a moment of quiet indulgence. In an elegant, relaxed setting, you’ll create a timeless garden feature, choosing between a decorative mosaic bird bath or a working mosaic sundial. With access to a carefully curated selection of glass, ceramic and specialist mosaic pieces, you can design something that feels personal and refined.

You’ll be guided through each stage, from planning a circular composition to cutting and placing tesserae, finishing with professional grouting techniques to ensure your piece is weather-ready and long-lasting. Those choosing the sundial will receive guidance on layout and positioning so it functions correctly, while bird bath makers will focus on creating a shallow, bird-friendly design that balances elegance with purpose.
