For 25 years I have mosaiced pattern and wildlife murals in ceramic, marble, glass and more. We have great fun in weekly workshops bringing designs to life. When not teaching, I mosaic critically endangered wildlife, giving them a small platform to promote awareness. Since 2019 I have been shortlisted from c.3000 global entries each year in the Arts Initiative run by conservation charity Explorers Against Extinction. Regular commissions are undertaken, please enquire.

Elaine reviewed: Mosaic/Chat/Create! with professional mosaicist Emma Abel

"I have so enjoyed Emma's workshops over the course of the last year. No mosaic request ever fazes her, and she uses her knowledge and experience so skilfully to ensure that everyone is delighted, and sometimes surprised, with what they are able to achieve. Emma ensures that every workshop is a good day with a lovely atmosphere. I can't wait for my next one."

abelmosaics responded:

" Your comments are much appreciated Elaine and your attention to detail always creates a lovely mosaic. I look forward to seeing how your next mosaic evolves."

Ellen reviewed: Mosaic/Chat/Create! with professional mosaicist Emma Abel

"My daughter and I did this course at the weekend. Fantastic and very full day. Everything was explained and questions both on the topic and around it were welcomed. Emma is a very talented artist who shares her love for colour and flair. We plan to return for further days and developing our new skills"

abelmosaics responded:

" Ellen, it was lovely to meet you and Claire, your mandala and leaf mosaics were excellent. Thank you very much for this review and I look forward to seeing you soon!"

Jocelyn reviewed: Mosaic/Chat/Create! with professional mosaicist Emma Abel

"I recently attended Emma's mosiac day with my mum. I can truly say that it was a fantastic day! The art form of mosaicing is fascinating & harder than you realise but with Emma's knowledge, guidance & skill (and patience!) you create a piece that you never thought you could when you started! I would absolutely recommend this day, you don't need any experience as Emma guides you through the whole process. Emma's art is stunning & you are mesmerised by the beautiful pieces adorning her workshop. So much inspiration. We will definitely be returning! "

abelmosaics responded:

" It was lovely to meet you and your Mum Jocelyn, thanks so much for your kind comments. Your butterfly was beautifully made with great attention to detail so I am confident that your next mosaic will be equally good! Ann made a lovely Beehive with clever colour combinations too."

Laura McCauley reviewed: Mosaic/Chat/Create! with professional mosaicist Emma Abel

"Emma was a fantastic host and teacher which made the experience even better. It was by far one of the best courses I have ever been on in my professional career being an Art teacher. I learnt so much and have a new found respect for the skill involved in mosaic art. It was amazing! Will definitely be doing it again."

abelmosaics responded:

" Laura, it was a pleasure teaching you, I'm so glad you enjoyed learning the skills for mosaic making and would love to see you here again. Your giraffe was beautifully executed! "

Jessica reviewed: Mosaic/Chat/Create! with professional mosaicist Emma Abel

"Thank you for an excellent introduction to mosaic design and creation. The workshop both met and excelled my expectations of learning to put glass tiles together; your encouragement made this possible. I am delighted with my completed White Admiral. I found the pace and delivery of information and technical instruction to be timed sympathetically with my progress which gave me great confidence. You guided, directed and helped me to achieve a completed mosaic whilst feeling I had learned and created."

abelmosaics responded:

" Thank you so much for this Jessica, your White Admiral butterfly was created with much diligent cutting resuting in a lovely mosaic."

Rachel reviewed: Mosaic/Chat/Create! with professional mosaicist Emma Abel

"I have wanted to do a mosaic workshop for such a long time ... I can’t thank my son and his partner enough for the wonderful present of a gift voucher for one of your workshops. I had a thoroughly enjoyable day and learnt so much. I am already planning my next mosaic and so many things I look at now I see a beautiful subject for a mosaic. I think you could say I have the bug. Thank you again for a wonderful day and I will be booking another workshop in the not too distant future."

abelmosaics responded:

" Thanks so much Rachel, it was lovely to meet you and your Dragonfly mosaic shimmered beautifully!"

Lorraine A reviewed: Mosaic/Chat/Create! with professional mosaicist Emma Abel

"I immediately felt calm in your presence and found your mosaics in your workshop and home not only beautiful to look at but stimulating and helpful. I learnt a lot from your tuition and was reassured that what I was doing was okay. I was very touched that you offered to let me stay longer because I started later than expected and that you sorted out the left bag so quickly. It was very much appreciated. All in all, a wonderful day!"

abelmosaics responded:

" Thank you Lorraine, it was a pleasure to meet you and Shona."

Masha reviewed: Mosaic/Chat/Create! with professional mosaicist Emma Abel

"I most enjoyed meeting Emma, listening to Emma’s very impactful and clear instructions and learning and having a go at creating something that I have never done. ‘Start with an eye and a head’ ‘ Design, shape, glue’ will stay with me for a long time..."

" It was a pleasure to meet you Masha, your mosaic worked really well and thank you this review."

Angie Hewitt reviewed: Mosaic/Chat/Create! with professional mosaicist Emma Abel

"I bought this course for my husband for Christmas, the gift was really for the two of us so it was a win win! Emma is wonderful, we had a great day and we're so pleased with our efforts. Emma is a great teacher and an amazing mosaicist !! Her work is beautiful. We enjoyed the day so much that we are booked to return and finish off ?"

abelmosaics responded:

" Thanks so much for this feedback Angie, your Oak tree mosaic was well constructed with much attention to detail, and Paul's Airedale Terrier design looked great in the amber colours. I look forward to seeing you again."

MR MARTIN WELLER reviewed: Mosaic/Chat/Create! with professional mosaicist Emma Abel

"An amazing day spend with Emma, the day shot by really quickly, which in itself says a lot about the enjoyment and concentration. Emma gave clear instructions and guidance on how to design and create a mosaic and it was clear to see her passion for the art with some fantastic examples around the studio. Enjoyed it being a small group and what's not to like about endless cups of tea and lemon cake. Now working on designs for a return visit. Would highly recommend this course."

abelmosaics responded:

" Thank you for this review Martin, your bicycle mosaic and Joanne's seahorse turned out beautifully. I look forward to your next visit!"

Sue reviewed: Mosaic/Chat/Create! with professional mosaicist Emma Abel

"As a complete beginner to the art of mosaics, I found this was a perfect course. Emma's knowledge and teaching skills gave me confidence and turned a new challenge into a very enjoyable experience. I am looking forward to attending some more of Emma's courses in the future. Thank you Emma."

abelmosaics responded:

" Thank you for this Sue, your turtle mosaic looks wonderful. You created a very neat and tidy mosaic and I loved your choice of subtle browns and greens against the water. I look forward to seeing you again on another workshop. Emma"
