Roman Style Mosaic Coaster Kit - Set of 4

Really enjoyed making these mats. It was the first time I had worked on a mosaic and it was great fun. The kit arrived really quickly and was beautifully packaged. The instructions were easy to follow. Only difficulty was choosing the colour design. Would highly recommend for a complete beginner.

Traditional Painting for Stained Glass

I have just returned from this course with Brenda and enjoyed every minute of it.

Sculpture workshop two days with Jo Garden Art in beautiful rural Norfolk/Suffolk border setting

I attended the 2-day workshop with my teenage daughter and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Both of us love crafts, but had little experience of sculpting, however Jo takes you through each stage so well, that no prior experience is needed. The days were really packed and you get great value for money on this course,...
