Eleanor Hunter reviewed: 1 day mosaic class with Claire Cotterill Mosaics @Martineau Gardens, Birmingham

"I attended the one day course with no previous experience and had an amazing day. Claire was friendly and supportive and it was a very relaxing environment to be in. There was a wide range of colours to use and everyone's mosaics were beautiful and unique. It was lovely to take home a finished piece at the end of the day and I'm very happy with what I made and keen to do more. Our course was in the beautiful setting of the Martinau gardens and Claire provided a delicious lunch for us to share together. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in trying mosaics and I now feel confident to have a go on my own at home with the skills that I learnt. Thank you Claire for a wonderful day."

"I had a lovely day with Claire and my daughter on the 1-day mosaic course. There was plenty of help on-hand to support with creating the perfect design. I have a touch of arthritis and Claire was helpful in breaking tiles for me as my hands got tired later in the day. It's amazing how quickly it's possible to produce something beautiful, grouted and ready to take away! A great day."

"I received a voucher for the 1 day course for Christmas and was fortunate to spend the day with Claire and others on 22 June. I had some basic mosaic skills beforehand but attendees don't need them to be able to get a lot out of the course. A wide range of materials were available along with design resources to help you create your image. I set myself an ambitious target but was still able to complete in the given time. I now have a lovely piece that I have backed with felt and am using on my dining room table as a decorative plate. The day was made better yet by the location, which was Martineau Gardens in Edgbaston. The weather was glorious and we were able to sit outside in the sun to work and enjoy a freshly prepared lunch made by Claire. All in all this was a really enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone wanting to try their hand at mosaicing."

jack jennings reviewed: Intensive 2 day mosaic course with Claire Cotterill in Moseley, Birmingham

"On my many trips to Scotland I visited many interesting sites displaying mosaic art work and decided I would like to have a go and booked on a course with Claire Cotterill. As a beginner the two day course was a superb introduction to mosaic making and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The course was run in a relaxed manner by Claire who is a very talented artist/teacher and I highly recommend this course. Thank you Claire and for the excellent food."
