Karen E reviewed: Creative Mosaic Making in-a-Day!

"I had a fantastic day stepping into the world of mosaics for the first time and felt very welcomed by Lisa-Marie (including the tasty fresh baked lemon cakes!). Clear instructions on what to do and help at hand if needed for advice or creative ideas. Lovely small group setting with tea and mosaics made the perfect weekend activity. I was pretty chuffed with how my garden been came out too! Thank you, I'll be coming to another soon! "

Jade reviewed: Creative Mosaic Making in-a-Day!

"Such a lovely day creating mosaic art with lovely people. An unbelievable wide variety of materials and colours to use and you are encouraged to create any artwork you want. Useful tips and guidance throughout from Lisa-Marie, and some much appreciated help cutting glass when I thought I’d taken on a task too big and wouldn’t finish in time. Would definitely attend again"

Creative Avenue York responded:

"Thankyou for your kind words Jade. It's a pleasure to share my hoard of lovely materials and see them become part of someone's artwork. I'm so glad you stuck with your vision and took the time to place all of those tiny pieces to create your Van Gogh masterpiece! Regards, Lisa-marie"

Creative Avenue York responded:

"It's lovely to hear that other people enjoy my studio space and my hoard of arty bits 'n' pieces! It was lovely to meet you both. I'm so pleased you could put your pottery finds to good use and create a mosaic with them. I look forward to creating with you both again sometime. Regards, Lisa-marie"

Sonia reviewed: Creative Mosaic Making in-a-Day!

"What a lovely day spent mindfully searching through Lisa-Marie’s extensive collection of mosaic tiles and broken crockery bits and bobs. Eventually got some glued down and created a lovely piece of work to take home, but really enjoyed the making process in itself. Lisa-Marie was very knowledgeable and gently guided us throughout the day.. A thoroughly lovely experience. Thank you! "

Creative Avenue York responded:

"So glad you both enjoyed the experience. The tile collecting and sorting is a very enjoyable part of the hobby. I hope you continue to mosaic with your little bits n pieces, it's always lovely when someone brings their own pieces to include. Look forward to seeing the final pieces! Regards, Lisa-marie"

Gemma B reviewed: Mosaic Bees

"Absolutely fantastic!!!! I booked this on a whim - my daughter loves birds so I thought it would be a fun mummy daughter date… I have to say this exceeded my expectations. We had the most wonderful time sorting through broken crockery oohing and aaaahhing at the patterns, sharing ideas, with each of us finding little gems in our ceramic stash that another person would enjoy. It’s the best thing I’ve done with my daughter, we enjoyed it so much we’re talking about buying our own tools and shopping charity shops for beautifully patterned plates together. Lisa is also a great host. I was amply caffeinated throughout and there were even home made buns. We’ll book onto this class again happily."

Creative Avenue York responded:

"Love this!! So pleased that I've tweaked your creative spark and you hope to pursue it. Hunting for bits and pieces and hoarding them is also part of the hobby! Look forward to creating with you again. Lisa-marie."
