Jodie Pritchard reviewed: Full day mosaic workshop for beginners - Meriden, West Midlands

"We had a great time on Saturday on the mosaics course with Anne. The studio was well equipped, warm and inviting with lots of inspirational pieces on display. Anne was really generous with her expertise and we were soon planning out our designs. All of Anne’s demonstrations were clear and easy to follow and we came away with pieces that we were really proud of. Thanks very much for making us so welcome, we will be back! "

"Had a great time at a half-day. The group size (5) allowed Ann to give us all support and guidance in creating our items and there was adequate time to make a few small pieces or one bigger one which was nice. The studio space was inviting and inspiring and there was a great selection available so you could really personalise your pieces depending on what you wanted to make."

Laura reviewed: Afternoon Christmas Mosaic Decorations Workshop 14.00-17.30

"Arrived at Anne’s fairytale cottage a little flustered and fragile after bickering with the sat nav and heavily pregnant. Felt welcomed instantly. Her mosaic work shop was a haven away from the hustle and bustle of Christmas prep life! A space of creativity, colour and warmth. She facilitated beautifully, adapting it to suit my intent to create a house number. She explained the process and demonstrated without imposing a particular “way” but offered enough guidance for experiment and discovery. Had some great chats , lovely chai tea and festive treats. I came away with a big smile and a product I really love! Highly recommend for those who want tranquillity away from everyday life and lots of laughs. "

"This is the third time I have been to Anne! What another fantastic and relaxing time had by all! Anne is so welcoming, knowledgeable and reassuring. She has built my confidence so much with an art form I had never done before and have such a bug for it now! Can’t wait to come again! "

"Great course. Excellent instruction in a very pleasant studio environment with lovely refreshments. Wide choice of bases available and a myriad choices of tiles, glass and crockery. Alison is extremely friendly and helpful, with printed information to take home and continue with the craft. She also told us about other fabulous mosaic examples to visit. I made an impressionist art piece I am very proud of. Everyone's projects looked professional and some made a second smaller piece. Highly recommended."

"What a fantastic day. Great location, Anne is a wonderful teacher, very helpful. It was great to achieve something that you didn’t even know you could do!! Will definitely try at home and hopefully be back for another class. Thanks Anne "

SALLY HENBEST reviewed: Full day mosaic workshop for beginners - Meriden, West Midlands

"The whole experience was delightful from start to finish. The success of the day stems from Anne's delightful teaching which was thorough, reassuring and warm. Also, her workshop, which is set in such an idyllic location, the friendly and informal lunch break and the chance to create something that I had always wanted to create. It is a shame that there is not enough time to grout your work, but I understand that this is not possible due to the need for the mosaic pieces to set. Anne provides all the necessary grout and advice on how to do this at home. My slight nervousness about doing this was overcome by the final outcome. "

"We had a fantastic day at Anne’s mosiac workshop. She was very helpful and gave us so many options of what we could do. With great knowledge of what could be achieved in a day. She helped where needed and gave encouragement and we came away with a lovely mosaic sign and flowerpot."

Helen reviewed: Morning Christmas Mosaic Decorations Workshop 09.30-13.00

"Really fantastic course. Anne gave us an introduction but left the design decisions up to us. We got to choose all sorts of things to decorate. 3 hours was enough to do some Christmas decorations or a pot. Highly recommended. "

L Baker reviewed: Full day mosaic workshop for beginners - Meriden, West Midlands

"Stunning setting for a relaxed day of mosaic creations. Anne is a wonderful teacher with patience and a great eye for colour, detail and style. As beginners, myself and two friends were guided expertly through the wonderful art that is mosaics. The choice of materials to use was tremendous, I have never seen so many tiles, baubles, crockery & glass pieces and the colours we could work with were too many to count. Anne kept us topped up with hot drinks, biscuits and delicious mince pie cakes. The day flowed flawlessly, at no stage did we feel overwhelmed with the work, Anne applied the perfect blend of coaching & teaching to support us all to complete our works. I would absolutely recommend this for a peaceful day of crafting in a stunning location. We will be going back. Thank you Anne"

Helen Corcoran reviewed: Half day mosaic workshop in the morning 09.30-13.00

"My friend and I attended a half day course. Anne made us really welcome and her studio is set in her lovely, peaceful garden. Anne shared her knowledge and skills with us and was on hand to advise or help, but allowed us to be creative and create our own mosaic pieces. Both my friend and I enjoyed it so much, that we are going to carry on making mosaics at home. Thank you Anne and we will be back again soon. Thoroughly recommend it for any age group. "

Flowerpot Mosaics responded:

"Thanks Helen, I am glad it’s inspired you to do more. It is really addictive! X"

Kim Docking reviewed: Full day mosaic workshop for beginners - Meriden, West Midlands

"What a perfect day ! From start to finish everything lived up to my expectations. The venue was a delight and Anne was a great hostess as well as a super teacher. Her love for mosaic was evident, both in the way she described the craft but also in her beautiful garden which was a true inspiration, as her mosaics were on show everywhere. We purchased the day as a birthday gift. It certainly came up trumps. A great way to enjoy the company of friends. We were all thrilled with our creations and I certainly feel inspired to pursue mosaics in the future. Thanks to Anne for making our day so special."

Kath Woolley reviewed: Full day mosaic workshop for beginners - Meriden, West Midlands

"I had a brilliant day. What a beautiful inspiring , peaceful country home. Ann was a wonderful host and i could not ask for a better motivational teacher. I learned far more than I expected , and came away with a great piece of mosaic. It was a very therapeutic day , and Ann should applaud herself for her great teaching methods, patience and generosity, as she let us stay much longer than expected . Ann went out of her way to make our day so special ! Most definitely will return."

Sophie reviewed: Full day mosaic workshop for beginners - Meriden, West Midlands

"My friend and I had a fabulous day at the workshop. Anne was incredibly welcoming and a brilliant teacher. We learnt so much about mosaics, including the how to, tricks and tips, and interesting facts. We were so happy with our finished pieces and I’ve already recommended the workshop to several friends and colleagues. I’d definitely like to attend a further workshop in the future."
