Maker's bio

Hi! I'm Debbie and after many years teaching arts and crafts at adult education centres across Manchester, in 2006 I became a full time artist and creative facilitator. I have created mosaic commissions - from pet portraits, a private garden mural, through to a 196 sq ft community mosaic mural, to my latest commission - a 1.6 m high fibreglass wallaby, for the Wild in Art and Hospice IOM art trail. I now work from my quaint studio, surrounded by gorgeous Manx countryside, in the Isle of Man.

Jane Wilson reviewed: Encaustic Painting (ancient and traditional techniques) on the Isle of Man

"I spent a fabulous day with Debbie learning all the techniques for encaustic painting. Her passion & expertise for her art was inspiring, opening up a new direction for my own creative journey to go in......"

Isle Be Creative responded:

"Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing my passion for this amazing art technique with you. I was really impressed with your ideas and beautiful work. I can see you have caught the ‘encaustic bug’- keep it up! Xx"

Carol Southerd reviewed: Weekend mosaic retreat - direct method

"Really enjoyed the course. Learned such a lot from Debra while working on my own project. There were 4 of us beginners attending. Each working on very different pieces. This maximised the learning opportunities as we benefitted from each others' work and Debra's advice on specific techniques. Time flew. Lovely food. Great company and beautiful surroundings. What more could you want?"

Mary Allison reviewed: Traditional Mosaic - Smalti

"I recently did the Mosaic for the Garden course, which was fantastic. Debbie provided lots of encouragement and ideas whilst letting us choose our own thing to design and create. The studio is very well kitted out and the small group numbers meant we all got lots of personal attention when needed. I enjoyed the session so much I hope to go back in the near future for another go."
