Chris Hearson reviewed: Mosaic courses with Joy Sturgess, Scarborough, North Yorkshire

"I chose this course after seeing Joy's work on her website and I enjoyed everything- cutting and shaping the tiles, learning how to show form in mosaic and how colour works. The teaching and support given were excellent."

Shelly Smith reviewed: Mosaic courses with Joy Sturgess, Scarborough, North Yorkshire

"I learnt lots on this course- I like the idea of coming with my own idea and learning how to translate that idea into an achievable project- I made two small mosaic panels based on Shetland knitting patterns. The atmosphere was relaxed and I had a chance to ask about my specific interests and ideas, and to find out about other people's ideas. The course was an ideal length to complete a piece."

Amore Brison reviewed: Two day mosaic course with Joy Sturgess in Scarborough, North Yorkshire

"I chose this course because it was close to home and I have done mosaic before and wanted to learn a new technique- I learnt how to work on paper initially and also to take note of which way up to lay the tiles when working in reverse- I enjoyed the great level of individual support given. There is plenty of workspace and choice of materials, and lots of cuppas and biscuits! I am very pleased with the shell mosaic I made using the 'crazy paving' style of laying tiles."

Helen Edwards reviewed: Two day mosaic course with Joy Sturgess in Scarborough, North Yorkshire

"I was interested in this course having already done the direct method on one of Joy's courses. I also have wall areas and I think I would have to use the indirect method to cover. I learnt how to use different types of materials and sizes of tile together and also how to make a mosaic on paper initially. I made a 20cm x 20cm wall mosaic of a humming bird. I find Joy an excellent and very patient teacher, and really enjoyed the interaction with other students and the tutor with lots of different materials, everything provided in an airy comfortable work space. We had time to discuss next steps and other courses in mosaic we would enjoy- I do want to continue. I would like to learn more about the design process and working with found objects."
