"I had the most amazing day today. I learnt so much and took home a piece of work that I can’t believe I made, under the expert guidance of Maddie. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge. It was lovely to spend the day chatting as we worked. I would highly recommend a day with Maddie, she made me feel completely at ease and let me work at my own pace. An amazing studio full of colour and textures to inspire. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to return."

"I went to a half day workshop with my 2 daughters. A new experience for us and a thoroughly enjoyable one. Maddie is a lovely lady, great teacher with a wealth of knowledge and with her guidance and enthusiasm, we all achieved more than we hoped for. It was a great fun day, really absorbing and therapeutic. I'd thoroughly recommend going to one of Maddie's workshops to anyone who wants to try something different as well as those who want to improve their skills. I'll definitely be back to do more!"

"Have recently spent a full day mosaic workshop with Maddie. Was very impressed with the studio facilities. With plenty of input from Maddie I felt confident about using all the materials provided and there was lots of inspiration that helped me to see what was possible. I was able to have access to a wide variety of materials which enabled me to work out my ideas without limitation. Would thoroughly recommend these courses for beginners to those who are more advanced. There is always something to learn whatever your ability and Maddie has all the skills and knowledge to enable you to achieve your goals and work through your initial ideas and make a completed project."

The workshop is a beautiful space in a beautiful place and is full of inspirational pieces of art. Maddie shares her knowledge and love of mosaics generously and is a very warm and friendly person with an encouraging teaching style. Don’t delay , book a mosaics workshop today ?. You won’t regret it!"

"Thank you Maddie for running such an excellent class! Maddie facilitated 2 sessions of Creative Tuesday for Span Arts where students were able to make 2 pieces of mosaic. The classes were extremely popular and everyone rated them highly. Maddie is LOVELY! She's very skilled, good at teaching and extremely humorous. She is able to manage a group of mixed abilities well and encourages everyone to work at their own level. It definitely didn't feel too hard or too dumbed down. I will absolutely be recommending this class to others! Thanks."

"I received a mosaic class with Maddie as a birthday surprise and I loved it!! It was the most wonderful day in her workshop. The log fire was going, snow starting to fall and Maddie being such a brilliant teacher. She gave us a quick starter class before allowing us to have a hands on experience making our very own mosaic with access to her beautiful tiles. I would highly recommend to everyone - all ages, men and women. It's such a creative thrill when you have your very own piece of hand made art at the end of it. Thank you Maddie for giving me such a great birthday present it was just perfect!"

"I was so happy to learn that Maddie Janes was coming to Jersey for one of her Mosaic workshops. I couldn't wait to meet and learn from her. The workshop was extremely fun and had a very relaxed atmosphere but most importantly, it was very educational. Maddie gave me some great tips and taught me to master some new techniques. She provided a lovely variety of materials which got all the creative juices flowing. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and my only problem was that the time went too fast... Maddie's workshop was fabulous and would recommend this to anyone who loves creativity or is looking for something inspirational to do."

"We spent a whole day with Maddie, working on a table top design. We were both novices and came away feeling very enthused and confident about how to take our project forward. Maddie is an excellent teacher, very patient and very helpful. We had a great day, learning about mosaics, practising how to do it, firming up plans for our project and getting started on it. The time went by very quickly, and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We learnt a huge amount in a small time and Maddie was able to supply us with the materials we needed. We couldn't have asked for more. Thanks for a great day Maddie and for your subsequent help."

"What a wonderful way to spend a day! I was an absolute beginner and Maddie provided an excellent introduction to the techniques needed- I came away with a piece I was proud of ! The studio is beautiful and the works on display are an inspiration. Maddie is an excellent teacher- explaining and offering advice whilst assuring you that each piece is as individual as the person creating it. I will certainly be going back for another project!"
