Lin Wilton reviewed: Evening Mosaics Taster near Exeter, Devon

"Denny was extremely helpful from fitting in an extra person very last minute to giving us instruction and advice to enable us as total beginners to complete pieces of work. We were given access to lots of materials and encouragement to learn to use new tools so each of us got the most out of this course. It was a fun and enjoyable way to spend a few hours and we all came away full of delicious cake and very pleased with our own works of art. Thank you Denny we will be back. Lin"

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you Lin - a lovely review 🤗. So pleased you all enjoyed your first mosaic experience. I look forward to seeing you again soon for more mosaic’ing. Best wishes Denny"

Nina Smith reviewed: Evening Mosaics Taster near Exeter, Devon

"Attended the taster session with some friends and I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Denny is so welcoming and explains everything clearly. I always thought mosaics was just tile, but you can use pretty much anything, it opens up so many possibilities. Thank you for a great evening x "

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you Nina for such a lovely review - delighted you enjoyed the taster and feel positive about doing more. As you rightly say there are endless possibilities. Hope to see you again some time. Denny x"

"Really enjoyed the course with Denny last night was a bit like a rabbit in headlights to start with, but she was very encouraging helping everybody out and really had some inspirational ideas. I would definitely recommend this to anybody wanting to have a go at Mosaics the refreshments were also very yummy. I will be back again."

"Hi Helen I think your review was the fastest yet - thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed yourself and settled into it despite the initial 'headlights' moment! You all did really well and completed your pieces - don't forget to send a photo once you've grouted them. Hopefully see you (all) again some time. Kind regards Denny"

Liz Morphew reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"A lovely way to spend a Saturday. The space is inviting with lots of examples of Denni’s work to inspire you, although Denny is inspirational enough to give you a very informative introduction to working on mosaics and the endless possibilities of working this way . "

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you Liz for your kind words. I do hope you carry on mosaic’ing at home and maybe come along to another workshop to learn some more. Best wishes - Denny"

Penny reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"Denny's one day beginners' mosaic course was a really valuable experience. Denny herself was very welcoming, helpful and encouraging. Cutting tiles is tricky so don't be over-ambitious as practising this single skill is very useful. Denny generously offers the use of a wide variety of mosaic material, doesn't impose ideas but gently guides. It was, for me, an ideal day for a complete novice. "

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you Penny - your comments are much appreciated. It’s very gratifying to know the day was ideal for a beginner. Hope to see you again soon. Best wishes - Denny. "

Judith reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"I went with Catherine to the above workshop - Christmas present from Catherine to me! It was such an enjoyable day. We learnt lots, had fun mosaic-ing - it's completely absorbing - and we're quite impressed with the results of our efforts 🙂. Denny welcomed us warmly, the atmosphere throughout the day was calm and relaxing - and we were treated to homemade cakes - twice!! - which were utterly delicious! I thoroughly recommend this workshop, it would be impossible not to enjoy it. We loved it 😊, thank you Denny."

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you Judith. So glad you enjoyed the day and you found it relaxing and were happy with what you created. Come again soon! X"

Catherine reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"We had an absolutely fantastic day on Denny's beginner's workshop. Everything was perfectly organised and we had so much fun creating our 2 pieces with Denny's help and kind encouragement. We were both very impressed and proud with how much we were able to achieve despite being complete beginners. The day was made even better by the delicious homemade cakes and the presence of lovely Daisy the dog! Thank you so much Denny, we had a really wonderful day."

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Hi Catherine Thank you so much for your lovely review - I’m glad you and your Mum enjoyed the day and were happy with your mosaics. I very much enjoyed meeting you two too and hope to see you again here or over your way. Best wishes Denny"

Frances Swallow reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"What a wonderful way to get back into mosaic making with Denny. The most amazing, patient and creative teacher. Thank you Denny for being so inspirational, I can’t wait to start my own projects. Cakes were excellent too. Loved every moment of the Saturday workshop session in the comfortable studio surrounded by your beautiful creations Denny. One day, I may hopefully be only a fraction as creative as you. Long may you continue to inspire us. "

"You are met by Denny with coffee and home made cake. Delicious. You first do a sample to get a feel for it. Then on to your project. Denny is an amazing tutor. Patient, informative and helpful. She never rushed you or made you feel under pressure. We had an amazing day and can't wait to do it again. Thanks Denny x"

Gillian Beecham reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"Excellent course, teaching, location and cakes. We all enjoyed the day very much, learned a lot of basics and came away with masterpieces of our own. Also a determination to learn more and attend another course later this year. Highly recommended."

Rachel and Shane reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"We had the best day doing this workshop!! Denny is an amazing teacher and host, and makes excellent vegan gluten free fudge cake too! :-) Everything was so well explained and we got to practice cutting and laying our tiles (and grouting our artwork when the glue was dry) by making coasters before starting our main pieces. It was a really relaxing time; we found mosaic-ing to be a very calming, mindful activity! We got comprehensive notes to take home, plus some extra materials so we could finish off our pieces at home - we’re already looking online to order our own tools and tiles to create more mosaics! We also loved meeting beautiful Daisy the dog. Highly recommend this course!"

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you, Rachel, that is such a lovely review! And thank you for being so speedy with it. It’s always good to know you’ve enjoyed your day with me and that it’s inspired you to do more mosaic’ing. Hope to see you and Shane again .. and don’t forget to send photos of your finished pieces. X"

Molly Palmer reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"Denny was so patient and gave excellent advice, the course was well lead and I felt in great company! I of course have to mention the lemon drizzle, which was so good I had 2 slices! 🍋 I feel very happy with my coaster and framed piece, and will definitely be back again! "

MosaicXandMe responded:

"Thank you, Molly, for this lovely review. I’m so glad you’re happy with your creations … and loved the cake. With all the cake mentions I get I’m beginning to think I should change my name to MosaicxCakeAndMe!!!"

Rachel Wakley reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"Absolutely fantastic, I loved every minute and learned more than enough to get me started to make some of my own pieces. Denni was so patient and knowledgeable and you couldn't help but be inspired by her many amazing pieces around the house, my mind was an explosion of ideas for that day and for the future. We were given very useful, comprehensive notes and some tiles to take away with us and Denni gave me couple of little bits I liked on the day too. The cake was delicious and ensured we took a couple of small breaks! Mosaicking is highly addictive, when you start you do not want to stop, that is definitely true! Such a good value course in every respect, I will go back to learn more, in the meantime, anyone reading this should just book a place on Denni's course, you will not be disappointed, it is the best money I have spent on something for myself. Enjoy!"

MosaicXandMe responded:

"I’m thrilled to read your review as I certainly get the impression you enjoyed your day! It makes it all worth while to learn you want to do more too. Thank you so much, Rachel. In fact I think it’s the best review I’ve had and one I should frame 🤗👍! I hope to see you again sometime at another workshop. Denny x"

Mairi Whiting reviewed: Beginners Mosaics Workshops near Exeter, Devon

"My friend Rebecca and I had a wonderful day at the Beginners Mosaic Workshop and came away with two surprisingly professional looking pieces....a practice coaster and individual wall art in a frame. We were both delighted! Denny is warm, friendly and calm. She immediately put us at ease and treated us to a very informative day. She has a huge variety of materials to choose from and we left with skills and confidence to have another go at mosaic at home. The tea/coffee and home made cake was a bonus! Thank you so much Denny for a very enjoyable and memorable day. "

MosaicXandMe responded:

"A lovely review, thank you Mairi. So glad you enjoyed the day and were pleased with your creations - they did look great! I enjoyed the day too - you were great students. P Hope to see you again at another workshop. "
