"Just want to say how lovely the course was today, Rachel! My daughter Natalie gave it to me as a birthday present and did the course herself. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and love your mosaic art. It’s so wonderful you are sharing your methods and experience with others and spreading the love for mosaic art and the different ways of interpreting it. So inspirational! Thank you so much!"

"Thoroughly enjoyed this half day course. A great introduction to the joys of mosaic making. Rachel is a superb teacher, patient and also really helpful with design ideas and techniques to try. The time flew but we all completed a lovely slate tile, each beautiful and different from each other's. Highly recommend giving it a go!"

Kath Phipps reviewed: Making a mosaic with slate

"I did the full day course after trying a pendant mosaic workshop Rachel ran at Made In Stirling. She is a great tutor, giving you all the information and support you need, whilst also stepping back and leaving you the space to think about things and learn yourself. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and am over the moon with the mosaic I made, and several friends and relatives have been very impressed with it too! Totally recommend the course, whatever level of experience you have."

"We decided to do something different for a Christmas present, so we booked a slate mosaic workshop and we were not disappointed. Rachael was lovely, explaining the process and looking after us as we decided what to do. We all came away with a lovely mosaic and a sense of achievement. Would go back again."

Natalie McCall reviewed: Mosaic pendants for beginners

"I attended the workshop with a friend, and we both had a wonderful time. I can't remember the last time I lost myself so wholly in the 'flow' of creativity. Rachel was very intuitive at knowing when to offer advice and suggestions, and when to step back, she is a lovely facilitator. I'm very much looking forward to attending another workshop with her in the future. What a talented artist!"

Sandra Burt reviewed: Mosaic pendants for beginners

"I thoroughly enjoyed this mosaic pendant workshop. Rachel is an excellent teacher and after her initial instructions, she gave helpful suggestions to each individual student on their designs, as well as practical help with cutting when it was a bit tricky for a beginner. Being surrounded by displays of her own beautiful work was very inspiring. I was intrigued by the small scale of the work and loved the detail of the tiny pieces of glass and slate, and with so many lovely materials on offer it was difficult to choose! It was also interesting to see what the other students produced. I would not hesitate to recommend Rachel's class."

Liz O'Neill reviewed: Mosaic pendants for beginners

"I really enjoyed this workshop with Rachel who is so positive and enthusiastic about her craft. It was great to see the range of materials we could use, and to learn a bit about slate. Rachel's own work is beautiful...and it inspired us all in the class when we were working...with help and advice and encouragement from Rachel...on our own pendants. It was a relaxing, fun way to spend a Friday morning...with the added bonus of having produced two lovely pendants by the end of it! Would strongly recommend it."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the mosaic course. Rachel was a very generous tutor both with her materials and her knowledge. There was an amazing range of materials available to us, I could have spent the whole 3 hours just choosing nice pieces to use! Went home very happy with my mosaic and I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to try it."

Janice M Carlyle reviewed: Mosaic pendants for beginners

"Absolutely brilliant mosaic pendant workshop this morning with Rachel. I thoroughly enjoyed making the 2 pendants and I think they look amazing! Rachel was really great at showing us what to do, making suggestions, and keeping us right. She was also really efficient at keeping in touch about all the arrangements for the workshop - always replying to my e-mails really quickly. Rachel is a very talented mosaic-maker herself and it was lovely to see the things she has made. I would 100% recommend this workshop - it is a fantastic way to spend a morning."

Beth Threlfall reviewed: Making a mosaic with slate

"This was my first time working with mosaics, and I loved it - the slate is so beautiful and I had no idea there were so many varieties of it. The conservatory was a great place to be working in, with so much natural light, and Rachel is an excellent teacher and very informative and encouraging. I enjoyed the session a great deal and am sure I'll do more of this."

ken russell reviewed: Making a mosaic with slate

"Good workspace and nicely paced introduction to slate mosaic techniques. I thought the amount of information was spot on and also the unobtrusive help without forcing any ideas, so we were able to progress in our own way. I'm pleased with what I learned and actually made and I am keen to now tackle a larger piece on my own."
