Reviews for Tracey Cartledge Artist

The course was a delight from start to finish. I received clear, comprehensive joining information. Being encouraged to consider my design prior to the course was so useful because, on the day, I could then concentrate on absorbing information.
Step by step Tracey walked us through the process of making mosaic. We had the opportunity to create a small piece of work, to experience shaping different types of tile, before moving on to the plant pot. The pace of the day was just perfect. Information flowed. Tracey's studio space is naturally conducive to exploring the medium with an array of mosaic material on offer. Safe ways of working were all covered. Each 'workstation' was laid out with everything we'd need. I didn't complete my piece on the day, but was sent home with all the materials I'd need to successful finish (grout, adhesive, tiles). Tracey generously encourages finding joy with the material. It was a beautiful, memorable, creative day.

On Saturday I attended the introduction to mosaics day workshop. Tracey’s friendly enthusiasm made the day thoroughly enjoyable. She explained and demonstrated the various techniques needed to complete a mosaic in different mediums and then offered help and advice as we practiced them. We then completed a small mosaic before starting on our main project this will be completed at home using the contents of the goody bag Tracey supplied.
The day and the studio was arranged in such a way that it felt very safe in view of the present COVID-19 restrictions.
The day exceeded my expectations and I felt pleased with what I had achieved and confident about successfully completing my project. Thank you Tracey for a great day

Was nervous but Tracey put you at ease. Very knowledgeable. Great start off project to make a decent size fridge mosaic and a more decorative piece which dried throughout the day, and with the time allotted allowed you were able to go back to and learn more quality knowledge about mosaics. Started a larger project as well.

You were given a goodie bag of materials to finish your project at home or if you live near come to her classes once a week.
Thoroughly enjoyed myself and going back for more!!

Tracey's introduction to Mosaic course was excellent. It was a relaxing and enjoyable day and I learnt a lot about how to do mosaic. There were 5 of us and Tracey, and after a general introduction, catered to the needs of each individual allowing us to develop our skills as we wished.
I was keen to learn how to cut and shape tiles and felt I could do this with confidence by the end of the day. I also had completed a mini mosaic to learn the whole process and I had started on a project to take home with a goody bag of the materials to complete it with.

She was extremely friendly and helpful and created a lovely atmosphere. I would thoroughly recommend this course if you want to start doing mosaic.

I recently took part in a glass appliqué class, making a Mandela Mosaic, glass on glass. I really enjoyed my day and was very happy with it. I have some experience cutting glass, but learnt several new cutting tips that will be very useful. We also experimented with different glues, discussed design and grouting. I found Tracey's experience of mosaic and Caroline's experience of stained glass to be a very good combination of skills. Both were very friendly and knowledgeable, both very approachable. The workshop was well-organised too. No complaints. Very happy.
