Ruth Cory reviewed: Pembrokeshire slate mosaics with Wild Slate Workshops - Inspired by coast, land and legend

"I absolutely loved this course. The teaching was excellent, everything was explained so clearly, and Niki guided us through a completely new craft with confidence and warmth. There was a perfect balance between instruction and giving us the freedom to work at our own pace, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. Using locally sourced slate and natural materials from Pembrokeshire made the mosaics feel really special, and I came away with two pieces I’m genuinely proud of. I’d definitely recommend this workshop to anyone interested in trying something creative, whether you're a beginner or have some experience. A wonderful course in a beautiful setting."

Wild Slate Workshops responded:

"Thank you Ruth for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure to have you in the group and your calm, considered approach was great to see. You really embraced the beauty of slate and produced two very pleasing mosaics. "

"A truly satisfying and rewarding workshop experience! Working with slate to create textured landscapes and patterns made me feel genuinely connected to Wales and its natural materials. The workshop had everything you could possibly need, and Niki’s guidance was brilliant—so thoughtful and well planned. I left feeling inspired and already wanting to do it again!"

"Thank you Lola, it was genuinely a pleasure having you in the workshop and you developed your ideas with a real eye for texture and detail.

Lara Morgan reviewed: Pembrokeshire slate mosaics with Wild Slate Workshops - Inspired by coast, land and legend

"A really wonderful experience learning a new craft - Niki helped me to go from absolutely no experience of working with slate or creating mosaics, to taking home two beautiful pieces made with materials that really speak of our locality. I almost can't believe these were made by me! All of the techniques are explained really well, Niki is helpful without being overbearing and all the tools you need are supplied, without it being too overwhelming. It was a really great day and I'm so pleased that I chose to do this workshop, highly recommended"

Wild Slate Workshops responded:

"Thank you Lara for such a lovely review. It was a pleasure having you at the workshop. Your enthusiasm, enjoyment, and appreciation were clear to see and you made two mosaics that attracted so many positive comments from the other participants. "
