Things to remember

All materials are provided. Think about a design idea for a mosaic sized 20x20 cm. This can be a pattern, simple shapes or a figure. We also have design templates available on the day, so there will be plenty of inspiration!

FAQs
Can I take my piece home with me at the end of the course?
Your mosaic will be quite fragile to take it home after the class, therefore it's recommended to collect it on another day. However, if that is not practical for you, please bring a box that fits a 20x20cm mosaic piece in order to safely take your work home on the same day.

Olesya Solilina - 30 December 2023
Alex was amazing! I truly enjoyed the Indirect Method 2 days course. Alex guided us through the entire process explaining what to do and how it works. The space is well organized with plenty of different tiles available. I had a lovely piece of mosaic made within these 2 days that I am very happy about. Thank you, Alex!
Rajan Ahuja - 30 December 2023
Had a great couple of day. Easy to find. Lovely people. Brill teacher. All laid back and good fun.
Paulina Dobrowolska - 27 November 2023
I really enjoyed the weekend with Alex exploring the indirect technique. She was very supportive and made sure what appeared difficult was actually a fun learning experience. Would definitely recommend!

Fiona Tan - 26 November 2023
Alex is amazing. Highly recommend her course.
Elena Luzhkova - 5 February 2023
My sister and I did a 2-day weekend introductory course learning the Indirect Method with Alex. We had a great time and really enjoyed making beautiful images using tiles. Our teacher was patient and lovely, it is very clear she has a great passion for the craft, and guided us effortlessly in making our own mosaics. The location is great and so is the studio, would highly recommend!
Octavia Kingsley - 5 October 2022
Loved the intro course to indirect method. Great support and information, I came away with a lot of ideas and knowledge, as well as a completed tile. It was a lot to do in two days and the teacher was very supportive about our speed and any help we needed to finish.
Shikha Jakhar - 31 May 2022
Alex is such an amazing teacher....got to know the basics of mosaic making and it was super fun.
Ann OKelly - 31 May 2022
Really enjoyed the class. Our Excellent tutor created a good atmosphere among the learners while giving individual attention. This course ‘indirect method’ could benefit from having, perhaps, an extra 2-3 hours of tuition time. Thank you for a very enjoyable course.
Cynthia Alentorn - 29 November 2021
I enjoy the course Mosaic indirect method very much. Alex is very knowledgeable and explains very well how to use the tools, cut the tiles , andamentos and the whole process of making the mosaic with this method. I strongly recommend it.
Philippa Matthews - 28 November 2021
Lots and lots learned, and a really good way to spend a cold weekend: thank you Alex!
Solomon Brons - 28 November 2021
I would say 10 out of 10 if i could, whole experience was very cool. Alex is a great teacher, very nurturing and patient. I really responded to her clear teaching style. would highly recommend to anyone!
Ginni - 10 September 2019
Small, friendly group and knowledgable tutor who was able to bring out the best from each student whatever their previous experience. I was already familiar with the direct method so it was interesting to try indirect method. On balance I prefer direct but the tips and techniques I learned are useful for both and the mosaics I make at home have improved as a result of what I learned.
