I really enjoyed the experience - as I needed to remember how to work with mosaics again. It was a pleasure to work with Guilia who helped and guided me. Having a small group was also good and everyone was very friendly. Many thanks - I will certainly recommend you to friends.

Gorgeous workshop and excellently led by the teacher. Loads of tiles to choose from and help and support given whenever needed. Would definitely recommend!

We loved our class at South London Mosaic. The equipment was good quality, the studio space was cute and cosy, the teacher was very experienced and helped us when needed. Our only complaint was that we felt rushed to finish our mosaic projects quickly. We booked onto a 4 hour class and after 2.5 hours the teacher made a few comments that made us feel like she wanted us to hurry up and leave. We would’ve preferred to stay the full 4 hours and perhaps have time to make a second mosaic project!

We loved our workshop at South London Mosaic. Giulia is a total expert and talked us through the steps very clearly, but also left us to enjoy the process! We were both so happy with the finished product and loved learning a new skill. The perfect birthday present!

Clear and supportive Giulia was able to teach valuable skills and tell the story of how mosaics come to be. She gave us time to work but came by every so often to give practical tips and next steps. It was a really enjoyable, meditative experience.

I had a wonderful time. Giulia leads a lovely class and any time spent in her studio is time well spent.
Havva - 28 January 2022
The half day workshop was fantastic! Giulia gave us a brief introduction to mosaics and the tools and materials we could use. There was plenty of colours of tiles (both ceramic and glass) to chose from, and the templates of the designs she prepared in advance made it very easy to make a start. Having made a coaster in 4 hours as a complete beginner was very fulfiling. She was very helpful throughout, being hands-on when we had any difficulties, but otherwise gave us space to make the mosaic the way we wanted. I'd highly recommend it.
Elyza - 19 December 2021
Thank you Giulia for the great mosaic class. I found you to be a good teacher for all the primary skills necessary for mosaic work and I am VERY pleased with my sweet little work of art!
Daphne Robertson - 27 October 2021
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed attending the Mosaic Workshop. We hadn't realised just how much physical effor and concentration are needed to produce mosaics and we are very pleased with our efforts! Guilia was very informative, helpful and patient. Thank for a very interesting session.
