Really enjoyed my mosaic taster session. Lots of choice and really helpful guidance meant that I left with a mosaic that I’m really happy with. The session was run alongside the longer 5 or 10 week classes so was nice to see what is achievable with a bit more time/expertise.

The class was relaxed and I feel that I received a perfect amount of direction - not helicopter teaching but there was help if needed. I'm pleased with my tile!

This was a fantastic workshop for me, a complete beginner! The teacher was great, really enthusiastic and interested in what we were making. The environment was relaxed and welcoming. I learned a lot of valuable techniques and skills in a really short amount of time. Highly recommend to anyone interested in making their own mosaic tile.

My friend and I really enjoyed the workshop. The teacher was great, really enthusiastic and interested in what we were making. She was kind enough to stay back an extra 30-40 minutes after the class, so that we could complete our mosaic tile. I will definitely recommend this class! 5 star from me!

An excellent class where I made two mosaic tiles. There in an amazing array of glass and ceramics to cut and make your design. I haven't got round to grouting them yet but am confident that I will achieve a great result.

This class was my introduction to Mosaic and I can say that it was more than I expected. Studio is wonderful and easy to find. In the studio there were thoughtful snacks and drinks. I very much enjoyed making mosaic and the class was quiet therapeutic. I will be back and I will be recommending this class to others.

Wonderful class! There were so much ceramic and glass tiles to choose from and the teacher was lovely. Remember to bring a simple design in mind ahead of the class so you can get started straight away.

Really enjoyed the class. They had so many different tile options to choose from. The size of class was good as it gave the teacher enough time to give guidance and helpful suggestions to each individual. I would have gotten more done if I had an idea of what I wanted to create before the class. Time flies when you’re having fun!

I enjoyed so much coming every Thursday to hang out with the group and to discover the artsy part of me that I never though I had on me. So, yes, I'd recommend it to anyone!

Good intro to cutting tiles and glass, and flexible approach from the tutors, who are artists so have a hood eye for creating stuff. The only thing I think they missed was safety info; they seemed to not be very into the idea of people wearing protective glasses and didn't let anyone know where the first aid kit was; a few people had minor cuts and I felt they were slightly too relaxed about the health and safety aspects - there were no serious injuries but it would be really easy for a bit of glass shoots into someones eye in this environment.

An absolutely wonderful experience all round. A fantastic environment, warm welcome and very well organised. Enough instruction to safely get started and proactive encouragement and help to ensure we all got a really nice result to take home. Materials were plentiful, the atmosphere was supportive and enthusiastic - I didn’t want to leave!100% recommend and also an very chuffed with my mosaic tile!

Great session. Learned how to cut tiles for mosaic making, and then had time to make own design on a tile, well supported by the teacher, and with plenty of colourful and beautiful resources available. Finished it at home - am so excited - it looks great ! Thanks for this experience !

Did the taster mosaic and tile making class and it was so much fun! Everyone was super friendly, the people doing the longer courses are also there and you get to see the cool stuff they have been doing which is quite encouraging.! Eli the teacher is a total vibe, making you feel comfortable to explore your creativity yet guiding you when needed without feeling like you’re an outcast as it’s your first time.
Thouroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back. Thank you!!

I really enjoyed this mosaic class. There was a friendly atmosphere and the session was well facilitated. It was my first time trying mosaic making but still managed to go home with a lovely handmade gift that I was really pleased with! It was a fun evening!

An enjoyable and supported first time mosaic experience. There is an abundance of materials to choose from and be creative with. Great to see the different projects being worked on in the class. I plan to return to complete a larger mosaic/tile project.

I really enjoyed the class, and I'm really pleased with the mosaic tile I made! The course leader was encouraging and helpful, with just the right amount of tuition to get us started. I was also able to use some shells I'd brought with me. I'd hoped to make a photo frame but a mosaic tile was the only option - I didn't mind, so I didn't feel the need to ask if we could make any other item. There were plenty of materials and colours available, with books for inspiration. It helped to have an idea of the colours and design I wanted to make beforehand. The glass of wine and snacks were a bonus and the venue is great. It's worth noting that there's not time to grout your design (and you'd want the glue to dry beforehand anyway) so you are given a little grouting kit to do it at home.

I enjoyed this class & love my mosaic tile. I was a bit rushed at the end but the tutor helped me finish my piece. At times could've done with a bit more direction. It was a lovely setting and so many bits of glass and ceramics to choose from and lots of inspiring pieces around the place!

Very clear instructions and you can get stuck in straight away. It was nice to walk away with a completed piece (you do have to grout the tile at home but this is quite straight forward). A glass of wine and some nibbles were provided which was a nice touch.

Great class and great discovery for this new hobby and/or passion. The Host was gave such a warm welcome and invited us to visit the venue.
They do such amazing projects there and I love that I pushed myself to discover all this new world.
I already a book a class for next week and invited a firend of mine to share this experience and thinking to start a proper course in September.
They also organize birthday, Hen parties.. and so may diversified activities.
I would definitely recommend to anyone!

The class was very good! I learnt how to cut tiles, plan a design and then glue the tiles together. I got a kit to take home and grout my piece with, then it’s all ready! I wish there was a continuation class!

The class was a great chance to enjoy a creative evening in an informal setting. The Tuesday evening time and location were also ideal for a post-work crafting session. A brief explanation on cutting and mosaic-ing was given, and we were then free to design and create the mosaic tile as we wished.

I booked this class with a work friend and we went in totally open minded with no expectations. We were welcomed so warmly (on a freezing cold Thurs evening) by Natalie who was super friendly and offered us some drinks while we settled into our space. The introduction was so informing, easy-to-grasp and perfectly timed. We were able to get stuck in right away which was great! Natty explained the use of the tools and different types of tiles very well while reminding us of safety. We worked on creating different shapes and she assisted each one of us individually when we got stuck (which was often) and totally made us at ease when we got frustrated trying to get it right. We got to design our own tile with mosaic using our own ideas. Natty was so sweet to stay behind way past the finishing time to let us complete our mosaic and she helped us complete it to ensure we left with a complete piece as well as giving us the grout to fill in at home with full instructions. Hands down I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have a bit of fun while doing something relaxing especially after a long day at work... 11 out of 10 from me!

What a great set-up! I went with a friend to the one off evening workshop. We have both come away with beautiful tiles. You are supplied with a glass of wine or a soft drink for the evening and the choice of decorative chips to break up and decorate your tile with is huge. Really loved it.

Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely glass of wine, snacks and the opportunity to explore books/mosaics to get ideas before making our own. We were able to practise, so that we felt confident when coming to mosaic our own tile.

Well worth the money.
We were given complete freedom in the studio the use anything we wanted and make anything we wanted. Lovely experience and cannot recommend it enough. It is about enough time to make two items or one really detailed item

The class was sublime! This was my first experience of mosaics and there were others there who had been before and were working on their pieces. Natty, our tutor, was patient, knowledgable, very encouraging and had great snacks! The workshop was a veritable feast for the eyes with plenty of inspiration from the many mosaics displayed and the seemingly never ending supply of tiles in every single colour you could imagine. Natty’s instructions were easy to follow and she was on hand all the time. She has great energy. I came away with my own masterpiece. A great class pitched perfectly for all abilities.

I did a one off class during the evening (6.30pm - 9.00pm) and really enjoyed the class.
The teacher (Aliya) was absolutely lovely. Friendly, patient and really encouraging. The first half hour was spent practising using the cutters and how to space, and then she let us get on with our designs.
There were a few people who had been there before and were working on bigger, more intricate pieces too.
Everyone looked really happy and it was a great way to spend an evening. I was absolutely delighted with how my creation turned out.
Art4Space was very generous with what tiles and tools you can use, and there were even refreshments on offer.
Would thoroughly recommend!
