Giulia is hugely knowledgable and experienced, a real expert in her field who is able to transmit her passion for the craft and the range of techniques clearly and with great enthusiasm. Her beautiful studio is well-equipped with everything you need to make your own piece of mosaic. Time really flew by as we drew out our designs, learned how to cut and arrange tiles and then mix concrete to assemble the final framed work. I particularly loved selecting the colours of beautiful tiles for my design, and seeing the 'big reveal' as the piece is refined and completed. Giulia is really encouraging and was on hand to help with the inevitable challenges that arise when learning new skills. I've always admired mosaic- from Roman to Victorian examples, so it was fascinating to hear about how they are made and gain insight into the skills of the mosaicist. I was extremely proud to bring home my finished work and explain all the techniques i had learned in just one day.

It was quite a long day but she made it really fun, and gave each of us lots of individual advice and help. She also had a great playlist of music while we were tiling away. We have a new found appreciation of mosaics and are really proud of ours!
SteveReally great day with an excellent teacher. Thanks Giulia!
AngusAmazing experience! Giulia is lovely, very patient and knowledgeable. Mosaic is harder than it looks but we all managed to finish our pieces in the end, they looked lovely for first timers, and now I am looking forward to my next class of the Indirect Technique. Recommended!
FernandaGiulia was concise with her explanations, which allowed us to get started fast without being overwhelmed by the information. When we got stuck in a technical issue or artistic design she happily provided us with options in order to find a exit route.
GulceI booked the workshop for my mum’s birthday and we had such a lovely day. It was great to have a selection of designs to choose from and and inspire us for our pieces and Guilia did a great job of explaining what to do and helping throughout the day. Fab selection of coloured tiles to choose from too. We were very chuffed with the pieces we created. Thank you Guilia!
Helen KingSuch a great day. Giulia's studio is a lovely space in Central London and the pace of the workshop was just right. She was so helpful and it was fun to get an insight into her work
Zarina KhanGuilia clearly explained how to use the tools and create an amazing mosaic! I didn't believe I could do it but was really impressed with the result. The day was very relaxed and informal; the venue light and airy and all in all a very enjoyable day.
CarolWhat a great course. I had tried some mosaicing before, but I learned so much about how to work out the design, how to cut and position the tiles, how to achieve a good finish. It was a great day and Giulia was super friendly - and an amazing artist. Thank you!
VickyHi It was a wonderful experience learning this new art with such a professional and experienced tutor. We had a great time and really appreciate Gulia’s staying late and helping us finish our art piece. Thanks Look forward to more wonderful classes with you. Aayushi and Nakul
nakulThe teacher was friendly and kindly offered tea which was in addition to the snacks provided. The class was fun and the morning flew by!
LaviniaGiulia was very warm and welcoming. She provided clear instructions and was very patient encouraging us to make the best mosaic we could. There was a beautiful array of mosaic tiles on offer to choose from. Refreshments were available and Giulia kept us going with regular tea and coffee. Her studio is bright and cheerful with lots of stunning examples of her work. The time passed so quickly. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and the company of Giulia and the other participant and highly recommend the one day direct method mosaic making course!

ToniA wonderful workshop guided by the talented Julia. Take some time out of reading chaos to trace a beautiful design, pick your colours and create a mosaic magic in a meditative tranquil setting. I will definitely be back xx
Emma-Jane HoughtonA wonderful workshop guided by the talented Julia. Take some time out of reading chaos to trace a beautiful design, pick your colours and create a mosaic magic in a meditative tranquil setting. I will definitely be back xx
Emma-Jane HoughtonThe 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.
HavvaIt was an informative and fun session which really makes you appreciate all parts of the design process. Highly recommend.
Dipti SoulIt was a great day, really relaxed and very calming. Giulia is a fantastic teacher.

Jessica DickensI was a complete beginner to mosaics and Giulia was a great teacher, patient and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed learning the technique and was very pleased with my finished piece.

Mimi KMy 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.
Daphne RobertsonI booked the Mosaic Workshop for my friends birthday. We both had a really enjoyable day. Giulia was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We were given clear instructions but allowed to experiment and be creative whilst knowing that Giulia was there so that we could ask any questions. The day was relaxing and very enjoyable. Thank you.

Sharon BedworthInteresting to know the difference between indirect and direct techniques. Also, it was fun to see how working with glass squares for the mosaic was tricker than the mattes square ones. Giulia was lovely and welcoming. She was great in giving advice as you worked on your piece. She was really informative and very accommodating. It was great to see her working on pieces whilst we worked. Provided tea/coffee/water and biscuits. The workshop was a lovely environment to work in. She also took pictures of us whilst we worked throughout the day- which was wonderful as we got pictures to remember the day along with the mosaic! Would definitely recommend the workshop.

Jenny GoodwinI had the most wonderful day. I'm a of a certain age and a rather nervous beginner and Giulia could not have been more patient, kind and helpful, I learnt so much. Complete bliss from start to finish
Jenny GGreat course - highly recommended - the half day flew by!!
AnonymousExcellent fun and we learnt a lot about the history of mosaics too, highly recommended!
DanA great fun day out, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Guilia. I learnt a lot too and came away with a real sense of achievement having completed my own mosaic panel! Guilia is an excellent teacher, very friendly, patient and experienced. The small class size results in a much more personal and flexible approach. The location near Holborn is great too. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone irrespective of their experience in mosaics (or none as in my case!) Have a go you will not regret it. Thank you very much Guilia!!
Jean WilliamsGiulia was a fantastic teacher and this course was absolutely brilliant. She very helpful and patient and I walked away with a beautiful mosaic that I was very proud to have made. I would 100% recommend this course!
Laura YearsleyMe and my mum had a great day at Giulia's lovely studio! Giulia was very welcoming and knowledgable. All materials were laid out and ready to go and there was a great selection of tiles and colours to choose from. Everything was explained clearly and the time flew bye as we saw our work come together piece by piece.The best moment is right at the end, grouting done and you're cleaning the tiles, the whole thing comes to life and the colours pop! Thanks for a great day, we're very happy with what we made!
GabrielleI had a great day at South London mosaic studio - I was really impressed with how much I had learnt in only 8 hours! Giulia was really supportive and encouraging in all stages of the course, and offered extra help when needed. The studio was well-equipped with the tools we needed to use to make our mosaic and the materials were of very high quality. Whilst we were cutting and laying out tiles, Giulia was telling us all about the origins of mosaic, different techniques and her personal work. Her knowledge and passion for mosaic is extensive and certainly made me want to continue learning more about the artform.
