Since then, I have been beavering away, writing, in between commissions, real-time courses, parenting and running a household (hence the slow progress!). In the midst of this, there has been a hard drive failure (ugh!) putting a spanner in the works of this huge process.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, writing has always been one of my passions and I\u00a0 have been relishing getting into <em>that<\/em> zone whilst writing these exciting e-courses! As some of you may know, I am also researching the link between art making, meditative practices and neuroscience (see<a href=\"https:\/\/glitteringshards.com\/blog\/art-neuroscience\/\" target=\"_blank\"> here<\/a>), to understand more deeply how art-making can bring about positive brain change and increase well-being.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19 aligncenter\" alt=\"Learn mosaics online\" src=\"https:\/\/glitteringshards.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/cropped-DSCF3667.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"120\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All these passions are finally coming together in a <em>soon-to-be-available<\/em> range of :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>free<\/strong>, <strong>downloadable PDF info sheets<\/strong> on topics related to mosaics, art and mindfulness practice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>e-courses<\/strong> that will allow you to delve into <em>basic<\/em> and <em>advanced mosaics<\/em>, the use of <em>mosaic and creative arts as a tool for reflection and transformation<\/em>, all in a creative, easy-to-follow course structure. My e-courses will include lots of video and photos and will be available for you to take at your own time and pace, wherever you are in the world!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want to know when registration for the e-courses opens and when free PDF info sheets are added, please sign up to the Glittering Shards Online Learning list below.
