Make mosaic eggs and crosses

We have been enjoying making these little mosaic beauties to celebrate Easter  (mummy has been using her two little ones as guinea pigs for the workshop that I am running at St. Paul’s Cathedral this week!).  I feel very excited to be running a workshop for children in this amazing place (which is filled with […] Read more...

Paper mosaic heart (or whatever takes your fancy!)

More community mosaics in the making…

What a lovely group of people to be working with – mostly mums and little ones (who spread cement on the pavers with great enthusiasm!). These six large (60 x 60) pavers are being transformed into mini beasts to […] Read more...

The second issue of the gorgeous new Stampington Press magazine, Create With Me, landed with a thud (its thick and luscious!) on my doormat yesterday with enclosed cover note… It’s always a magical moment seeing your work in the mass media (it is hitting the newstands in the USA any day now) and it was […] Read more...
