You know you are a mosaic artist when you find bits of broken tile in your clothes at night… You know you are a mosaic artist when, on an evening out, you realise that you still have cement under your finger nails… You know you are a mosaic artist when you buy a plate with […] Read more...
Paper mosaic heart (or whatever takes your fancy!)
Paper mosaic making is a great activity for children and grown-up’s alike. I just did it with a group of 30 adults at Crafty Pint (crafts in a London pub, no less!) and it was great seeing how absorbed people got making this. Here they are in action… Whilst it seems pretty obvious how to […] Read more...
Inspiring women create community mosaic exhibition
I have just finished a wonderful 4 week series of mosaic workshops, teaching a group of total beginners, in the “jump straight in and mosaic” method! Each person designed their own mosaic and got straight to smashing and sticking! And in four 2 hour sessions, didn’t they do well? Here are some pics of the […] Read more...
Mosaic making galore…
Life (and blogging) has been interrupted somewhat by our kitchen-dining room (where we spend most our time) being out of use for two weeks, at one point with no floor! Despite it all, here’s been a lot of making going on – have a peek… Isabella’s butterfly slowly emerging… …and Toby’s Toucan! Some little mosaic […] Read more...

I made this mosaic mirror for my daughter 3 years ago. “Watch and see what I become…” The phrase came into my head out of nowhere, and then the image (perfect for a mirror, don’t you think?). She loves it so much (and so do I). Two more in a similar style emerged […] Read more...
Children’s bedroom mosaics
We were walking back from school a few weeks ago, discussing our plans for everyone in the house to move bedrooms – us back up into our lovely loft room, Isabella into our old room and Toby from his tiny box room to his big sister’s room. “Mummy, I want my bedroom to be like […] Read more...
Mosaic memories…
Ladies and gentlemen… …today is the launch of a brand new collective exhibition by 13 mosaic artists all living in South London. If you are nearby, consider yourselves in for a treat. If you are far (far) away, I will post a virtual exhibition this Sunday so you too can see this feast for […] Read more...
Topps Tiles Mosaic Award success!
Last Thursday was a little bit special. It was my usual mosaic drop-in class here in South London and two of my lovely regular students were here. Also visiting was a mosaic friend, Jane. We had met on a mosaic course 8 years ago and hadn’t seen each other for 7 years. It was on […] Read more...
Time for broken hearts…
At last, some time to make my mosaic hearts. I love these mosaic heart brooches and pendants, don’t tire of making them. They are high bling when worn (always a good thing in my book) and hold much meaning… Here’s how they look when done… …and here is my meaning behind making them. My heart […] Read more...
