One Day Direct Method Mosaic Workshop

Gabrielle

Me 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!

Laura Yearsley

Giulia 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!

Sharon Bedworth

 I 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.

Mimi K

Enjoyed the experience very much. Giulia is a great teacher with a lovely personality. 

Christine

I 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.  I also had a chance to see some of Giulia's own mosaic work and was much impressed!  I would definitely recommend this class.

Louise

I booked on to a one day direct method mosaic workshop. Giulia was fantastic, so knowledgable and helpful and I came away with a completed mosaic square. A thoroughly enjoyable day and great to be working in an artist's studio. Thank you Giulia!

We created two mosaics on the day with Guilia who was really informative and patient. Our creativity has been stimulated and I am already making a little list of items to buy to take this up as a new hobby. 

Nicola 

Giulia was lovely and welcoming as soon as we stepped in the room! Very relaxing atmosphere and having decided to create my own template last minute, Giulia was able to accommodate me and was extremely helpful throughout the workshop. Highly recommend! 

Cliodhna

Giulia 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! 

Lavinia

The teacher was friendly and kindly offered tea which was in addition to the snacks provided.  The class was fun and the morning flew by!

Vicky

What 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! 

Carol

Guilia 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.

Zarina

Such 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

Helen King

I 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! 

Gulce

Giulia 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.

Fernanda

Amazing 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!

Angus

Really great day with an excellent teacher. Thanks Giulia!

Steve

Giulia was fantastic! We really enjoyed our day workshop for the Direct method of Mosaic! 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!

Ioanna Pantazopoulou

A fantastic workshop for anyone interested in mosaic. I really enjoyed the day and it went by very quick. Giulia is very friendly, always helpful and dedicates enough time to everyone throughout the day. Would definitely recommend

Taylor

This course was a fantastic (stress-free) introduction to mosaics. We had a great time and Giulia was a great teacher every step of the way. Can't recommend it enough!

Adele  Evans-Tomlinson 

Overall it was an enjoyable experience, it did feel a little rushed especially if it takes a while to get the hang of the technique. We would have like a bit more direction but it was very nice that there are 4 in the class

Aidan

This class is absolutely fantastic, great for beginners. Giulia is an excellent communicator, has lots of interesting information to share as you go through the day.
She is able to transfer the basic skills and enable you to come away feeling like you’ve accomplished something.

Once again, brilliant day to be a part of and Giulia is passionate and encouraging 

Begum  Komurcuoglu

Fiona Harrison

A truly terrific full day workshop. Great fun! 

Anna Mchugh

Had an excellent day, learnt a lot and completed a lovely tile.  Highly recommend.  Anna

elizabeth molinari

A wonderful class. Giulia is an excellent, patient teacher. Small group, plenty of time, very relaxing but also hard work! I highly recommend for learning the basics of mosaic making. 

Olivia Heyworth

Guilia was amazing, so patient and knowledgeable. It was such a wonderful mediative session, with an achievable task and a take away piece. Loved it!

Lili Le Bolloch-Brochen

Excellent day course in ceramique for beginners. Patient and encouraging teacher.

John Cooksonjs

A great first time experience. Challenging, but learnt a lot from Guilia and in a studio surrounded by some of her inspiring work and sample pieces. You don't have to slavishly follow the Adamento when time is limited. In my case, pleasure can be taken from a bit of freestyling (with Giulia's guidance) which can still produce a worthwhile piece of work. This one day workshop has made me think it would be a wonderful hobby to pursue.

Alexandra Eder

Giulia's studio is great and she is a very good teacher. I really enjoyed the workshop. I would have liked to find out more about Giulia's work and career, it was a very quiet class. Still great though!

Magda Bird

Brilliant workshop! Very peaceful and we now both have gorgeous mosaics. Thank you!
