Two Day Weekend Mosaic Workshop : Direct Technique

Emelia Thorold

Giulia is a great teacher. Helpful and patient and not at all intimidating. I highly recommend her courses.

Fabulous course!  I learnt so much about mosaics with Giulia who explained the techniques very well. The course covered drawing your design, how to cut the tesserae and how to grout.  Giulia is a very talented mosaic artist and has inspired me to learn more about this art form.  
I really enjoyed it and can highly recommend this course.

Giulia was a lovely teacher and clearly very passionate about what she does which made the experience extremely enjoyable - the time flew by! I was impressed with her knowledge of mosaics and she explained the intricacies of the craft clearly. Despite being the only pupil that weekend she still ran the class regardless and was very accommodating, even staying late so that I had time to finish. 

Very happy with the course and the final product, would recommend to anyone interested!
