I mean - really - where else can you go to make something as spectacular as Jo’s piece?

Incredible job Jo. Can we keep it for ourselves?!!

Gorgeous garden mirror mosaic by Jacki….
She told us she didn’t want the course to end.

Secret confession - neither did we!

Jacki’s design shows Durdle Dor in Dorset, one of her favourite places. Beautifully done!

The next course starts on 8th July and there’s one (repeat, one) place left.

Big thanks to Gwyn for sending a pic of her finished Mirror Mosaic Garden art yesterday.
Gwyn has used the mosaic style we’re calling ‘Mosaic Nouveau’ (to be said in a pretentious faux-French manner)….

Much of the base mirror is left free to add light and reflections in the garden for a lovely shimmering result.

Great job Gwyn!

The next course begins in July and there’s a place available….
