I work from my home & garden studio in the beautiful county of Rutland, England. My style of mosaic making is known as 'pique assiette' (which translates as 'stolen from plates') or 'memory ware'. It is the ultimate form of recycling for anyone who appreciates seeing vintage china reimagined as a piece of art - as well as being a perfect way to remember someone special.

​

WORKSHOPS

As well as making and selling my art, I offer year-round bespoke workshops from my home studio on Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays. This is a lovely way to spend time with like-minded folk - or, as one recent participant described it, "... a fabulous day... a real creative escape!".

 

I have an extensive collection of vintage china for participants to choose from, plus sheet glass (I also do stained glass work) and cutting and grinding machines for precision work. 

 

A craft workshop is a great social activity but it's also very mindful, for anyone in need of some creative therapy. The ideal group number is 5/6 people. The timings are usually 10am to 4pm. I offer various standard base templates for participants to work on (some of these are seasonal), as well as being open to creating new designs or supporting personal projects. I encourage people to bring their own china/embellishments along to make their mosaic project more meaningful.

​

For a group of 4-6 people, the cost is £70 per person.

For 3 people, the cost is £75 per person. 

For 2 people, the cost is £85 per person.

For a 1-1 session, the cost is £100.

 

All tools and materials, plus refreshments & treats, are included in the cost. Participants should bring their own packed lunch; there are plenty of spaces in the house and garden to enjoy a lunch break away from the worktable. Off and on-street parking is available. I will send detailed directions on final confirmation & payment.

 

NOTE: I AM NOT RUNNING ANY MORE WORKSHOPS THIS YEAR AS I AM FOCUSED ON MAKING FOR CHRISTMAS FAIRS - BUT WATCH THIS SPACE FOR 2025 WORKSHOP DATES!​

CRAFT FAIRS

I take part in selected artisan craft fairs as well as collaborating with various local artists' collectives.

 

My next event is inside the Hall at the incredible ​Haddon Hall Mercatum Market in Derbyshire from 13-17 November 2024.
