You can see examples of some of my work on this site, mainly tabletops, pictures and mirrors; I have turned football club emblems into mosaics for the football fans in my family. In fact, mosaics are so versatile a medium that there is no limit to it’s uses and applications!

Table tops are on boards of exterior-grade marine plywood which is resistant to rain and frost, with water-resistant glue and grout .

The dimensions of the table top can be adapted to fit any table or surface in your home and garden.

Choosing a design

Choose your design or pattern from the following, or send your own original design and let me know what size and colours you would like, perhaps to complement an existing colour scheme.

 

How much does it cost?

The price will vary according to the size and complexity of the mosaic as a larger piece with a simple geometric design may take a lot less time than a smaller more intricate design. A round table top or picture of 40cms diameter would cost between £80 to £100 plus post and packing.

 

About us

Mostly mosaics is partly about creating a beautiful mosaic to take home with you and also, if you wish, a hand-painted ceramic tile or plate. But, it’s also about discovering your own creativity.

I come from a background of teaching, 15 years of teaching early years and infants in S.Yorkshire and believe that we all start life with an openness of mind and spirit which becomes lost, but can be rediscovered. .

I have found that the practise of meditation has helped me to rediscover my own creativity and so I have therefore included in this course an opportunity to have some guided meditation if you wish. This usually takes 15 minutes and is based on awareness of the body and attention to breathing.
