Recent reviews of Introduction to Mosaic Workshop

  • 5/5 from Stefana Samson, attended Jan 2026: This workshop was the best! My mum and I came and had a great time learning how to do mosaic, chatting to Jenni and making beautiful pieces of art. There were so many materials and resources available so you can get super creative!
  • 5/5 from Amanda Fieldwick, attended Jan 2026: Jenni was a very warm and welcoming person who most definitely has a love of the crafts she teaches. Nothing was too much trouble especially when I was a little too enthusiastic about the size of mosaic I started with. Even though Jenni had explained how long a mosaic can take to do I chose a big square to attempt my design but realised 3 hrs in that I definitely wasn't going to finish it in time so decided to cut around my design so at least I could take a finished piece home. Jenni had offered for me to finish it at home however not having access to the tools needed to cut the tiles I knew this wasn't an option. My advice therefore is listen to Jenni and what she advises. My daughter and I had a lovely time and the 4 hours definitely flies by in being engrossed in the craft alongside enjoying pleasant conversation.
  • 5/5 from Sophie, attended Jan 2026: I really enjoyed the class! It was my first time trying mosaics and Jenni made my mum and I feel very welcome. There were lots of options of things we could create and I loved the freedom to try what we wanted. If I had any questions Jenni was very helpful and the time flew by. Looking forward to going back in the future and bringing some of my friends!
  • 5/5 from Susan Hardinges, attended Oct 2025: We had a lovely session with Jenni who was really knowledgeable and helped us from a design and tile cutting perspective. A great session for any celebration. Would recommend!
  • 5/5 from Katy Akele, attended Oct 2025: We booked a private class for 4 people, Jenny was so welcoming and made the day really special and fun! It was a very relaxed environment and we were. Really delighted with what we made. Honestly can’t recommend highly enough!
  • 5/5 from Lottie Lewis, attended Oct 2025: My sisters, Mum and I had a wonderful afternoon making mosaics at Parkway Arts today. Jenny was a friendly, knoedgeable and patient teacher and we all produced mosaics we were proud of. We didn't have time to grout our pieces but Jenny is going to kindly arrange an online session for us to do this - as we aren't all local to the area. Highly recommend this class for value for money and a fabulous experience.
  • 5/5 from Hannah Wooster, attended Sep 2025: I had a fab session with Jenni during the Introduction to Mosaic workshop. She took so much time to show me all the techniques and equipment, as well as what I need to continue it at home. I can't wait to make more!

Parkway Arts CIC is a community pottery and arts studio based in Didcot, Oxfordshire. The studio began after founder Jenni was made redundant, and found her outlet for the emotional roller coaster redundancy gave her was craft, particularly pottery. She found it was an excellent way to increase her sense of wellbeing, focus on the ‘here and now’ and widen her social circle outside the office. As time went on, she knew she couldn’t return to corporate life, and decided to take the core of what she had discovered on her journey and try to make it available to all. The idea of Parkway Arts became a seed of an idea that would flourish into the studio it is today.
Offering classes in crafts such as hand building pottery, mosaic, silver metal clay and more, the studio is a warm, welcoming space where your skill level is no barrier to your ability to have fun and get stuck in! Our facilitators are on hand to help you when you hit a bump in the road, and guide you towards making your very own work of art! And if you get really addicted? Well there’s always our studio memberships giving you access to the space when the creative juices start to flow.
We can’t wait for you to come and join us, learn some new skills, polish some rusty ones and enjoy the community!
