Make a stunning, unique mosaic mirror in this full-day workshop in Exeter using lovely reclaimed china. You’ll learn how to safely cut plates and cups using wheeled nippers and apply a ‘crazy paving’ method to form your pieces into a creation to be proud of!
There will be lots of gorgeous china for you to choose from, or you can bring your own. It’s a great way to repurpose an old tea set or special broken plate that’s been sitting in the back of the cupboard! You'll be guided through every stage of the process, including how to grout your finished piece.
If you are confident using a wheeled nipper, you may decide to be more adventurous in your design. Additional guidance will be provided for anyone at an intermediate level. You'll take away your finished mirror to cherish!

I discovered mosaic making over 20 years ago & have been hooked ever since! I find it calming, mindful and great for my wellbeing. I started teaching around 4 years ago, when I moved to Edinburgh (I'm now back in gorgeous Devon), and love sharing the joy of this great craft with others. I've taught students to make mosaic hearts, coasters, mirrors, plant pots, Christmas decorations, wreaths, butterflies.... My students tell me how relaxing and enjoyable they find my workshops - wellbeing through creativity is close to my heart. I make my practice as sustainable as possible, and particularly like workshops which involve using old china. Many of my students bring in precious broken cups, or old dishes they want to re-invent. It's so rewarding seeing something important given a new lease of life. I've exhibited my work in Edinburgh as part of an arts collective, sold many items and raised money for the St Columbas Hospice through the sale of mosaic pieces.
