Workshops & Courses

All my courses are designed for students of every skill level — from complete beginners to experienced crafters. Working with colour and creating from the heart can be deeply therapeutic. Working with colour, and creating from the heart can be deeply therapeutic, a welcome escape from the stresses of daily life.

For my online classes, I’ve created WhatsApp groups that have grown into inspiring and supportive communities — places to share ideas, encouragement, and beautiful finished mosaics.

Whether you’re exploring a new hobby, reconnecting with your creativity, or simply enjoying a peaceful, hands-on escape, my mosaic workshops are open to all. No drawing skills or artistic experience needed — just bring your curiosity and a willingness to give it a go. I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.

You’ll find a few basic details about the courses below. To read more or make a booking, click the ‘Information & Booking’ button. And if you have any questions at all, feel free to get in touch — I’d love to hear from you.

Stained Glass Garden Mosaic Workshop

Days:

1 Day: £100
2 Days: £180

Time:

10 A.M. – 4 P.M.

Level:

Beginners & Intermediates

In this workshop, you’ll create a beautiful stained glass mosaic on a mirror base, ensuring that your piece stays bright and vibrant throughout the day with the help of light reflecting off the surface. You’ll learn the glass-on-mirror technique, which is different from traditional mosaic (tiles, china), fusing, or copper foil work.

What to Expect:

Introduction: The workshop will begin with a brief demonstration explaining the tools, the types of glass, and how to cut them to create different effects.
Create Your Mosaic: After the demonstration, you’ll have the freedom to begin creating your design. Bring your ideas, but keep them simple to avoid rushing at the end.
Guidance: I’ll guide you throughout the process, providing as much or as little help as you need to complete your piece.

Workshop Details:

Time & Size Expectations:
1 Day: A piece roughly 12x50cm or 30x30cm.
2 Days: A larger panel, such as 10x76cm or 30x40cm.
You can choose to work on one large piece or several smaller pieces, but be sure to choose a manageable design so you can complete it comfortably.

What to Expect:

Create Flowers & Leaves: We’ll practice cutting various flower and leaf shapes, from simple to complex, and I’ll help you refine your technique throughout the day.

LOVED the class! Sue is a phenomenal teacher. My experience with the course being online was excellent, can’t wait to sign up for a future one. I have access to the recordings of all the classes so if I need to go back and watch a particular section, I can. I’m almost finished with my piece and will post it when I am done. Thank you Sue !!
