It's started....

I cannot believe how busy I have been!

Before I start wittering on about the new studio, I have some photos from one of the recent mosaic for beginners for children.

We had a lovely day and everyone made a gorgeous mirror!

I would like to ask that you follow this link and vote for young Fiona Beeston.  A lovely young lady with a beautiful voice.  Here is the link: http://stokestoptalent.com/ please make sure you click on 'Fiona Beeston'.

So this is really the last session here at Adelphi Mill :-(

The GOOD news is that The Creative Space Studio is moving to Clarence Mill! A slightly bigger but better set out, the new studio is directly overlooking the canal and next to the very gorgeous Cafe Waterside.

I have LOTS of new ideas for courses, particularly the mosaic jewellery ones - you can also stock up on your Christmas pressies!

Ok - the sun is streaming through the studio window so I'm going to make a last mosaic in here before I start packing.

TTFN!

Saturday Morning Mosaic Heaven

What more can I ask - lovely weather, lovely people and gorgeous mosaics. Proving to be popular, my mosaic mirror introductory workshop is certain to be a mainstay of my provision. Looking forward to welcoming some new members to my wonderful regulars!

Mosaic Workshop - Fun day!

 What a gorgeous day!

The lovely Kathryn produced a wonderful mosaic. 

Really impressed with her design and application.  

Thanks for coming today. 

Really enjoyed chatting over mosaic with you. 

Hope you learned lots!

See! Impressive or what!

Completed in one day (just needs grouting on Monday).  

We worked hard and put the World to rights plus enjoying our 

soup (recipe at the bottom).

If you fancy having a relaxed Saturday, learning the basics 

and creating something gorgeous, drop me an email for more

 details. Get a couple of friends together for a real girlie day!

BUTTERNUT SQUASH & FRESH GINGER SOUP

1 x red onion

1/2 x medium butternut squash

1 x tablespoon FRESH ginger (shaved with a peeler)

1 x pinch herb de provence
