Creativity Wild Mosaics is a Sydney-based art studio and classroom.

Operating for more than a decade, it is owned by artist/teacher Miriam Ross. Miriam has been creating and teaching mosaics and craft for more than twenty years. Her goal is to give every person, no matter their age or perceived ability, an opportunity to create a beautiful and substantial piece of art that they can be proud of.

Hence, Miriam has worked with many preschools, primary and secondary schools, after school and holiday care, aged care, community groups, special needs and corporate clients. She has also worked on a voluntary basis with hospitals and other not for profit organisations.

Miriam has students who love attending mosaic workshops in her classroom at botany. “Whenever I work with people the process is the same – I help each person find their own unique creative style, then help them express that creativity through mosaic art. When I work with schools and large groups we work together to create a unique mosaic that reflects their emotions and values”.

All CW mosaics include students’ artworks and ideas. “This ensures students have ownership and pride in their beautiful mosaic and feel connected to it."

Fast-paced intro to mosaics with a fun vibe. Great to get straight in and have a completed mosaic at the end. Helpful tips and info provided.

I love the class! It was suitable for all skill levels as I went with my elderly mum and primary school age daughters. The teacher was friendly and just lovely helping everyone. I would definitely recommend it and am looking forward to doing another class.

Highly recommend. The class was great and the teacher facilitated the big group very well. She made everyone feel very comfortable and welcome. Lots of different colours and finishes of tiles to choose from. Plenty of templates to choose from as well.

This was a great class. The teacher facilitated the big group very well and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable.

There were a lot of options of templates to choose from and heaps of different materials (textures and finishes of tiles). 100% recommend

If you are looking for a relaxed environment to learn a new skill then this is the place for you! We had a fabulous time making our sculptures, with lots of tips and tricks shared along the way. Our teacher is extremely talented and knowledgeable. There is no shortage of supplies, and a great layout for a workspace. She was in no rush to push us through, answered any questions, showed us techniques, guiding us the whole way, whilst letting us do the work too so that the sculpture we came home with was truly our own work. Highly recommend and we are already planning to go back

Teacher's response

Thank you, Juliana! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the class and felt so relaxed. We enjoyed having you with us.

Jennifer Smith Aug 2023


As complete novices, we were so proud of what we achieved under Miriam's guidance! The class was a lot of fun and Miriam is a very patient teacher whose clear instructions were easy to follow. We couldn't believe that we actually created something we were proud of and so happy to take home! Fun, rewarding and surprisingly therapeutic! Would definitely recommend.

Lyndal Hinton Jul 2023


We had a a great lesson, just the right of information and got into the task as soon as possible. Plenty of materials and teacher supportive of colour ways and design ideas and added new tiles to meet our desired colour palettes.

A lovely outing and will be coming back for more!

This was a great starter class to give you the basics on what you need to know.

Teacher was friendly and very helpful . All materials are provided. And parking is easy.

It is trickier than I had imagined and most people struggled for time. Don’t get too bogged down in making it perfect. Just have a go!

Miriam is a fantastic teacher. She is patient and does not rush your artistic expression. She is very skilled and enjoys sharing information about techniques, supplies and all kinds of project. I love that she has a Thursday class to go and do your own projects with the support of Miriam and her guidance. Definitely do that!

Andrew Hollander May 2023


Very enjoyable, had a great time.
Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Would go back in the future.

Miriam was a patient and experienced teacher who catered to students aged 5 to 50 plus in the same class. Our family made multiple pieces in the allocated time and had a wonderful afternoon in the studio. We will be back!

Very enjoyable mosaic class, perfect venue, Miriam is very informative, helpful and creates a great atmosphere. The class gives you the basics of mosaics and the confidence to tackle more projects. I have booked another class, and am looking forward to learning more.

Miriam is an excellent teacher sharing her knowledge of mosaics with the group. It was a fun and relaxing afternoon I would highly recommend this class if you want a taste of mosaics we each left with our chosen piece that we worked on. A great date afternoon with my partner

Teacher explained everything step by step. Also she came to everyone to see if you needed help. Also cut some troublesome tiles for me which was greatly appreciated. Venue good and hot beverages provided if you did want. Place clean and organised. Good value and great selection of tiles.

Miriam embodies creative flair and wisdom, guiding us today to make our treasured first piece of mosaic and inspiring us to continue the creative energy with her other offeringssculpture, cake decorating. She’s a fun teacher and her garden path is testament. Look out for the purple gate! Photo before grouting.

Miriam is fantastic. She is very patient and explains the steps very clearly. It has been a great experience for my 8yo and myself as we have not done any mosaics class before. We look forward to join future class or have a birthday party at Creativity Wild Mosaics.

What a fun session! Miriam is a wonderful teacher. In our morning session we learnt the basics we needed about materials, tools, procedures and techniques and achieved a small project. Just the right amount of “hands on” guidance. I highly recommend for a small group of friends with little or no experience.

Sandra Kilborn Aug 2022


The class was terrific as a beginners class. The time just flew by. Miriam was fully prepared with everything that we needed and assisted us in learning the basics. I hope to do more classes.

Lynette Buchanan Jul 2022


Fantastic day.
Miriam was a great teacher and kept to the speed of the class.
Everything we needed was provided and she explained it very well.
She even told us how we could do it at home if we wanted.
Definitely recommend and would live to go back and learn something new in one of her other classes
Thank you

We had an amazing time. Our sculptures came out way better than we expected and the class was super relaxed.

It wasn't obvious from the class bento description that the sculptures are aerated concrete, not clay. Personally, I think I preffered it that way.

Karen Lee May 2022


What a wonderful time we had at our Mosaic beginner's class.
Teacher Miriam was so friendly and put us all at ease and took us step by step through the process. She showed us what potential mosaics at an advanced level but also showed us what a basic mosaic project can look like. She advised on design ideas, details, things that worked well and things that won't work well, demonstrating her experience and wonderful professionalism. She even gave us a bit of extra time so we could finish our little projects and not feel rushed.

Loved the whole experience from the start. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a team building or individual experience.

Jacqueline Sudul May 2022


Was a fun class. The class teaches you how you could do this at home. It was a gift for my friend. I found it a great starter course and great for a one-off craft workshop. would do again.

A fun albeit dusty afternoon spent creating our very own masterpieces under the friendly and experienced tutelage of Miriam who has the patience of a saint! I have never know 4 hours fly by so fast and how we achieved our recognizable take home pieces from a raw block of cement in that time is truly amazing and an indication of how good Miriam is.
Well worth it and something i would be keen to do again! Thanks Miriam for a great afternoon!

Had a lovely experience and enjoyed the class very much. Great energy and support from our teacher which was just enough detail to have us create a finished product we loved by the end. All tools provided and my finished sculpture makes me smile. Mission accomplished!

Miriam was a great teacher. I came to the class knowing nothing about mosaics. She explained all the steps very clearly and answered all my questions. She supplied everything I needed. Would recommend the beginners mosaics class with Miriam

Seller was quick to respond and friendly but I could have got kit elsewhere for less than half what I paid here. The kit only came with instructions not a class. Very disappointed.

We used hand tools to turn a block of concrete into our own mini masterpiece. It was fun and hard work. Our teacher gave us lots of tips on where to buy our own inexpensive tools if we wish to continue sculpting at home. It was great!

This was my first sculpting class and a great place to start. I learnt a lot from the class about tools and basic techniques. I was surprised by what I was able to do within the class and super happy with the experience. I underestimated how much effort and strength would be needed - it is definitely a very hands on class where you will work up a bit of a sweat!
