Well run workshop in an inspiring creative space. Meryl was very knowledgeable & was able to impart the basics of mosaics in an easily understood way. All the equipment & mosaics supplies were included in the cost of the course & we had plenty of choice of colors & help with ideas along the way. I highly recommend this course & will treasure my piece of art.

I was very unsure how I’d go today as I have never done mosaics, but Merryl and Georgina were amazing. I couldn’t fault anything, from the very beginning with the instructions on how to make your mosaic, right through to completing your piece. Merryl and Georgina were very hands on with helping and giving you ideas. Great day to be had and I’m very happy with my end result. I would highly recommend Merryls Mosaics. 10 out of 10. Thanks girls

Great informative class, able to try different techniques and great choice of different tiles and other supplies.
Meryl was great at explaining the art of mosaic.
Definitely worth giving this class a go if you want to start mosaics.

Fantastic loved it materials provided great teacher great assistance will be back learnt lots of techniques used different tools and got written instructions plus she let us stay late to finish also fun
I really enjoyed doing this full day mosaic class and loved my final piece. Everything was clearly explained and you were helped each step of the way. Suggestions were given on how to make your piece even better which really helped to make the colours flow into each other better. To come away with a fully finished piece at the end of the day was great.

Merryl had a wealth of knowledge about mosaics. Class supplied everything that you needed for the day. No time to stop for lunch but had coffee and biscuits, if you had stoped for lunch you would not get your project finished, I am glad we had a big breakfast to carry us through the day. I felt rushed at the end to try and finish my project so did not take as much care and was dissappointed with the results of the second half. We independantly worked on our own projects and could ask for help but other students took up all staff's time and I felt we were a little bit left to our own devices. Rather than rush to finish off projects, maybe demonstrate the grouting process and send us home with enough glass, glue and grout to finish off the project at home. I could have spent more time cutting all the glass I needed, rather than rushing to stick all the pieces down and grout it before we left,. Class went over the alloted time and when we left others were still finishing off projects. It was a great day and I thoughly enjoyed it and would reccommend it to anyone, but be prepared for a long busy day.

Great class, fantastic venue. Would be nice to have no sweet options during the Lenten time to respect some individuals who may be fasting and having sugary snacks like cookies is not the best. Loved the class though. Excellent facilitator, well instructed and guided throughout the mosaic process. Having a helper on standby was awesome too.

The teacher and her team were great. Lots to learn .I enjoyed the course it was intense. Supply’s very good plenty of choice. I suggest bringing lunch so you can have it at your own pace. Tea and coffee provided and lovely biscuits .

Had a great day at the full day beginners mosaic course. I went alone and thoroughly enjoyed everything. I have zero experience working with glass and arrived with an idea of what I wanted to learn so I could then continue at home. Merryl was informative and took the time to ensure everyone got the most out of the time. You have enough time to finish a small piece but walk away with heaps to discover.
I would thoroughly recommend this course.

Meryl and Georgina - both gorgeous, super informative and helpful. Had the best day. Went with a friend - we’re both recovering from different cancer journeys and it was a beautiful way to spend a day in each other’s presence and being clever and creative! can’t wait to go back to learn more!

This class was very professionally run by Merryl and Georgina. The materials provided were very generous and the instructions were clear and helpful. There were lots of options for our first project. It was so great to get out and do a lovely group craft activity. Absolutely wonderful day.
Wow! What a long, but enjoyable day! Merryl and Georgina were great facilitators for learning how to mosaic. The only thing I can think of that could be improved is that there was no formal lunch break. If a lunch break were taken into account the day would need to be longer in order for everyone to finish their mosaics.

Fabulous, professional class. Merryl shared her extensive knowledge generously and Fleur was a valuable assistant - in a class of 8 I never had to wait long for help. The studio is extensively stocked with supplies and options for different levels and preferences. Great day .
Loved this class. Loved my mosaic. A great way to spend a Saturday. Thank you

Had a great experience in this class taken by Merryl and Fleur. They were super helpful with all my questions. All materials and equipment were provided, together with class notes. Nothing was too much trouble for them and I had guidance on how to use two grinders and a straight glass cutter. All round great class.

Merryl was amazing. She spend so much time - extra time with me to finish. She didn’t have to do that, but she did. She is very patient and kind. The materials are of great quality. Merryl is passionate about passing on love for Mosaic, tips and tricks to get a great outcome. The venue was great, good location. My friends and I had an amazing time. Thank you Merryl and Ursula.

Merryl is an absolute wonderful, kind and friendly teacher! She goes above and beyond for everyone! Her studio is so fun and inviting! Her pieces all around are so inspiring and the past students coming in to finish their work makes it such a great, enthusiastic environment! This class was exactly what I needed to reignite my creativity. I made a lovely piece unique to who I am, that I am so proud of. Everyone was so lovely and so encouraging, I just wanted to never leave! I will be back for certain! Next piece Large outdoor Cactus! Also great choice of tiles and equipment! Don't wait book the class today!
