Can’t wait to pick up my dish thanks so much Meryl had a great day

Roberta Bartlett Mar 2024


Another inspiring class! It’s wonderful to see so many different ideas & objects created in the one space. People made vases, platters, bowls, candle-holders, dishes & ornaments, all in different patterns, colours & designs. Lots of help is available for those trying things for the first time.

Fiona Clifford Mar 2024


The class size was too big for the level of assistance and precision needed to make a successful piece.

Jade Ince Mar 2024


Got this class for my family and I for my birthday and it was AMAZING! We all had so much fun and are all keen to come back and do another class! Everyone was helpful and lovely and I would highly, HIGHLY, recommend

Tom Acland Mar 2024


Clarice was a stand-out teacher - knowledgeable, professional, warm & friendly, and very diplomatic on how she managed the needs and requirements of each participant. Hats off to her. The venue was great - and plenty of materials and resources. Well done!

Felicia Capuzza Mar 2024


This class was lots of fun and really allowed for creative flow. The instructor taught us the basic principles of glass fusing, and showed us how to use the tools and machines to cut and grind the glass pieces into the shapes we wanted for our designs. I'm really happy with my final piece, although I just wish I had more time in the class to keep creating and add the finishing touches! Thanks for a great experience.

Carly Kahn Mar 2024


Thank you so much to the Meryl’s Mosaics team for putting on such an incredibly organized party for my daughter Mikayla’s 10th birthday.
The teachers were extremely helpful and it all ran very smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble.
The food and cleanup all sorted! The most stress free party we have ever had! Highly recommend!

Great experience for my children
Very peaceful and relaxing environment
Very professional
They have variety of activities which adults and children can enjoy

Nadine Corera Mar 2024


This was a great beginners class. There are a huge variety of designs to choose from. Meryl shows you how to cut the glass to size and then provides tips on how to best place it on the design. Lots of colour options to choose from top. Some amazing designs on class to be inspired by.

Three hours was just the right amount of time to complete my design. I think it was great value for money.

Meryl has created a very unique and inspiring place to be creative.

I am keen to do another class in the future.

Very enjoyable introduction to fused glass. Lots of fun, good instruction and hands on experience.

Debra Learhinan Mar 2024


The occasion was to take some clients out for the day. We are had a great time. Music was spot on. :)
We even enjoyed the other clients that attended. Everyone was lovely.
Everything was provided and it was all explained clearly.
We liked all of the above.
Thanks for a great day, ladies.
We will be definitely back.

Helen Fitzgerald Mar 2024


Very enjoyable session. Lots of help and advice from Meryl, which was appreciated. This is my second visit to Meryls Mosaics and just as enjoyable the second time.

Madhumita G Mar 2024


Meryl had a wide variety of templates and colours to choose from and we thoroughly enjoyed her class! Tasty snacks were also provided and the workshop was worth our time and money.

Roberta Bartlett Feb 2024


This class is exciting, with all the possibilities of colour, shape & design choices. The techniques are explained in full & individual attention is given by Merryl & staff, to achieving your particular bowl or vase. There are many examples to see & choose from.

Melissa Guthrie Feb 2024


I learnt so much in this class and can’t wait to see how my bowl looks. The staff are friendly, helpful and patient. There are so many different classes and I can’t wait to try something new.

Joanna Murdoch Feb 2024


Such a great class, learnt heaps! Merryl was even so kind as to give me a few extra hours to finish off my mosaic! Super happy

Glassblowing and Mosaic class review by Joanna Murdoch - Melbourne

Lisa Perkin Feb 2024


This was my first glass workshop that I attended. The class was very interesting and the staff were super helpful. Merryl explained the techniques involved thoroughly, however the basics of how to start weren’t explained. I’d do another class here again!

Fused Glass Vase Workshop review by Lisa Perkin - Melbourne

Gaye Sumsion Feb 2024


The class was enjoyable and Meryl instantly made you feel welcome. The information was very informative and helpful as I am a novice to mosaics. The wide choice of tiles etc to use for our piece was fantastic. I would recommend the to anyone who wants to learn or to expand their knowledge of mosaics.

My kids love it
Thanks to Meryl and her team

Julie Mason Feb 2024


Merryl and Georgia were supportive and encouraging and ensured a renewed interest in mosaics again for me.

Farah Irani Feb 2024


A really fun way to spend a morning with friends doing something I have never done before. Meryl was very professional and took us through the steps very well. The 2 girls who were helping were so patient and very accomodating.

Natalie Wynd Feb 2024


Fantastic and fun activity to do with friends. It is definitely a class that had good value for money.
Merryl and her team were so helpful and caring.
This was my second time attending and it was just as fun.

Evelyn Stathoulis Feb 2024


Had a wonderful afternoon making a coral bowl together with my sister and sister-in-law. The venue was easy to get to and the staff were friendly. Meryl was amazing - her instructions were clear and she was very supportive throughout the afternoon. There was plenty of options in choice of colours of glass and all the glass cutting equipment was provided. We were able to make our own version of the bowl so was a very creative process. Looking forward to picking up our bowls once they've been fired.

Kristal Kostoglou Feb 2024


I booked a private casual mosaic class for my birthday and we all had such a fantastic experience. Merryl & her staff were very accommodating, knowledgeable & super helpful!

Zik and Katie Feb 2024


We all had a really wonderful day, thank you so so much for all your guidance and help. We're so excited to see how our pieces turn out!

Adrianna Didaskalou Feb 2024


Another fun session with my granddaughter at Meryl's Mosaics.
I am now looking at doing some adult classes for myself.

Roberta Bartlett Feb 2024


I find the Jewellery workshop very inspiring with the range of colours, textures, shapes & sizes available. I love using the dichroic glass as well, because it has a metallic look & comes in beautiful colours & patterns. You can create lovely abstract designs using small offcuts of it, as well.
Merryl & Georgina were very knowledgeable & helpful. So much to learnit’s exciting!

Jasmine Cox Feb 2024


What a pleasant afternoon out with 2 of my bestfriends.
We enjoyed zen craft afternoon completing mosaics.
Class was fantastic we received guidance and skills and were able to create master pieces within the session to take home for our homes.

Absolutely loved it. The class was well structured with lots of choice of “stencils” (shapes to mosaic on) and mosaic stones in every colour of the rainbow. The whole experience was so much fun!

Nicole Caplan Feb 2024


Merryl and the team were very organised and helpful. The kids had a great time and their mosaics turned out fantastic.

Sinead Naughton Feb 2024


Had an amazing time, have already recommended it to friends and family and the best part is you get to keep the memory forever, look how cute my koala is

Glassblowing and Mosaic class review by Sinead Naughton - Melbourne

Adrianna Didaskalou Feb 2024


I booked a class for my 5-year-old granddaughter, and she enjoyed it so much that we ended up doing a second project on the same day. In fact, she was reluctant to leave. Meryl is truly delightful, and there is a wonderful variety of materials available to inspire creativity. I plan to return for more children's classes as well as classes for myself!

Emma Figueirado Jan 2024


We had my daughters birthday celebration here on the weekend. it was a great party, all kids had a great time. We brought our own food/catering and it was a bit rushed to eat at the end but we were not pressured in anyway to exit, we were just mindful of the timing and maybe we didnt need as much food as we had brought along. We thought my daughter may have had different character choices for the mosaics but there was enough variety for her to select for her friends to make. We wernt sure if all girls would manage to complete their pieces in the timeframe however our host was lovely, she kept all the girls on track whilst the girls were still enjoying themselves it was very relaxing for the girls and the hosts were great at guiding kids and helping them especially at grouting time. Merryl is lovely and had a class downstairs at the same time and checked in on us. The mosaics came up really well and will be treasured pieces the kids will hold onto and remember the fun party they attended with my daughter. Thankyou so much!

This is an inspiring class. I have made a few platters & vases & have loved every one of them. At the beginning, there is an extensive explanation of the different techniques & demonstrations on how to cut the glass & what effects you can achieve, plus examples to look at. After that, Merryl & staff are very helpful & will give you guidance on how to achieve your individual project, with the myriad of colours available & a choice of moulds to use (for platters, vases, bowls etc). The time goes by quickly, so It is probably good to go with some ideas of colours etc that you’d like to use in your project. Everything you need is provided, plus tea, coffee & yummy biscuits!

Paul Cant Jan 2024


A great and enjoyable workshop.
Good spacious venue,easy access and parking.
Thank you Merryl and staff.

Gina Yusypchuk Jan 2024


Merryl is a great teacher—her explanations and examples are the right level of detail for novices and gave me the confidence to create a glass piece I am excited about. She and her staff are very helpful—they encourage creativity, provide honest feedback, and go above and beyond to help everyone put together their creations. Additionally the studio has a huge collection of glass to choose from—it is inspiring and I already want to go back and design another piece.

Dr Margaret Elder Jan 2024


Thank you Merryl for a very relaxing and enjoyable afternoon making our fused glass platters today. Our group of five very much appreciated your help and expertise with each of our pieces and we can’t wait to see the finished products! We are coming back soon for a mosaic class. Absolutely loved our class Margaret, Bernie, Lianne, Rosanna and Wendy

Elizabeth Chow Jan 2024


Teacher was very efficient and clearly experienced in delivering this class. I appreciated that we had more time to actually do versus her showing and telling every technique. There were enough examples and sidebar conversations that I really had a lot of fun even though initially I was pretty intimidated by the technique initially. There was so much creative freedom and the teacher and the staff's ability to adapt what I wanted to do was amazing! I'm going back!

Chris Richardson Jan 2024


Loved the mosaic class with Merryl! Her and her team were very supportive, patient and I learnt a lot of new skills in the afternoon session I was in. Plenty of supplies to work with including different forms of glass and heaps of colours.

Glassblowing and Mosaic class review by Chris Richardson - Melbourne

Jenny Wraight Jan 2024


We attended Merryl's mosaic class as a family Christmas gift activity - 11 people over three generations and each person was able to choose a design they liked and work at their own level and pace. Even a safe, non-glass option for a toddler.
The staff were informative and helpful and served us well and kindly!
We were all delighted with the end products and some mentioned they would love to do the activity again.

Liel Barber Jan 2024


My daughter really likes the workshop. She made a jewelry box. A very age-appropriate workshop, the time passed quickly and it was a great activity for a school holiday!

Chris Skaftouros Jan 2024


My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our mosaic experience. The teachers were lovely and very friendly. I highly recommend this class to everybody. it was peaceful, relaxing and the end result was fantastic Merryl was terrific. We will be going back

Aquinia van de Zandt Jan 2024


We had a great time, was incredibly fun and relaxing.

Only thing I'd give for feedback is that the teacher - Merryl - who we encountered when we first walked in, could be warmer. She didn't smile, seemed angry at us actually. I thought it was because we were 10 mins late, but as there was no actual 'lesson' or anything and everyone was just working on their own things at their own pace, I wonder why she was so rude. The staff in general were quiet and not very welcoming or engaging. So the atmosphere wasn't the best, but we bought our own fun and we engaged our staff member Olivia into lots of chat and she warmed up to us, so that was great and as everyone is left to their own devices - we really enjoyed our experience.

Teacher's response

Dear Aquinia
Thank you very much for taking the time to give me this feedback - as uncomfortable as it was to hear. I honestly don't remember the encounter, and I certainly wasn't upset or angry with you for being late. It was a very busy day and I don't know where my head was at the time. It is my highest priority to make customers feel welcome, comfortable, accepted and happy and I apologise sincerely for minimising your experience here. I appreciate your feedback and will use it as a constant reminder when people come in.
Sincere apologies and thank you again for taking the trouble for expressing this. I am pleased you enjoyed the experience regardless.
Kind regards
Merryl

Jasmine Pynakker Jan 2024


Had a private class today, we all very much enjoyed ourselves, the teacher was welcoming and very helpful and we can’t wait to see our completed pieces

Helen Ivanitska Jan 2024


The class was absolutely amazing, very informative and despite there being approx. 15 of us in the class, the teachers spent time with each and everyone one of us helping us to create designs, pick the right glass pieces, help us cut and polish the glass too. The studio itself has a really nice vibe, and we were even given coffee, tea and biscuits. I have enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

Myra Hardy Jan 2024


Had such a good time in the class. All instructions were easy to follow and there was plenty of support on hand. Definitely will look at doing another class.

Melissa Varga Jan 2024

My mum and I did this workshop together and we found it was a great experience as both of js enjoy making art and had never done any glass art before. We were able to be creative in our design and Merryl was a great teacher.

Rob Batchelor Dec 2023

Franca Dema Dec 2023


We had our staff Christmas party at Meryl's Mosaics on Saturday. It was fabulous. We had the entire studio to ourselves. Meryl and her staff were just wonderful - friendly, professional, clear with instructions and very helpful. There were so many options to choose for our mosaic and supplies were plentiful. We all found the session relaxing, enjoyable and quite therapeutic. There was an area we were then able to enjoy our food and drinks and chat as a team. We were all delighted with our finished products.
I can't recommend Meryl's Mosaics more highly. You won't be disappointed.

One of my favourite classes I have done. The teacher is amazing and the studio is beautiful and is an inviting community. Love hearing about all the different fusing techniques and the options of pieces you can make are endless! Really great for mindfulness and getting out of your head and enjoying time creating. Cannot wait to pick up the finished results!

I a great time and Merryl and Olivia both were very helpful and very nice
Thinking of doing another piece

Candess Briggs Nov 2023


We took our goddaughter to try a mosaic class with beads. The teacher greeted her, allowed her to take her time to select the image and base colour to mosaic upon. The teacher explained the process and allowed our goddaughter artistic freedom to create. Assisting her with her endevours by cutting eyelashes and eyelid pieces. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to try mosaics. Our goddaughter was extremely happy with the process and product. It is proudly hanging in her room.

Susan Nov 2023


This was the 4th class I've done at Merryl's Mosaics now and I absolutely love the classes. Merryl clearly revels in her attendees enjoying the classes and is hospitable, caring and loves to see everyone's creations. The studio is great - large with different spaces to work in and it feels comfortable and homely - they also have a nice outdoor space. There is a huge variety of glass available and Merryl and her staff are generous, both with their time and in ensuring you're offered everything you need to get the best outcome for your project. The pace at which you work as a participant may influence the value for money obtained from the experience, however as mentioned, Merryl and her staff's generosity in all they do, goes a long way to providing the value for slower workers :D
It can be overwhelming at first to absorb all the information and to think of a project you can successfully achieve, but Merryl and her staff are enormously helpful in this and it is a great sense of achievement when you get your finished pieces! I am looking forward to my next workshop with Merryl.

Kate Nov 2023


This was an excellent experience as based on Christmas ideas. I have not ever completed a glass fusing session before and the given instructions and support were excellent. Meryl was fantastic as the tutor, the workspace is inspiring and the group very supportive of each other. The designs made were all very different and we all had a laugh throughout the session. I would highly recommend this to everyone.

Tom Nov 2023


Awesome workshop - so much fun - so supportive. You can create such beautiful things with no prior experience. Great venue, fantastic teachers. Highly recommended. Did mosaic workshop here as well and will be back for more.

Merryl is a wonderful, generous teacher and the class is a lot of fun. I came away with a piece I am incredibly proud of. I'm so glad I did the initial class and I've since gone on to complete more glass pieces. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Lynda Millen Nov 2023


I loved this course. Merryl is an excellent teacher, the space is fabulous & everything we could possibly need was provided. I learnt a lot & surprised myself with the end result. I’ll be returning for sure.

Anne Herbert Nov 2023


It was an enjoyable class.
Teacher was very helpful.
Look forward to seeing my creation.

Janine Walmsley Nov 2023


A fantastic experience that is great value for money. The staff were friendly and extremely knowledgeable. It is a perfect space with an excellent supply of materials and you can be as creative as you want to be.

Saloney Shah Nov 2023


Meryl was very helpful and patient to show us the activity and was also flexible to change to a different activity that was not originally booked.
My daughter felt at ease to do the activity by herself.
Meryl also gave us time to show other projects that she was teaching and we could do.
We are so excited to try the glass fusion and mosaic next time.
Thank you Meryl.

Anna Rizio Nov 2023


Merryl was very helpful and easy going, she went through all the basics and answered all of our questions. She offered advice on colours and assisted as needed. It was a relaxing day with easy listening music in the background and everyone working away on their pieces. There was no pressure, just considered guidance, but still allowing for your own creativeness in your piece. Merryl was very flexible for those of us that didn’t finish our pieces, offering a few option to help finish them and offered glass to take home to continue working on the pieces, I didn’t feel that we were rushed into finishing them. Overall I enjoyed the day, the mosaic work wasn’t hard, but not as easy as I had anticipated, it is about the size of the pieces, the spacing etc. Cutting all the glass etc takes up a good part of the time, but an important skill to learn if you are going to continue with Mosaics. The level of support by Merryl and her assistant throughout the day was just right and non judgemental (for the newbies!). There is an LOT of glass to work with, and all the tools are provided. And, yes the cookies are wonderful :-).

Luba Jdanova Nov 2023


Wonderful place for art and craft lovign people. Instructors are very helpful, knowing and easy to understand. The choice of materrials and tools can suit any creative design.

Carolyn French Nov 2023


Merryl was lovely, patient and experienced with supporting nervous beginners. We were soon put at ease and really enjoyed the introduction to class fusing. Merryl was available and happy to answer questions, give suggestions and guide strategies to achieve our ideas. The studio is spacious, organised and the displays of various glass and mosaic artworks certainly inspired us. It was a great space to relax with friends and create at our pace. There was no rush which enabled time to enjoy the process and complete a piece we were happy with. We plan to return and would highly recommend classes with Merryl.

Nicola Efthimiadis Oct 2023


My partner and I attended a workshop in October and had a really great time. We immediately felt welcomed, with tea and coffee offered on arrival. As we knew nothing about fused glass, we truly appreciated that Meryl took the time at the beginning of the class to teach us a bit of the theory especially about how different glass materials interact and the impact of different firing temperatures in the kiln. It was clear that Meryl is very knowledgable about her craft, and was more than happy to take the time with our individual questions and concerns. We had a great time and cannot wait to pick up our pieces.

Barbara Eggleton Oct 2023


I thoroughly enjoyed my fused glass class The process was explained and we had helpful advice on hand as the class was small. This was important to me as it can be very difficult comprehending a lot of instructions on a completely new skill.
The provision of materials was first class. Loved the range of glass colours. I found the music helped me relax .
It was interesting to learn the technique necessary to produce the bowls , and I have to admit sometimes challenging to have those pieces stay in place.
I had a very special time sharing this class with my daughters. Thank you.

A lovely experience to share with my 12 year old daughter - neither of us have done Mosaic before- the unrushed, gentle pace was relaxing and this art form is immersive and enjoyable - thank you Merryl!
We will be back!

Chris Oct 2023


Merryl was extremely helpful throughout the workshop. If you weren’t sure of a particular colour Merryl would know exactly what would work, find it in her collection of tiles and hand you a container of evenly cut squares. She was extremely hospitable, making each of us, either tea or coffee and offering some delicious biscuits for morning tea. I found the workshop really enjoyable and most relaxing. It was great being able to do something for ‘me’. I’m looking forward to more mosaic workshops.
Thank you, Merryl

Elissa Dyson Oct 2023


I absolutely loved this class, it was even better than I expected. Merryl is such a great teacher, she is very thorough and clear in her approach and was also very patient with everyone.
Everything was provided, even drinks and bikkies. The range of glass tiles available was endless, there was something just right for everyone’s project.
Thanks Merryl and your team for such a great workshop, it was very cathartic and relaxing, the time just flew by, and I left with a finished project that I am very proud of.
I invited my bestie to join me, it was just what we needed having time for ourselves and with each other, being creative.
I’ll definitely be back to spend time in your amazing workshop to create my next projects 10/10

The teacher, Merryl, was very knowledgeable and was very clear in explaining techniques .and how the finished pieces were likely to look. The materials and equipment were excellent, almost overwhelming in the possibilities. I believe that everyone is going to be happy and enjoy their finished piece. The class was fairly pricey but given the materials and the end product I think it is value for money. I had a great afternoon and would recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn to work with glass

Anonymised ClassBento student Sep 2023


Merryl’s fused glass workshop was fantastic! We were a group of 5, and there was an excellent balance of group instruction, individual assistance, and freedom to play with the glass unaided.

Merryl had a huge range of glass materials to work with, and lots of different examples to give us ideas for what to make.

We all wore masks for the immunocompromised person in our group, and it was no trouble for Merryl to do the same. I’m definitely keen to do more classes here.

I had a great time creating my beautiful fused glass vase and my friend made a fabulous platter. So many more options for platters than thought were possible versus the description of workshop which was great. Merryl was terrific in explaining the different glass fusing techniques and so it was fun to experiment. Would definitely do this class again so I can make something different. There was a lot of glass supplies to choose from so you could be as creative as your mind could ever want to do.

Merryl's class was one of the best craft classes we have ever attended! It was a fun and relaxing atmosphere with our cheese and wine, and we were given a huge range of projects to choose from. My partner and I both adore the pieces we ended up making, and they were all that more special thanks to the time and help that Merryl gave every one of us individually. She knew what our specific projects needed and what skills we should focus on, and she made sure to help us each to achieve that. She also thoughtfully suggested and mixed us each a grout colour that would best compliment our work. The amount of support and guidance she gave, while also leaving us to discover and explore, made it a perfect night. And now we get to enjoy our pieces which look so much more professional and impressive than you can usually achieve in other craft classes! Highly recommend, and we'll definitely bring people along for another class in future.

My 9.5yr old daughter & I spent almost 3.5hrs in silence so relaxed, so focused, so calm and in our happy place, creating our mosaics - a Yin/Yang, a Hamsa & a slice of watermelon! Merryl & Georgina were so lovely, so welcoming & super helpful all the way. If we lived in Melbourne we would become regulars. Thank you so much for such a wonderful creative experience. My daughter said it was the best activity we did in Melbourne. That’s a definite thumbs up from us!

I had a wonderful time at the glass fusion coral bowl workshop last weekend. Merryl was a confident and friendly instructor who always paid attention to the participants’ needs. The workshop unleashed my creativity, which I didn’t know I had. I never imagined myself working with glass before, but it was a revelation. I created something that I could only see in my imagination. Although I still have to see the finished product (as it needs to be fired), I am already thinking of going back to create a fused vase and platter. Thank you, Merryl, for your warm welcome and patience. BRAVO

It was a really relaxing experience and the nibbles that were provided were really great as well. I went in a group of 4 and we all sincerely had such a wonderful time and were surprised by how much we enjoyed this activity as we are not really arty people. All team members were super approachable and friendly and we had some wonderful conversations with them as well. Without a doubt we will be back here for more!

The team was so lovely, patient and helpful. I’m not the most decisive person so I really appreciated that they took the time to help me with my design and choosing colours, and were happy to show me different options when I wasn’t 100% sure. The other regulars there were great too, so it was just a really nice,warm and welcoming environment, and the hot chocolate they made me was a nice touch on a cold winter night!

Glassblowing and Mosaic class review by Revathi Shanmugathasan - Melbourne

Merryl was responsive and accommodating, and thoughtful.
Class Bento's communication was a little variable though from rapid to somewhat delay although everything worked out in the end.
The venue was spacious for the work area, accommodating a large number of party guests. There was a wide variety of choices for our guests to work on their pieces with a huge range of colored tiles which was great. Take time to admire the various, many art pieces that Merryl has on the wall and dotted around her studio. It will inspire you!

Merryl explained the process of starting and the sequence of completing the mosaic very well with tips provided at the beginning. She had 3 younger helpers as we were a large group.
I would suggest that if you have a larger party (>20) with guests around 8 years to 9 years old, it will be sensible to have 3-4 parents depending also on the party guests' needs, to stay back to help out through the session. A few guests were slow and needed significant help in the second half of the session from the helpers and the parents. However, Merryl did indicate that if it were the case, while the kids are having their party food, she and her helpers would ensure that they would finish the pieces for the kids to enable them to take them home at the end of the party (there will be no disappointment)!
The finished pieces for the guests were all beautiful and there were very many happy and proud faces. And that alone will warm your heart!
(I do have to comment that with both my kids' mosaic pieces, one tile fell out shortly after completion, but fortunately, for my son, it was retrieved by my son from the floor and the helper assisted him to restore it which was appreciated. Unfortunately, my daughter's (birthday girl) tile (1) fell out somewhere along the way after completion and we only noticed it when we arrived home that night. So, we do have a tile missing currently on what is otherwise an awesome mosaic piece).

Due to the size of the party, we had our party food (self catered by choice) on the main worktable (Merryl's suggestion), keeping our food upstairs on a smaller space table where party food would normally be consumed. Whilst it meant navigating the stairs multiple times, it did not dampen the mood. Good exercise though if you are fit enough, but it would be an issue if you are struggling to do stairs, although I am sure Merryl would have tried her best to work out a solution for you!
For cleaning the worktable to make space for the party food, fortunately, I had a couple of parents help me to do so as the helpers had their hands full as well, and a couple more parents helping me to bring the food from upstairs and down the stairs.
At the conclusion of the party, we cleaned up as Merryl and her helpers made preparations to set up for their next session the next day.

The feedback from all my guests including the helper parents have been very positive and some of the parents have indicated that they would love to do a class themselves as they had a lot of fun helping!

The logistics of accommodating a big group is always challenging but thank you Merryl for trying your best and for sharing your beautiful craft and artistry with the community, and for being so accommodating.

Really enjoyed trying different techniques for some smaller pieces working our way up with confidence to complete one big piece. Highly recommend this class for an introduction to glass works and the confidence to undertake new pieces!

Debra Learhinan Jun 2023


The staff and clients had a great day and were very proud of what they made.
They stated that the staff were very helpful and explained things that made it easy to understand how to do the mosaic with confidence.
Thank you for a great day.

We enjoyed the class and were very happy with what we did. I do think we could have had more instruction at the start as it was our first time. We had lots of ideas to chose from and plenty of material. We were happy with our finished works.

Merryl was so patient and lovely with us as we were 3 friends and all of us had a milestone gift of different styles to work on. She briefed us with all the needed techniques and later custom walked each one of us thru our own design, technique, guidance on method and feasibility plus step by step help. Her assistant was cool and helped all the way thru. I managed to make the most memorable gift for my husbands 50th bday and look forward to more sessions on not only glass making but also some mosaic. This time for my fathers 80th birthday

Merryl and her team were fantastic! The studio space was welcoming and inspiring. I started as a complete novice and felt very comfortable cutting tiles by the end.
The selection of designs and materials were wonderful and we were encouraged to stay on and finish, rather than being rushed out for the next class (which would have been understandable).
I would highly recommend giving it a go.

The teacher was really good at explaining, helping you choose colours, saying what designs could come out, helped my grandma to cut the glass when she was having trouble and gave feedback about what would and wouldn't work. Fantastic experience, flow of the day, high quality materials and really well thought out. There was from for creativity and support to make it work too. Meryl and (I'm sorry I can't remember the other lady's name right now) we're both lovely, skilled and helpful. The cup of tea and cookie were the cherry on top and very welcome after those of us with perfectionistic tendencies had exhausted ourselves. I can't wait to see the finished products.

Meryl! How do I start! Just a born teacher, one of those people who can command a room, answer even the most esoteric of questions AND be clipping glass with a giant pair of rubber tipped steel shear things all at the same time. Its is a MASSIVE space too, so you can really stretch out and spread your creative wings. All day long students come in and out to work on their projects and you get so see some amazingly inspirational works!
I myself am a lil bit scared of flying shards of glass (some old hospitality injuries) but though the studio is bright and fun absolutely everything is done safely and meticulously.
I myself have some spinal trauma and nerve issues like tremors nope, no worries, have a cuppa, i'll show you how to do what you need to you are welcome here.
This is the workshop you want to go to to LEARN and maybe just as importantly laugh. Unfortunately our works are still in the oven so all i have is this photo of some unfused pieces, cute, but they do not look anything like the amazing outcomes!

Eran was an incredible teacher, not only did she show me techniques for making findings, she watched over me as I repeated every step a few times so it would absorb into my memory which was incredibly helpful. Not only is she knowledgeable, she is patient, calm and relaxed which helped me to learn when I was feeling nervous. I couldn’t encourage you more to do this course as Eran is a rose amongst thorns as far as teachers go and I guarantee you, you will walk away feeling empowered to make your own findings:9)

Merryl and all the staff were great. They gave timely and appropriate instruction and feedback as you went along. Great choice of small projects you can complete in a session and we'll worth going back if you have something more ambitious in mind. I did the mosaic but the glass art looks interesting too! Whether you just want to have a fun afternoon with friends or really want to get stuck into this form of art, I would highly recommend it!

The teacher talked in detail about the different types of glass, what techniques can be used and the glass fusing results that can be achieved. Even though the talk part of the lesson went for longer then expected and they had another class on they allowed everyone who had not finished their projects to stay back and take more time to finish. I loved how other customers were popping in to work on their projects as well! I will be going back!

I had my daughter's birthday party at this studio. It was great. 2 instructors gave a brief explanation to kids and after that they checked individual's progress and helped kids where needed. Most of the guests have been done before at other birthday parties or holiday prpgrams at this studio. It was my daughter's 3rd time to do and she was quite satisfied with her work this time because she got better. I think it was the same for her guests too. Kids can chose from various patterns, so they can do different pattern every single time. I've never done this before myself so I enjoyed bits and pieces by helping kids.
We did food/drinks ourselves but it wasn't much hard as it'll be just 30 mins after 2 hours of craft.
My mother in law came to help and she also wanted do a day course next time. It was a great party.

A fantastic party place! The teachers were incredibly attentive and engaging with the kids, ensuring that everyone was having a great time.

The party was very well-organized, with activities for the children to enjoy. There were plenty of options to choose from.

Throughout the event, the teachers were always on hand to assist the children with anything they needed, and to make sure everyone was included and having a good time. They were friendly, patient, and truly seemed to love what they do.

It was evident that a lot of thought and effort had gone into planning and executing the event, and the result was a fun and memorable experience for all involved. I would highly recommend this center for anyone looking to host an arts and crafts party or event for children.

My 3 grown-up daughters and I enjoyed this class immensely. Our teacher Merrill and assistant were welcoming and generous with their knowledge and expertise. There was ample materials and our hosts were more than happy to cut more glass if needed. The delicious cookies and cuppa were an added bonus. Even the background music was great, got a few of us singing quietly whilst busy creating a beautiful piece of glass art for our homes. Can’t wait to see how it they all turn out after fireing.

After thoroughly enjoying 2 sessions of glass fusing classes previously at Meryl’s Mosaics, I returned for a third workshop for the initiated, where I was able to advance my skills and try something a bit more challenging. As always, Meryl provided just the right amount of advice and constructive suggestions whilst still encouraging your own creativity and style to show in your pieces. She was tirelessly helpful, very accommodating and extremely patient. I love attending Meryl’s workshops - its always a happy, creative and colourful studio (it’s like walking into a candy shop for adults with all those delicious colours of glass). I will definitely be returning for more.

Everything was well organised and it was great to see the range of work created by other classmates! So much fun and it will be great to see the final pieces look like!

Diane Nuttney Mar 2023


Fantastic class thoroughly enjoy it! I was an absolute beginner and it made no difference. Teachers were patience and helpful and fun!
I made a number of pieces in the class time, earings and 3 pendents. Highly recommend!

Both teachers were excellent, really passionate about what they do and very helpful - didn't feel like a noob even though I had never done anything like it before!
All materials were provided, including a platter if cheese, dip and some chips.

I booked this for my friend and I as her bday present and she absolutely loved it, said it was the best bday present she had gotten

Well worth the money and would be an excellent activity suitable for people of all ages

So informative and fun. A great day and somehow without an artist bone in my body was able to create something beautiful. Thank you.

Sue Carter Mar 2023


Meryl was a very helpful teacher.
We all sat around a long wide table, each of us having plenty of work space.
We were given a wide variety of coloured glass to choose from
It was a fun, productive afternoon.

Lauren Stern Mar 2023


Merryl is very knowledgeable about glass fusing and imparted what we needed to know very succinctly. Merryl and her helper were always on hand when we had a question. The variety of what we could make was huge and there was more than enough glass products to choose from. Overall a very enjoyable workshop.

Linda Weiss Mar 2023


For a ‘significant’ birthday my group of 20 family and friends had a private class. Merryl was great to communicate with to ask questions beforehand. I was able to bring along some extra finger food (to supplement the lovely cheese platter included in the price) , bubbles and a cake. She provided plates and most glasses. A table was set up in a nice courtyard at the rear of the shop.
On the night she was very friendly and welcoming. Her explanations of how to cut glass, arrange, glue and grout were very clear but left plenty of options for our own creativity. There were dozens and dozens of templates and coloured glass types to choose from.
She had another lady there to give extra help to our big group. We felt the class ran very smoothly and we all got our projects finished. My friends were delighted with the results and surprised themselves with how well their pieces turned out. Their feedback to me the next day was all very positive and I have no hesitation in recommending this class. A very enjoyable experience.

We had a great time at our fused glass workshop and I cannot wait to see the final product when we get them back.
Meryl and her assistant were lovely and very helpful during the opening explanations and throughout the entire class.
There were so many wonderful examples to look at and gain inspiration from as well as so many choices in colours, materials and tools. We were truely spoiled for choice.
It's more than likely we'll choose another class from Meryl's in the future! Thanks for a great time.

Examples were shown of possible designs and positives and negatives of that depending on what you wanted to achieve.
The assistants were excellent, friendly, patient and respectful. All round a lovely experience and the time spent was very enjoyable.

Merryl and staff have been wonderful. I had made a platter for a friend's wedding that cracked on slumping - no fault of mine or theirs. Merryl tried to repair it but it was unfortunately obvious (again not her fault). So she generously helped me devise a new design that I could use the glass from the broken platter, so I will still have something to give my friends. I think they will like it!

Glassblowing and Mosaic class review by Natalie Allen - Melbourne

Belinda Trevaskis Feb 2023


Had a lot of fun making my mosaic. Lots of different designs to choose from. The teachers were friendly and approachable. They showed us how to cut the tiles and came in every now and then to see how we were going and to ask if we needed help. Despite there being a few parties happening on this day, we were still able to find a quiet space upstairs where we could cut and glue our pieces, with some nice relaxing music playing in the background downstairs. Although I didn't finish my mosaic in the allocated time, I look forward to going back another morning or afternoon to finish it off (for a small extra fee). Strongly recommend this class for anyone who enjoys doing something crafty with a like minded friend or family member. Thanks Merryl!

Tris Woods Feb 2023


Really enjoyed the morning with my niece. Unfortunately we were put in the wrong room at the start and ended up doing glass mosiac instead of the beads but my niece managed to create a beautiful unicorn. Very proud of her. She wants to go back and make more, but with the beads. Staff were lovely and the venue was great.

This was a truly fantastic day and our group of four will definitely all be doing it again. Each of us came away with something we will cherish forever, and it's not often you can say that. The guidance and support was wonderful and everyone was super-friendly. Everything was made to feel easy. As our teacher noted, this is a forgiving medium and, with no prior experience, I was able to produce something of which I am truly proud image attached.

Fantastic class run by Fleur and George. Learned about the materials, tools, and cutting techniques. Lots of templates and examples to draw inspiration from, and then spent the majority of the day creating! The instructors were so lovely and helpful, but also gave time and space for you to work. There was such an extraordinary array of beautiful glass to choose from - deciding which colours and patterns to work with was one of the hardest parts.
Had an absolute blast! All of us loved our final products - and everyone in the class was planning to return :)

Thanks for a great day!

Absolutely loved the coral bowl class and can't wait to see what my piece looks like after being fired.
Plenty of help offered and given. My teacher and her assistant are so lovely and spent quality time with every class member ensuring we all understood what we were doing.
Wonderful selection of materials/colours for use.
This wass my second class. My first was mosaics, then the coral bowl and I cant wait to do my third glass fusing glass which is an all day class.
I would highly recommend any of these glass classes.
Very therapeutic thank you.

I han an amazing experience, the teacher was so helpful and could not do enough to help us, especially as most of us have never done this before. Everything was explained in detail and we were given a chance to practice before me started. Once we started, the teacher and the assistant were constantly checking in to see if we needed help. I am very excited to see the final product once it has been fired, and I will DEFINITELY go back for more classes as there are a range of items one can make.

Ingrid Savell Nov 2022


What a fun experience! Teacher and helper had a great balance of helpful hints and method teaching but then sitting back and letting us create. The venue was well set up and comfortable with yummy cheese nibbles provided and plenty of room to tuck our handbags and BYO drinks bags away.
There were so many choices of templates and the colour range and selection of tiles was awesome! The tiles were prepared in small squares that we could then cut smaller to suit our template and I was very relieved by how easy it was to cut and shape the tiles. I was most impressed and entertained by the class and love my finished product.
The friends I took and had a heap of fun too!
I was glad I chose a simple design as I don't like to feel time pressured and I was able to play with colour and shapes without stressing3hours goes fast!

We had a really good time as a private class of 6 people. Our instructors were very friendly, time-efficient and knowledgeable and we had plenty of time to complete our coral bowl / platter projects. There was a good variety of colours of glass to choose from and we received very helpful advice on the feasibility of our choices and tips and tricks to make what we would use, including consideration of where we would be displaying our pieces. All the staff were caring and accommodating and made our afternoon pleasant and enjoyable. Our event was COVID safe. Would love to come again!

I've never been a huge fan of mosaic art but I was really looking for something to do. It sat there for months untouched. But when I started it, I realised that it was so relaxing to work on. The end product is beautiful. And there were enough materials left over for me to make another small piece.

Really fantastic workshop with good variety of quality materials. Workshop had a speedy overview of the tools and the different glass fusing techniques we could use, and we spent a little time looking at other designs for inspo.

The last two thirds of the time we were left to design and create, with our friendly instructors available for help and advice as required.

I ended up doing the large platter (and so did struggle somewhat to get it done in the time frame as there was so much more to cover), and am excited to see how it turns out once it’s been fired in the kiln!

Note: you don’t take the item home with you in the day - we were told it would be ready to collect in a few weeks, however if there was urgency, it could be completed in 4 days.

Thanks for such a fun evening creating - great atmosphere and really enjoyable class!

I thoroughly enjoyed my mosaic class, although the 3 hours wizzed by and I was worried I wasn't going to get my piece finished in time, but thank goodness for Clarice jumping in and helping me. There was food available, but didn't really have time to eat anything as was too focused on getting my piece finished. I think next time I will choose an easier piece. Overall great experience.

This was my second glass fusion workshop that I have attended at this venue. I was so inspired by my first workshop, that I booked another one very shortly afterwards. The venue, teachers, quality of the glass, knowledge and products provided are excellent.
I did my own thing at this workshop, as I came prepared with my design and could simply jump in and make a start on my project (with some help/guidance from the teachers of course).
I have been inspired to continue my glass journey, in fact, I will be booking another class in a few months.

Amazing way to learn all about glass fusing techniques, glass cutting mechanics, tips and tricks. We learnt of the science behind each technique and the final effect it has on the glasses as well. Merryl's have such a wide variety of glasses - sheets, strips, noodles, squares, molds, straight cutters and grinders. I loved the experience of actually using the said cutters and grinders. I am so looking forward to the platter they have helped me create. Nice night out with amazing teachers :), thanks for the unforgettable experience!

Emily Jul 2022


Attended a mosaics class on Sunday 25/07/2022. I had been to Merryl’s Mosaics once before, but to do a glass jewellery class. Merryl is a fantastic teacher - warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. The space is great, with nice facilities and a warm vibe. Materials that were provided were ample - lots of designs to choose from, and a massive range of tiles and embellishments available. I’m so happy with how my piece turned out!

Merryl was really helpful at guiding us while working on our Mosaics, or at leaving us to create! Whatever we needed.
It took us a little longer than booked to finish up our projects and Merryl was completely fine with us staying a little longer to finish up.
Absolutely loads of templates to choose from, truly something for everyone to do!

It was something different to try. I wish there was more time tbh, felt after all the explaining there wasn't much time to create your design. I'd do it again now I know the process.

It was my first time doing a mosaic and I learned how to complete a piece that would normally be done during the class timeframe. The instructor, Merryl, was warm, knowledgeable, patient and kind. My sunflower took longer than expected but she did not rush us out, in fact, she suggested some coloured grout that really made my mosaic "pop". I'm so pleased with my first creation. Merryl's studio has tons of glass of every description, colour, shape and size that it is easy to get inspired and with Merryl's guidance, to ensure you will be thrilled with the result. The studio has an open and welcoming vibe that is casual and more like a collaboration than a formal classroom. I wholeheartedly recommend this class. My partner and I had a great time.

Lisa Grimsey Jun 2022


This was such a great class. Merryl was fantastic, explained everything really well, was incredibly patient and welcoming. As a first timer in mosaic I found the instructions really easy to follow. We had everything we needed available and in front of us and we walked out with a lovely mosaic at the end. Thank you Merryl for your hospitality, we will definitely be back again. I would highly recommend this class!

Merryl was lovely
Class was informative
Range of glass colours was good but I was wanting to use pink/ fuchsia colours which they didn’t have
I had to change my design ideas
Examples of different fusing outcomes was great
My comments would be that I thought the window displays were a bit dusty. An example of work was taken from the window for reference and it was dusty. Would have been more appealing if it was shiny and clean.
We were asked to bring supplies eg ruler, pens, pencil etc in the booking confirmation. When I got to the class I found that they were supplied.
Overall a very pleasant experience.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I enjoyed learning about glass fusing today, Merryl has a fantastic set up and provides everything needed to create amazing glass art. I will definitely look at future classes.

Miranda Cook Apr 2022


Class was such fun! Learnt so many new things about glass. The teacher was lovely and the range of materials available to use was fantastic. Highly recommend this class.

Michelle Rosenberg Apr 2022


I thoroughly enjoyed my workshop with Merryl. She is a very approachable and helpful teacher, who even assisted me with my project when I thought I was progressing too slowly! I thought the workshop had the right mix of learning techniques and skills, as well as allowing us to be creative and incorporate our own ideas. The studio is well-lit and inviting, with all tools ready to go. I would definitely book again with Merryl to further my skills.

Luana Main Apr 2022


My daughter had a fantastic party there on the weekend. SO easy to organsie. Venue was great. The girls taking the class were really lovely and quietly helped each of the kids with their creations. Separate space that we could set up for the party food and cake time with a huge table. Everyone was really impressed with the kids mosaics. Keen to go back again soon.

Meryl made it so easy to learn and I completed my first ever mosaic during the class. Everything was provided making it great value for money. Meryl also provided support to help me choose the right colours to make my design gorgeous! Cheaper than therapy and lots more fun!

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.

Merry was great with her explanations and very helpful. Venue location good with nearby free parking. Loved doing the activity and excited to see the finished product.
However I did find it somewhat difficult to access or look at the glass pieces for colour selection as they were located in the centre of the table. When people were seated and working I didn’t want to get in their way. But the person beside me kept reaching across my work when she was accessing some of her pieces.

Merryl was lovely, inspiring and a wonderful teacher. Her studio was so beautiful - I want to move in, it's my dream studio! She had wonderful supplies and great ideas to stimulate our design process. Can't wait to see what my final product looks like (Photo attached is the 2D layout of my vase, when it's fired it will drape into a vase shape). I'll be back to learn and make other things! , can't wait

Marianna Phillips Mar 2022

Lynda Hunt Mar 2022


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.

Elizabeth Lisinski Mar 2022


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.

Daniela Burke Mar 2022


Merryl is a wonderful teacher - helpful, patient & provided good advice regarding pieces to pick to mosaic and colour suggestions. The venue was a big, spacious, well resourced art studio, very organised. Materials provided were great too, especially the tile cutters! I would highly recommend attending a casual mosaic workshop, I will definitely be back! Thank you

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 .

Sue Ryan Mar 2022


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.

Great class! The teacher and assistant both supported us all in the construction and design of our vases. The venue was well light, spacious and well laid out. Hot drinks and snacks were offered throughout. I was apprehensive and unsure what to do, or where to start, but the teacher was there to talk through our ideas and wanted outcomes. Looking forward to going back ( already thinking about my next design!)

Give it a go, a fun few hours of relaxation with a take home piece.

We brought our own wine and there was a beautiful platter of food provided- yum! Friendly atmosphere- very social & relaxed. I highly recommend this Mosaic & Sip class to anyone.

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.

We had a fabulous time. The teacher’s instructions were clear of how to prepare and make the coral bowl. They had the equipment & supplies set out before we arrived so we could get straight into making the produce. I loved the process and was delighted with my finished bowl before firing.
There was also a yummy morning tea you could have while you work. The class was a lot of fun.

Had such a lovely time learning the the basics of glass fusing. Both Merryl and Fleur were so attentive to every student. We learnt the basics and made quite a few projects during the class. The best thing is we were able to make that we all specifically wanted in terms of design etc. I can’t wait to see the finished products and already looking at which class to book next.

Fused Glass Vase Workshop review by Rachael Murray - Melbourne

Rae West Oct 2021


Wow. I was welcomed at the door with a coffee and led to a table which had a folder of over 100 different shapes to choose from to do my first ever mosaic. I was then shown millions and millions of different colours and textures of glass tiles to choose from yo use to decorate my chosen shape of a Seahorse. After a demonstration of how to cut, place then glue the little pieces of glass, I was then able to give it a try, and very quickly became confident enough to have a go myself. As soon as I had finished this stage, I was then shown the next stages so I was able to complete my little mosaic artwork. I wish to say THANK YOU to 2 very talented and patient ladies and I would highly recommend MERRYL'S MOSAICS to absolutley any one and every one.

I chose 'The Turtle' and was most impressed with the quality & quantity of the glue & beads, the template was larger than expected, good quality and clearly marked.
Disappointed with the 'Wall Mount' as it is now, wouldn't buy it again unless it changed and the online video and instruction sheet weren't helpful for me & no photos of 'Turtle'.
Still liked doing it but ended up working it out myself and 'The Turtle' turned out ok.

This was a lot of fun to do.
Was surprised and delighted that I got to paint & decorate the jewel box itself as well as making the jewellery items, as I thought the box came already decorated.
Loved how everything was included so I could do it anytime, anywhere.
Including the extra charms for the bracelet with my name on it was a lovely thing to do.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time , making a mosaic each. Simple , clear instructions were given and then we were left to get on with it, with regular friendly checks from several teachers to see if we needed help or advice. A cup of tea was delivered at exactly the right time and we ran over by about an hour- no problem, no charge, all very friendly & a wonderful atmosphere of gentle creativity. We will definitely be going again.

Ash Thiele Jul 2021


Amazing class that was great value for money! I’ve been twice now and both times the staff were super nice and helpful. I made mosaics when I went, and there were so many different designs and glass colours to choose from! Just be careful around school holidays cause it gets super busy! So book in early!

Michelle Tan Jul 2021


My partner and I had an amazing time making mosaic artwork today. Merryl was very helpful and patient. She gave us suggestions when we were stuck but never pushed her ideas on us. She always made sure we were comfortable. Despite being short staffed today, she was present whenever we had questions. We learned the techniques of cutting glass and filling mosaics. As we were slow in our progress and had already ran out of time, she allowed us to complete our artwork regardless. We totally enjoyed our anniversary making mosaic artworks. Thank you for the new experience and memory! Highly recommended for anyone, young or matured.

We had a 5 yo girl birthday here, and all the kids and adults enjoyed the party. The teacher, Merryl, was very friendly and accommodative. The class was very well organised and the whole experience was hands-on for both children and parents. There was a beautiful selection of shapes and beads for the kids to choose from. We also selected food for the kids with a good variety of treats and snacks, only brought our cake and extra nibbles for adults. Each child had plenty of time to finish their creation, and some who finished earlier had another small item to decorate and take home. All the kids had fun and went home with a sense of accomplishment. Highly recommend.

Loved this class, Meryl was fabulous , offering suggestions to enhance everyone’s pieces without altering each students creativity. Don’t be afraid to ask for different colours that are laid out , as there is a plethora available including opaque glass, it’s just there would not be room to lay them all out. Our group loved our time and I think we all could have happily kept cutting class all day, it was quite therapeutic. I think we all want to return to try other classes.
Highly recommend.

When booking this class, I held limited expectations beyond trying something new. I was also unsure of the session length, wondering how I would fill three hours in a mosaic class. Not only did I require the full three hours, I loved every minute of it. Template options were extensive, access to materials was generous, and assistance was always on-hand (and, it should be noted, always given willingly and with a smile). Every aspect of the experience is a credit to Merryl and her artistic passion. I will be back!

What a rewarding day. Meryl took us through the basics about substrate and the different glues before letting us loose with the glass and design. Some really beautiful pieces were produced. It was a great day. Thanks Meryl and Fluer

Loved this class, Merryl explained how to very simply and was very helpful. There was so much choice of coloured glass to use it was fabulous. My 3 daughters and myself throughly enjoyed the experience and we all completed a lovely piece each. Great value and look forward to doing it again.

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.

Thank you for an awesome Sunday morning Glass Fusion class.
Great way to start the day.
Fleur was a lovely teacher full of knowledge and we had fun creating our works of art. Lots of ideas and glass to choose from.

Can't wait to get them back from firing.
Highly recommended A+++

Rachel was great. She guided the children well. The room were spacious. Enough for everybody to fit in and still spaces left to move about. I love that
we have other room given for children to eat and drink and also can use microwave! I love to do this even for myself!

Fiona Dwisaptono Feb 2021


The kids really enjoy it. The selection of beads are amazing. The teacher was really patient looking after these kids. Spacious space too. Love to come backthis time for the adults . Thank you so much.

Laura Kinross Feb 2021


My son and I participate in the coral glass bowl making class this morning. It was fantastic! Much easier to do than I had expected - particularly because we were beginners without any experience in glass! The colour choices were extensive, laid back class style, and Merryl was so lovely, informative, and approachable. We both really enjoyed spending the morning together, glass bowl making and will have something to always remember it!
Thank you Merryl and team!

The class was great! I love learning new things and Merryl explained the whole fusing glass system so I clearly understood. Everyone was friendly and I’ll definitely be going back.

Carmel Dalton Feb 2021


Lots of different options to make!
All materials provided, I was able to choose the colors.
Step by step clear instructions.
Teacher monitored the work I did providing reinforcement and suggestions.
I was able to complete the mosaic!

My friends and I had a wonderful time. Fleur was very sweet and informative. She helped us throughout the class to make our glass pieces. It was a lot of fun!

Anita Little Feb 2021


The teacher was great! She gave us a short explanation then asked us about our ideas then helped each of us to bring the ideas to reality. We had so many colours of glass and materials available. It was so fun to be learning and doing something totally different from our normal lives. Totally recommend it to anyone.

Noella Johnson Feb 2021


I thoroughly enjoyed my glass fusion class from 5 to 8 pm yesterday, with Merryl.
A private class of 4 enabled us to enough assistance without rushing. Merryl made us welcome and clearly explained what we could expect to achieve and the science behind the process. There were plenty of pieces on display or in the photo albums to help decide on what to make in the beginners class.
The equipment was on hand and we were shown how to safely use it as glass is sharp! We all had glasses on (not unusual as we are aged between 74 & 79) to protect our eyes.
We were guided as to what glass to use, that once in the kiln, would have the best effect. There were plenty of colours to choose from.
Thanks for a most enjoyable class. I would encourage anyone who likes trying different mediums of art to have a go.

Maryanne Grainger Jan 2021


The mosaic class was great and the teacher Merryl explained the process so well. It was amazing to see my creation at the end of the class. It was a fun day and worth the money.

I think the teacher was amazing, she was really nice and helpful. I think the class was interesting but I would like more designs. It was really fun to put colors together and create a jewelry piece.

David Kidd Jan 2021


My workshop today was a Christmas gift from my husband and I really enjoyed the experience. The time was 10am to 1pm but I didn’t finish my piece until 2.30pm and was not rushed at all which I really appreciated. Merryl’s workspace, materials and facilities are wonderful I plan to attend again.

Thank you for the mosaic class. The class was wonderful and i enjoyed it immensly. I loved working in a chilled out relaxing environment and the teachers were very helpful and friendly.

I have now made two pieces at Merryls Mosaics - the first in a formal class, and the second in a booked session with assistance where needed.
The studio is great - very relaxed and welcoming and there is a huge range of glass available.

I thoroughly recommend the experience!

Julie Valetic Dec 2020


Excellent, enjoyable, friendly & informative class with a beautiful, welcoming, relaxed & supportive energy in a modern, well-equipped, spacious, light & airy studio

Different skill levels merge seamlessly in the same class & everyone was free to express & develop their own unique creativity.

Meryl is a very giving artist as well as a highly skilled instructor & couldn’t be more helpful.

Highly recommended - very worthwhile class, excellent value for money, nurturing environment in a great creative space.

Lila Azouz Nov 2020


This was an amazing workshop and found the teacher to be very knowledgeable. I never tried glass fusion before but was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it and it sparked the desire to do more. The location is great, the materials are all supplied and did not see the time fly. It is an added bonus that I get to go home with a plate that I made.

Libia Machado Nov 2020


It was a great experience. Merryl and Ursula are great teachers. I did not have any mosaic experience and now I feel more confident to start some projects on my own. Highly recommended

Diya Abraham Nov 2020


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.

See you soon

Sylvia Souliotis Jul 2020


Great venue. Great teachers. So incredibly therapeutic. Had an absolute ball. I’m not creative and can’t even draw a stick figure but pulled off a beautiful mosaic without ever having done a class prior to this one. Thank you Merryl and team at Merryl’s Mosaic

Ashleigh Prause Feb 2020


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!

There was an amazing variety of materials provided to choose from and lots of encouragement along the way. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. Definitely looking forward to our next project.

Helene Pype Nov 2019


Good value for money. Great variety of materials to choose from and enough tools for everyone. The teacher, Meryl, was able to give clear instruction and individual advice; supportive without being intrusive. The atmosphere was friendly and informal, strangers quickly becoming chatty with each other. Everyone completed a piece to take home and everyone seemed very happy with their own project and admiring of others’. My friends and I enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and are genuinely pleased with the items we made. It was far more successful than anticipated for an absolute beginner like myself. I highly recommend this course.
