Hi all, my second beginners class, learnt new techniques, used different glass & finishing products & went home with a new treat for my garden. The class is very informative, the teacher provide instruction and guidance. The venue is comfortable, clean and there are great snacks.

Merlin Mosaica's "Mosaic Garden Stake" course held on 1 & 2 March 2025 was wonderful. Ali has an extensive supply of glass and tiles to select from when making your piece, and vast experience with different mosaic media types. She's a great teacher, knowledgeable and patient, with great ideas to enhance + more

I recently did the stained glass on mirror mosaic course. I've never attempted anything like this before. The class was very informative, relaxed and I learnt a lot about colour, types of glass, techniques, tools, adhesives and finishes. The best part was after 1 & 1/2 days I had my very own piece finished + more

This class was absolutely wonderful. Ali at Merlin Mosaica is a fantastic teacher. She's very knowledgeable, patient and fun to be with. I learned so much and made a glass mosaic that I love and will treasure for ever. I can't wait for her next class. (P.S. My mosiac is on the right in the photo)

Just enjoyed an informative, enjoyable Christmas mosaic workshop with Alison, aka Merlin Mosaica. Came home with a gorgeous Christmas tree mosaic that will get pride of place at my front door. Thank you Alison. See you in the new year for another workshop.

This is the 2nd class I have done with Ali and she has proved, once again, what a super teacher she is. I enjoyed the class very much and look forward to taking another class with her soon. I would recommend anyone interested in learning mosaics, or returning to it, to take one of the many classes + more

My daughter and I kickstarted our week long crafty holiday with a Mosaic Garden Stake course with MerlinMosaica. Teacher Ali was very easy to learn from, and very patient (with me especially …I’m nearly 73). We both came away with a host of new skills, not to mention our lovely garden stakes + more

Kelly Fitzsimmons

I really enjoyed this class that Ally taught. It has definitely sparked an interest in learning more and working with glass / mosaics further. I highly recommend Merlin Mosaica as I found Ally to be very knowledgeable of the industry / materials as well as encouraging and supportive, whilst still allowing + more

Alison is generous with tips and advice but not intrusively so. She encourages creativity and reins in harebrained or difficult-to-execute ideas with equanimity!
