• 5/5 from Becky, attended Sep 2024: 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 which already hold pride of place in the garden. I made the butterfly and my daughter made the teardrop. We both feel very accomplished having been able to do this. Ali is so very knowledgeable about all things “ glass”, and didn’t mind how many questions we asked. She even presented us with a homemade batch of Portuguese tarts for morning tea. Delicious! I’m so happy we did this course and have no hesitation recommending Merlin Mosaica. Thankyou Ali for giving me the interest to want to pursue this further.
• 5/5 from Kelly Fitzsimmons, attended Sep 2024: 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 freedom to have a go yourself. A fun way to spend the weekend!
• 4/5 from Marianne Bookallil, attended Sep 2024: An enjoyable weekend course. The teacher was informative and helpful. There were lots of tiles in every colour imaginable to choose from and we all produced a mosaic garden stake.
