“Jenni was a very warm and welcoming person who most definitely has a love of the crafts she teaches. Nothing was too much trouble especially when I was a little too enthusiastic about the size of mosaic I started with. Even though Jenni had explained how long a mosaic can take to do I chose a big square to attempt my design but realised 3 hrs in that I definitely wasn't going to finish it in time so decided to cut around my design so at least I could take a finished piece home. Jenni had offered for me to finish it at home however not having access to the tools needed to cut the tiles I knew this wasn't an option. My advice therefore is listen to Jenni and what she advises. My daughter and I had a lovely time and the 4 hours definitely flies by in being engrossed in the craft alongside enjoying pleasant conversation.”

“I really enjoyed the class! It was my first time trying mosaics and Jenni made my mum and I feel very welcome. There were lots of options of things we could create and I loved the freedom to try what we wanted. If I had any questions Jenni was very helpful and the time flew by. Looking forward to going back in the future and bringing some of my friends!”

“My sisters, Mum and I had a wonderful afternoon making mosaics at Parkway Arts today. Jenny was a friendly, knoedgeable and patient teacher and we all produced mosaics we were proud of. We didn't have time to grout our pieces but Jenny is going to kindly arrange an online session for us to do this - as we aren't all local to the area. Highly recommend this class for value for money and a fabulous experience.”
