I want to say that the day was fantastic! I found Lawrence to be an excellent tutor, explaining the history of mosaics and the constructive process carefully, in a friendly and creative environment. The resulting mosaic will be a treasured reminder of an informative and fascinating day.

"I really got a lot out of the Introductory workshop. I've done a couple of mosaic classes before elsewhere, but never learnt any rules - learning the rules makes all the difference! Many thanks, Lawrence. I hope to come to another of your workshops later in the year."
