“Nathalie’s teaching style is just perfect. In fact I would describe her style more that of an enthusiastic and incredibly experienced coach. Nathalie is quick to work alongside you embracing your ideas but giving them soul as well as body! Nathalies works are awesome and totally inspirational. To work in her studio surrounded by many of these works of art and with the creator herself was simply ‘mind-blowing.”
“I really enjoyed your workshop and I learned so much. I feel that I was able to accomplish more in the day I spent with you than I would have been able to achieve in a taking a series of classes. Your workshop offers amazing chance gain one-on-one assistance and insight. Your workshop really has inspired me to take up mosaics”
“Having just returned from a two day (one to one) mosaic workshop with Nathalie I very much wanted to give some feedback on my experience, which I hope is helpful for others considering group or ‘one to one’ tuition.
Nathalie’s teaching style is just perfect. In fact I would describe her style more that of an enthusiastic and incredibly experienced coach. Nathalie is quick to work alongside you embracing your ideas but giving them soul as well as body!
In the two days we covered many different mosaic techniques and Nathalie was supportive and incredibly patient at all times.
I felt I learnt so much from Nathalie but that I am at the very beginning of a mosaic journey where there is so much more to learn.
Nathalies works are awesome and totally inspirational. To work in her studio surrounded by many of these works of art and with the creator herself was simply ‘mind-blowing’. Thank-you Nathalie. I do hope we will meet again.”
“Thank you so much for a lovely day on Saturday – I really enjoyed it. I have also looked up your supplier and have ordered my first batch of things. Am looking forward to my next little project.
I can recommend this course to anyone – I think this has been an ideal day out and I feel I have learnt enough to now go ahead and try this at home.”
“Thank you so much for the wonderful day yesterday! I feel very lucky to have found my way to the door of such a gifted mosaic instructor and genuine person. I can only recommend the friendly atmosphere and generous encouragement, and found the calm attention and focus with which you supported me in my work allowed me to not only complete a beautiful mosaic but in the process be relaxed and be myself. The food you prepared was fantastic. Thanks also for sharing this special venue, your materials, ideas and knowledge.”
“What a wonderfully enjoyable weekend I had at your workshop. As you know, I was quite nervous beforehand but everyone was so friendly, and the whole atmosphere was relaxed and fun, I could not have asked for more. You and your work are truly inspiring, I cannot thank you enough for instilling in me the confidence to make my dream of making mosaics come true.
I’m sure I will be in touch again in the future once I have made something else, as I will want to show everybody!! I am busy working on more designs already!!”
“I wanted to thank you so much for the workshop, you are such a brilliant
teacher and I feel we packed so much into one day. I’m so excited to get
making stuff!”
“Nathalie, Thanks for a wonderful, inspiring day! In short span of time, I learnt so much and feel I am now capable of creating a piece all on my own. Will keep you updated on my progress.
Thanks also for your support and ideas. I would definitely recommend your classes to anyone who has an interest in Mosaic.”
“I really enjoyed the mosaic course that I did at Nathalie’s house. It was a very relaxing environment and Nathalie was an extremely enthusiastic and encouraging teacher ( For someone who is not very artistic such as myself, she was great as she gave me some confidence to create something special). I got a lot out of this course and have since then bought my own tools and materials to make my own creations at home. I thouroughly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning to make mosaic in fun environment.”
“Before I attended Natalie’s mosaic workshop, I thought I didn’t have a creative bone in my body. Natalie has inspired me to explore my artistic side through her wonderful support, enthusiasm and encouragement. She was so helpful and I am so proud of my finished product! Thanks Natalie!”
“Honestly I am thanking you for the brilliant day we
had with you on the mosaic course, I thoroughly enjoyed it and haven’t
laughed that hard in a while actually. (and I know everyone felt the
same here). Overall, I felt the complete day was a huge success, I could honestly
not fault a thing apart from my patience running out a tiny bit towards
the end. I think that its great that it is a small group as well because its so much easier, nicer and you are able to give more advice and training than you would be able to in a large group. You have so many materials etc which is perfect and the lunch was perfect, definitely a brilliant and delicious touch. It is definitely worth the money and we all said that it kinda revived all our tastes for creating practical art again.”
“The two days were fantastic, I learnt everything I wanted to plus extra and I can’t stop looking at my finished “masterpiece”! The lunch and the atmosphere were lovely. I can’t believe you did the whole thing within weeks of moving house and with a four-month-old baby!
The weekend just flew by, I want to do it all again. Except for the three and a half hour traffic jam we got stuck in on the way home, but that’s a whole other story..!”
“The workshop was thoroughly enjoyable, I had never tried mosaic art before so was a bit apprehensive when I signed up, but I am very glad I did. You created a very relaxed informal atmosphere, which along with your guidance made it easy to learn. The workshop gave me so much confidence that I went out the next weekend and bought myself all the tools I needed to start work on my own. I am now close to completing my first piece and intend on carrying on with this for a long time to come!”
“I really really enjoyed the workshop the other day - I said to my husband when I got home that I felt like I’d been on a two week holiday...I felt like I hadn’t been at home for months - I felt totally relaxed. It was such a luxury to spend some time being myself rather than a teacher, interpreter, mother or wife. My gorgeous tiles have taken pride of place on my mantlepiece and have attracted lots of positive comments. I’m feeling slightly obsessed with arts and crafts now and have even resurrected my cross stitch!!”
“I really enjoyed the workshop last weekend, I thought it was
excellent, and I will be keen to do another in the future. Thank you
for your time and expertise.”
“What a lovely way to spend a weekend - a nice group of people, a calm and relaxed atmosphere and such a generous array of beautiful materials to work with...and very nice lunches too! I must say it was the nicest workshop of any kind that I have been on. You are such a supportive teacher. We all came away with such fantastic pieces. My mosaic is now hanging in my bathroom and it looks great. You’ve given me the confidence to continue with more projects. Many, many thanks. ”
“I really enjoyed the one-day mosaic workshop - it managed to be relaxing and stimulating at the same time. Nathalie is an excellent teacher who quickly assesses the people in her class and works to their individual strengths, making it a very enjoyable day for everyone. I’d highly recommend this workshop!”
“I am now back in Belgium and full of inspiration, have already placed an order to buy all the necessary material! Thank you so much for making the weekend course so enjoyable and informative. ”
“I also wanted to say how much I enjoyed the course, it was really fun and I feel like I learned loads. I’m looking forward to getting some kit and having a go at some simple projects at home, and perhaps when I have had some more practice I can do another course too. Thank you so much for giving up your weekend to help us all make beautiful things!”
“The Mosaic workshop was a very good insight into the Mosaic world. I now really appreciate the work involved. Thank you to Nathalie for going the extra mile and helping me making my project come to life. ”
“I really enjoyed the one-day mosaic workshop - it managed to be relaxing and stimulating at the same time. Nathalie is an excellent teacher who quickly assesses the people in her class and works to their individual strengths, making it a very enjoyable day for everyone. I’d highly recommend this workshop!”
“I spend a lovely day with Nathalie and few other like-minded people. It was very interesting to talk with someone who does mosaics for living and be invited to their home. Nathalie was very encouraging in bringing out the creativity in our own individual ways and styles. I can highly recommend this workshop for anyone interested in exploring their creativity.”
“So much for a wonderful, inspiring day. Brilliant, couldn’t have been better!”
“I would highly recommend Nathalie’s mosaic workshop to anyone, whether you think of yourself as an arty person or not. She explained everything perfectly, i.e. deciding on a suitable pattern (we looked through heaps of books for inspiration) and while completing the mosaic itself. I chose to do my mosaic on a picture frame. I was able to complete it in the way I wanted to, and Nathalie was there for assistance and to help with suggestions. I am now planning to take mosaics up as a hobby and Nathalie has given me the skills I need to do it on my own. Nathalie is so approachable, friendly and easy going, couldn’t ask for a better teacher!”
“It was just what I was looking for and succeeded in filling me with the enthusiasm necessary to continue mosaics at home. I found the course very absorbing, and if I was unduly quiet from time to time it was because I was concentrating so hard!
I now have the supplies to enable me to start a project. These were obtained from Barbara in Canterbury as you recommended who is very helpful.”
“Just wanted to say thank you again for the great time I had in the workshop, and for teaching me how to create mosaic art. I came looking to learn the basic techniques, which I feel confident I now know, but the workshop was much more than that. I was inspired by your work, and by the work of the other ‘students’ in the workshop. I’m now creating mosaic art at home, and it has become a passion! I only wish I had started doing it earlier...This is something I feel is a great outlet for my creativity and love of colours, and it is also so relaxing and therapeutic. Mosaic art making is something I’m going to try and pursue as much as I can, and I’m hoping (dreaming...?) of cutting down my working hours so that I have more time for making my mosaic art. In a way, the workshop changed my life by releasing this creative passion!”
“Nathalie’s mosaic workshop was an inspiration. She taught in a clear, sensitive and unobtrusive fashion, encouraging and guiding the student all the way. I was delighted with the results and feel that I now have a hobby for life. She inspired me to go on to create further mosaics and has even offered to help me to fix my mosaic to the wall of my house. Even the lunch provided was fantastic. I thoroughly recommend this workshop. It has taught me that even those of us without a background in art can create beautiful works of art.”
“Brian and I both thoroughly enjoyed the course and would recommend it to anyone. You provide gorgeous tiles and your own work was inspirational to us. You were extremely helpful and gave us a marvelous lunch. Thank you. We shall both continue to work on mosaic projects now - in fact I went to IKEA yesterday and bought some plain wooden boxes, including a key holder box, which will be our next projects before we start on something totally ambitious in Spain - Brian wants to do an entire mosaic bench!”
“What a lovely way to spend a weekend - a nice group of people, a calm and relaxed atmosphere and such a generous array of beautiful materials to work with...and very nice lunches too! I must say it was the nicest workshop of any kind that I have been on. You are such a supportive teacher. We all came away with such fantastic pieces.
My mosaic is now hanging in my bathroom and it looks great. You’ve given me the confidence to continue with more projects. Many, many thanks.”
“The mosaic course was great fun and a brilliant way to spend the day. I had no experience within mosaics whatsoever and within a few hours I was feeling confident and my creative juices were flowing. Nathalie took the time to explain the basics and then gave the class some handy tips that she had picked up through her many years of working with mosaics. Overall a great experience and I have no hesitation in recommending
Nathalie’s mosaic classes.”
“Thanks so much for yesterday’s workshop. I really enjoyed it. The workshop was really good. I knew nothing before, but with your permanent encouragement, sound advice and help, I just enjoyed the day as never thought I would really... also, it was great to complete a mosaic piece during the day and take it home!. I will be taking a picture of the piece later today or tomorrow and will send it to you. It was a real pleasure to meet you. Thanks for your Paris’ tips, and hopefully after I sort out my home problems, will contact you again to learn another bit more..”
“I had a fantastic and relaxing weekend.
I really enjoyed the format at your house, it felt very comfortable and relaxing and was inspiring to see your pieces. Also lovely lunch, good choice of materials and styles, and good creative advice. ”
