I had the pleasure of attending Flick's mosaic workshop recently, for my second project. I thoroughly enjoyed creating my new mosaic with Flick's guidance and am thrilled with the result. The workshop is a magical place, filled with colour and inspiration, where time flies and works of art come together. I highly recommend a visit.

This is the third time I have visited Flick’s wonderful workshop, this time with my eldest daughter Alys. We had a fun and very absorbing morning making bees. Once again we were expertly guided by Flick and are so pleased with the results. On my second visit with my youngest daughter Aimèe I came away with 2 beautiful birds. All of my creations are now on display in my kitchen.
Thanks again Flick. In the words of Arnie Schwarzenegger, I’ll be back.
So, I’ve completed my first project piece and I’m so, so happy with how it has turned out. Flick has provided advice and enthusiasm for my creation at every step of the way, supplemented by plenty of coffee, chatting and fabulous singalong playlists! I’m absolutely delighted with it, how nice it’s going to look in my garden! Thank you so much, Flick, I’m already buzzing about my next one…

I had a lovely morning on a half day course with Flick . Learning all about mosaics and being expertly guided to produce this teapot stand . Her studio is a thing of beauty with loads of choice of things to make and products to use . Would highly recommended a class to anyone who fancies having a go at mosaics.

I spent a lovely couple of hours with my friend at Flick's mosaic wonderland last Saturday. The choice of medium to use was gobsmacking. I was particularly interested in using vintage china and enjoyed cutting flowers from teacups and trying to flatten them onto my mosaic. So much choice, guided by a knowledgeable and steady hand. I wholeheartedly recommend!
Sarah - November 2024
Thank you for another fabulous mosaic session. I loved my relaxing morning with my friend, learning a new skill and I'm so happy with the results. Nothing was too much trouble for Flick and her calm and attentive manner was perfect. I can highly recommend it.
Jane - November 2024
Thank you Flick for your warm welcome and encouragement. This is my first mosaic and I loved creating it. You are an inspiration and have given me the confidence to be creative and try my own design. I am hoping it will be the first mosaic of many and I look forward to developing my skills in your workshops. Also, thanks to my bestie Sarah for gifting me this half day session and accompanying me. xx

Myself and a friend did an afternoon workshop with Flick recently. It was amazing what we managed to produce in the time. Flick was so welcoming and well organised and the session progressed at exactly the right pace for each of us.
I’m absolutely delighted with my swallow mosaic, which is chiefly the result of Flick’s skilful guidance and thoughtfully equipped studio.
I can’t wait to return and try my hand at something else!

This was such a lovely, creative way to spend an afternoon. Flick made us feel so welcome in her home. She was a great host, so helpful and supportive with tips and ideas. The range of materials she has is amazing, every colour you can imagine! I really enjoyed my experience and would love to go back!
Laura - June 2024
I had a wonderful time with friends at Flick's workshop. It is equipped with more things than you can imagine! Anything is possible! Flick is a wonderful and patient guide to mosaicing, offering lots of encouragement and inspiration. I would highly recommend and can't wait to come back.
I recently attended one of Flick's workshops. It was a great day full of learning & advice. Her wonderful calm nature along with her beautiful creations all around me, was just what I needed to boost confidence and just have a go. Can't wait to attend again and use my new found skills. I highly recommend Flick's workshops.

I went for a full day course and had a fantastic day. Flick is a fantastic teacher and her knowledge of ceramic mosaics was amazing. With her guidance I managed to produce a wonderful cockerel with lovely tail feathers made from plates. Fully recommend having a go at one of her workshops.

I am new to mosaics but I was able to produce this! Flick’s small, informal workshops are great for exploring creativity with every colour, shape and type of tile you could imagine! I thoroughly enjoy attending and creating under Flick’s expert yet calm guidance. I highly recommend you give it a go! Thank you!
Maren - April 2024
"Had a fabulous day crafting with Flick, making a bird bath (full day workshop). Flick has a beautiful studio with everything you could want to make your mosaic and lots of her own work on the walls, in her garden, etc. to take inspiration from.
The day was relaxed and Flick was around to offer her expertise, explaining techniques whilst also looking after us with tea and biscuits. We thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and look forward to going back to grout our pieces."

My friend and I went to Flick’s mosaics class and spent a lovely relaxing few hours getting in touch with our creative side!
Flick is very knowledgeable, informative and easy to get on with. We were both delighted with our efforts and would thoroughly recommend you try it!
Debbie - January 2024
Hi Flick, I just wanted to write and thank you for such a lovely day on Monday. We all went home really pleased with what we had achieved. Your expert but very patient and friendly tuition and guidance was perfectly tailored to our needs as complete mosaic novices.
Your studio was warm and comfortable and the endless supply of hot drinks and biscuits very welcome. We appreciated being able to bring our own ideas to the day rather than having a prescribed project to complete. As a result we have all made our own unique pieces of art. Mosaic making is definitely addictive and I’m sure we will be back for more.
Helen - January 2024
Well what a fabulous mosaic course yesterday, it was such fun. We were all so pleased with our results which were achieved only with Flick's expert guidance and patience. She went at a perfect pace to suit everyone's needs and our expectations for the day were far exceeded. It was a great way to celebrate a birthday I shall definitely be back. Thank you so much.

Here is my gecko climbing the wall! Thank you for an absolutely brilliant day.It was really absorbing and thoroughly enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone!
Sarah and Chloe - January 2024
My daughter and I had a wonderful morning creating our mosaic pieces. Flick's instructions were just right to get us started and into the flow of it. The three hours flew by. Flick helped us along the way and we're really pleased with our results. Thank you for being such a great host and for an enjoyable experience. We will be back!
Louise, Barbara & Carolyn - January 2024
Thank you for such a lovely day, most of which was happily lost in occupational flow. Your studio is inspiring and super organised. Thank you for the easy-to-understand clear instructions and for encouraging us to be independently creative. We loved your enthusiasm and guidance, and also really appreciated you sharing your artistic flair and in depth knowledge of your stock with us, both of which enhanced our pieces. A perfect day. We are buzzing with excitement about getting our pieces back after grouting.
Angela - November 2023
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Flick's studio. She was patient, flexible and informative and guided me thoughtfully in the direction I wanted to take. Flick provided access to a wonderful range of china and glass and completed the experience with great jazz background music.
What a perfect day! Mum and I were made to feel welcome and very much at ease by Flick from the minute she opened the door to her studio. The studio itself is a wonderful space to generate creative ideas. Colourful materials and stunning mosaics by Flick, embellish the maker space.
Every effort was made to accommodate our personal preferences from initial correspondence to the resources waiting for us when we arrived. Throughout the day, Flick gave clear guidance and demonstrations of the processes used when making mosaics from pottery and broken china. Her friendly approach and encouragement made the making an absolute pleasure. Both mum and I are delighted with what we have been able to make, and our mosaics will be a memory of a very special experience. Thank you so much, Flick for being a great teacher and host

Last week I spent a lovely informative morning with Flick at MoonChild Mosaics. There are loads of beautiful ceramic products to select from. You will be inspired by all Flick’s beautiful work around her studio. Nothing was too much trouble. Good background music as well as plenty of refreshments during the morning.

Myself, my sister Sue and niece Natalie attended a Saturday morning class recently. Not only was it in extremely pleasant surroundings of the studio, it was fabulous to spend a most enjoyable morning with my family members doing something creative with expert guidance.
Flick made us feel instantly welcome, put us at ease and gave us all the information, safety and otherwise to begin creating! I was extremely pleased with my sunflower trivet and cannot wait to book and visit again to add to my collection.
Fiona - November 2023
Just spent a fabulous morning with Flick Gillett at MoonChild Mosaics. Huge range of vintage china to use plus lots of inspiration from Flick's own mosaics on the walls. Coffee and biscuits supplied just when you need it and plenty of encouragement. Most excellent experience.
Jan & Fern - November 2023
"Flick was warm and welcoming to her lovely well lit and organised studio. Plenty of choice of project, safety guidance and helpful instruction received.
A fabulous and absorbing afternoon, with drinks & biccies and an 80's soundtrack playing ... couldn't have been better ! My daughter and I are delighted with our finished fish and snail. Many thanks to Flick for such a great and thoroughly recommended afternoon "
Elspeth - October 2023
Had a fantastic day making a mosaic with a friend. Flick is a really patient teacher and guided us, discreetly, so that she did not interfere with either the fun, or the relaxed mood. She offered us the choice of designing our own mosaic (in advance) or using a wide selection of templates. The choice of tiles and glass is amazing,and must have taken years of collecting to achieve! All the tools are available to use and the china, glue, glass beads, or whatever you choose to use, are included in the price. A choice of background music, lots of teas and coffees .... and all in all, an excellent experience.
Although I really loved making a mosaic, I have neither the tools, space, enormous choice of tiles or personal tutor at home, so I'm looking forward to booking another day next year!! I would definitely recommend a mosaic class with Flick.
Sam - October 2023
A friend bought us both a day at Moonchild Mosaics as a birthday gift..what a brilliant idea, a day I'll always remember ❤!
We had a fantastic time, so much fun! Flick's workshop has every type of tile, glass, china in every colour under the sun. I decided to make a house number to match the colours in my garden, and it does 😊.
The day started with an introduction showing us where everything was and how to safely use the tools and equipment. The workshop is amazing and Flick guided us through each stage, there is nothing she doesn't know about mosaics.
We both had a fantastic time and came away with very professional looking mosaics. We have already booked to go back again, can HIGHLY recommend to anyone interested in mosaics or who just wants a fun day doing something a bit different.
Patsy - October 2023
When my friend and I came on Monday for our day's course we had no idea what to expect in any way, shape or form. We were met with a very friendly smile and greeting and felt at home immediately in a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere surrounded by so much china, tiles and glass with all the amazing pieces on the walls to give us inspiration. Whilst we looked around to try and decide what we wanted to make, a lovely cuppa was supplied, and more browsing went on. There are so many things to inspire that I would recommend before anyone goes they have a basic idea of what they want to make.
We had a wonderful day and learned so much and everything was explained carefully so we knew what we were doing. Between us we tried glass, tiles and ceramic and on wood and slate bases. We left feeling we had made a new friend so when we went back to grout our pieces there was no trepidation and we absolutely loved the whole experience. I am considering getting one for a crafty friend's birthday, she would love it and I could go back to play again.
Thank you Flick for one of the best days out I have had for ages
My friend and I attended a full day mosaics course with Flick. You can make whatever you like. There is an abundance of tiles, porcelain and ideas for you to choose from and Flick will guide and teach you on every aspect required to complete your piece of work. I can highly recommend this course and I will definitely be back to do more, it is so satisfying and therapeutic. Thank you Flick, you’re a star 🌟.
Bev - September 2023
I've just done a 3 hour workshop with Flick and I absolutely loved it!! Having never tried my hand at mosaics before, Flick explained everything really well and was always on hand for guidance! I'll definitely be going back and learning more ....what a fantastic way to spend an afternoon!!

I've made two mosaics now under the supervision and guidance of Flick, first was my bowling ball which looking back now was a bit of a challenge for my first attempt but Flick provided the help and guidance enabling me to create my unique addition to my garden. Flick has an amazing studio filled to the ceiling with tiles, crockery and everything needed to create the perfect mosaic. Flick is really patient, she provides clear instructions and is always approachable if you need her help, but she also allows you space to make your mosaic the way you want to. I'm just about to make my third piece as it's definitely addictive and I love spending time in the space that Flick has created to enable me and others to mosaic
I loved attending the class Flick ran, it was friendly, fun and informal! Lots of beautiful china crockery to work with and helpful advice along the way. Plenty of refreshments with cake an added bonus. I would definitely recommend.
