Services

 We are keen to be accessible and affordable.  All of our courses are costed to be the cheapest but most effective to ensure that participants get the best possible.  

Mosaic workshops

 Bring those broken vases, plates and cups back to life again by learning the art of mosaics.  Running weekly or one off courses, join a course to suit your time commitments.   All materials provided will be suitable for internal and external decoration.  Guidance and tuition will be given on using tools and grout and all personal protection are provided. 

The children's courses are suitable for those aged 4 and above, who will be taught to use hammers and safety protection to produce mosaics to take home.  (Parents are encouraged to stay with children and work with them making it a nice family activity).  

All sessions are accessible to those with disabilities, mobility issues and sensory loss.  Adult sessions have been designed to allow those living with dementia and mental health illness to enjoy and participate.  

Stand alone courses can be offered across the West Midlands, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire with travel costs to be taken into account.  

Accessible Art and Crafts 

Disability, illness, grief, mental health illness, loneliness should not stop anybody from accessing something they want to do.  Over 90% of our courses are run in accessible venues for those with mobility issues.  Our current courses are designed for those living with dementia, anxiety, sight loss, hearing loss, age related illnesses and those trying to improve their Well Being.

Quotes from course participants

'My daughter attended the mosaic class.  Clear instructions, and well presented and friendly laid back atmosphere'

'I have crafted for years but never with others, my anxiety stops me doing things socially, I'll be coming on another course soon'

'My husband has Dementia and he looks forward to the classes, he laughs and he makes, everyone makes us feel welcome and if I need time to have a moment to myself I can'

'When my anxiety is rising my family get out my mosaic box as it gives me something to focus on, and I feel so much better.  I can miss weeks of classes due to my anxiety or other health problems, however I'm always welcomed back, so friendly and so supportive'.

'I might be blind, but my hands still work, its great to try new arts and crafts and push my own boundaries, I may get messy, I may spill the water, but I will have a giggle like a naughty school boy every week'

'I struggle with spoken instructions at times, my anxiety kicks in and I can't remember my left and rights.  The lino cutting course really pushed me out of my comfort zone, but Rachel took the time to enable me to catch up with everyone else, by demonstrating, step by step.  Pretty proud of the bag I produced'

'I think this is 1 million, trillion, I want to do it again.  I want to make another one for Mommy and (sister)'

'This was funny, I got dirty, I got messy, I got new friends'
