I became fascinated with mosaic while working in a school in North London and after studying mosaic under renowned mosaic artist Elaine Goodwin at Whitechapel art gallery in 1993, I returned to Ireland to start making my own mosaic pieces to sell at The Design Yard in Temple Bar , Dublin. I have also run numerous workshops across a range of age groups, abilities and circumstances, from school children to adult education and community groups. My recent Kingsbridge community mosaic project was funded by National Lottery and took a year to complete, encompassing workshops in 10 local schools and diverse community groups within the local catchment area.
What I love most about teaching mosaic to others is the joy and therapeutic pleasure that everyone gains from taking part, no matter what age or background.
If you are interested in running a mosaic project or workshop with your school, business or community, please get in touch to discuss the possibilities.
