Mosaic Workshop at The Sloane Club. I’m hosting a small, two-hour mosaic workshop at The Sloane Club on Saturday 25th April at 3pm, and I’ve been given a limited number of spaces to open up beyond the club.

During the session, you’ll create your own small mosaic piece to take home, inspired by the beautiful rugs currently on display as part of Woven Narratives - a month-long installation in collaboration with Thames Carpets.

It’s also a rare chance to step inside the club and experience this otherwise private exhibition, where craft, pattern and storytelling come together in a really special way.

Spaces are limited.

Message me for more details or to book a place - cost £15 per person.
