Watch this space.
Heart-centered creative workshops
for clarity, purpose, direction, meaning, self- expression,
self-acceptance, creativity, and goal setting.
Mosaics all began when I dabbled in mosaics as a creative way to entertain my small children. I discovered that my children delighted in making their own individual and unique garden stepping stones, and from there a grand passion for mosaicing was unleashed. When my children were older, I enrolled in a mosaics workshop. From there, I began to make mosaics as gifts for friends and family, create paid commission pieces, and start with workshops.
For more than 10 years, I have facilitated workshops for adults and children including mothers and sons, mothers and daughters, a daycare centre (kids 2-3 years old making tiles for the centre’s garden) an outreach programme for adults with disabilities and coached a student with her HSC project.

Workshop Feedback – here’s just a few testimonials –
“I can thoroughly recommend Mosaicworks’ Mosaic Mandala Workshop, held at The Creative Fringe, Penrith. Our wonderful teacher Clare Lavender, provided excellent step by step instruction which was great for a first-timer like myself. All items were provided. All I needed to do was turn up and have a desire to learn something new and have fun. In addition to the class, I had found out about The Creative Fringe through doing the Mosaic Workshop and was very impressed by the size and setup of the space provided. Definitely worth considering, if you run a small business and need a space to run it from.” Marie Anderson

Hi having been recently inspired on my trip to New Zealand when i visited the “The Giants House” within the home of the artist Josie Martin it is apparently considered to be a world famous sculpture mosaic garden. Wow what a joy and delight to see! I am excited to investigate the art of Mosaic as a new creative outlet and would like the information that i need to consider enrolling in a course with you. Regards Shirley
Thanks so much Shirley. How wonderful! I usually run weekend mosaic workshops. I can let you know as soon as I have the next one booked in and it will be posted here on the website.
Hello there, Do you have any mosaic classes happening in the Blue Mountains for term 4? We have 3 people who are interested.
Best wishes, Rennai.
Hello Rennai, thanks for your enquiry. Sorry, I don’t have any mosaic classes scheduled this year. I have decided to postpone any workshops for 2020 due to COVID. I will hold a workshop in the first term in 2021. This workshop will most likely be held at The Creative Fringe in Penrith. I will post the event here on my website as well as on social media. I can also email you the details. Best wishes, Clare
