Workshops
I run an inspirational Mosaic Workshop Programme from my studio, and an annual residential mosaic course in Italy. Workshops can be designed for small groups at the studio and for organisations. I have delivered workshops for the Craft Scotland ‘Meet Your Maker’ programme, National Museums Scotland and The Living Memory Association as well as for educational establishments, including Edinburgh College of Art, The University of Edinburgh, and Leith School of Art.
If you would like to discuss a mosaic workshop for your organisation or group please get in touch.

Elements of Place – Formed by Fire
Co-tutored by Andrea Spencer and Joanna Kessel, 5 – 9 May 2025, Benefield Spencer Glass, Ballintoy, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. “Elements of Place – Formed by Fire is a five day flameworking and micro-mosaic workshop aimed at practicing glass and mosaic...
Wonderful knowledgeable tutors who gave of their all.
I wanted to see how I could use transparent glass filati in sculptural work and I achieved that when I made the filati and embedded them in the concrete.
Andrea’s studio set up was so good for the flamework, pulling the filati was so absorbing!
Location was great and for the mosaic artists especially the coastline was superb for our foraging trip.
Having the lunch on site was great and I loved the food. The evening dinners were also great and gave us time to learn what each other had done during the day.
Loved seeing the presentation of everyone’s work and the feedback at the end of the workshop.
I had very little experience with casting concrete or plaster, so was somewhat surprised at the simplicity of the technique required to create such amazing results.
A description of the workshop would not be complete without mentioning two of the best parts—the camaraderie among the students and the delicious food provided by an artist friend of Andrea’s. The fabulous meals made from farm-fresh local ingredients helped to fuel the friendships which developed over the week. All in all, an amazing five days!
