Workshop Testimonials

Christine is not just an incredibly talented artist, she’s an incredible teacher. I’ve never thought of myself as artistic, but Christine creates a supportive, encouraging environment for all of her students and she helped me tap my creativity in new ways. When the course started, I was hesitant about design, nervous about choosing the colors. By the end, I came away with a beautiful mosaic and a lot more artistic confidence. In fact, I’m about to start making mosaics in my own workshop at home. So if you’re thinking about taking a mosaic course with Christine, here’s my advice: just stop thinking and sign up…now. It’s so much fun.

I learned much more than I ever expected. Not only about mosaics, but about my creative abilities. I went into the class thinking I had none, but Christine pushed me to think outside the box and develop some creativity.

-K.G. Florence, MA

I wanted to try mosaics for some time but that judging voice about not being an “artist” held me back. I finally decided to take the leap and try a class with Christine. The way she guides her classes with the perfect balance of instruction, guidance and positive feedback all while providing space for your own process allowed me to let go into the pleasure of creating without a peep from that judging voice. I just completed my third class with her and not only do I like my pieces, but I plan on going back for more!
