I’m Nicola Upton, a mosaic artist based in Leigh-on-Sea; I call myself Mrs Mosaic! I trained in 3D glass design back in the 90’s and I use my knowledge and experience to create work encompassing kiln-fused glass, stained glass, traditional mosaic and mixed media pieces incorporating glass. I love to experiment and play with materials and sometimes like to use ceramics & sea glass found on beach foraging. I feel blessed to live close to the coast in the little fishing town of Leigh on Sea, Essex. I work in a snug log cabin studio at the end of my garden, where I also deliver one-off workshops and classes in mosaics and stained glass. I always have a steady stream of students but can offers flexible times and days to suit those interested in having a taste of these challenging and rewarding art forms. For example, a 2-hour workshop with a few friends to celebrate a special occasion or a course to develop your skill into a long-term hobby. What I find most satisfying is meeting a complete beginner and taking them on a journey of discovery to find the best way for that person to achieve an original piece of work in mosaics, rather than copying a pattern of what someone else has already created. I often hear people say, “I’m not creative” or “I can’t draw” and delight in proving them wrong. I love to find out what makes people tick and get them to explore their creativity, leaving with a truly original piece of work which means something to them, and proves that with the right approach we are all creative.

This session was a fantastic intro to stained glass, and Nicola was an amazing teacher. We had such a fun time and were really proud of our finished pieces. We’d love to take another class!

Nicola put on a bespoke session for us and was flexible to accommodate our dates. The session was fun, informative and productive. The three of us were chuffed with our copper foil mushrooms

Yesterday I went to Mrs Mosaic to learn how to cut glass and make glass mushrooms.
It was a really nice experience, as Nicola goes through each stage of the process explaining the tools/equipment you need and how to use them.
She was very patient and we didn’t proceed until we had learnt each step.
It was a really enjoyable morning and I look forward to trying something else with her.

Such a great course! I had an amazing time learning mosaics. Nicola was so supportive, the class was well organised, and it was both fun and inspiring. I left feeling creative and confident. Highly recommended!

Reply from Mrsmosaicart
Nicola explained everything in detail and no question was too small to answer. She let us explore our colour scheme but guided us on how to use it. I have never made a mosaic before and Nicola has made it a none daunting experience. Nicola brings out the artist in you . I have learned a lot in my three week course and if you are into learning a new craft I would highly recommend.

Ciaran and I had a fantastic morning in Nicola’s studio learning to create copperfoiled mushrooms. Nicola is lovely and was very patient with a pair of novices, sharing her knowledge and helping us. We came away with 3 beautiful mushroom decorations and loads of great memories. We definitely want to do another session! Thank you Nicola

Would definitely recommend and go again myself !

Well organised, friendly atmosphere, clear instructions and extremely kind consideration of our varying abilities! The mulled wine and mince pies were a great bonus. Thank you for helping us celebrate a special birthday.

Nicola was very friendly and knowledgeable, so that we came away very happy with what we had produced.
Felt like I have learnt a lot and would love to do some more classes/workshops with her!
Nicola always delivers great classes full of technical details and advice to continue improving our work. The classes have a friendly and sociable atmosphere. Top marks from me!!!!
Lovely, friendly environment to learn mosaic in. Course was split over 3 mornings so plenty of time to learn and create.
Have known Nicola for a long time and learnt a lot from her.
She is a very hands on friendly approachable teacher and guides you well in mosaics and stained glass classes.
Today I did the copperfoil mushrooms and although tricky very delighted with the outcome. Lots of various processes to make them which adds to the fun of the class.
You can relax unwind and lose yourself in Nicola's log cabin.
Highly recommend 👌 👍 👏.
