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.

It was a lovely, relaxing day. Learning something really interesting and new without feeling rushed - we were allowed to work to our own pace which was brilliant. Nicola is super friendly and accommodating, and really is an expert in understanding glass and how it behaves and explaining the equipment and traditional and more modern methods of stained glass making. Thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in taking up a new craft or expanding their knowledge of stained glass work.

We had a lovely morning with Nicola making a mosaic butterfly. Nicola is really friendly, welcoming & knowledgeable about crafts. We’re looking forward to going back for more workshops 😊

I had the best day making a stained glass panel with Nicola. She was a wonderful teacher and I’m delighted with the finished piece. I will definitely do more workshops with her in the future.

We had an amazing day making our stained glass panels. The tuition was perfectly paced for complete newbies, and every step was explained very clearly. The small class size (=2!) meant that we could have as much individual help as we needed with the various processes. Lovely venue, and really good value for money, especially given the stunning glass that we got to work with to make our pieces, and Nicola's years of experience that we were benefitting from. I will definitely be doing another class with her.

Had a lovely evening learning how to Mosaic. Friendly atmosphere and loads to choose from. Highly recommend. Thank you x
I had a fantastic day making a stained glass window with Nicolas guidance and expert skills. I loved learning a new craft and ended up giving it as a gift to my Mum on Mother's Day. She loved the gift so much, she said she might take a class herself.

Great work space. Nicola is a great teacher and host. Step by step explanations and help and advice as needed. Very welcoming and just generally lovely and bubbly. Will definitely go back for another course. This is my second one with Nicola

The process is so enjoyable, especially the cutting, and there were so many beautiful glass panels to choose from. We were guided step-by-step in friendly, relaxing surroundings and ended up with a gorgeous finished panel. Nicola offers a wide range of workshops for glass and mosaics, such a great way to experience the process, and I would highly recommend to anyone who fancies having a go!

Had a lovely evening making mosaic stars and welcoming Christmas in with mulled wine and fairy lights. Nicola was warm and welcoming and offered the perfect amount of freedom for creativity with expert steer when needed. I forgot that time was a thing while making. Bliss!

Had a lovely day with Nicola and my first time making a mosaic. Very patient teacher. Completed a mosaic which I love. Highly recommend.

Nicola is relaxed and friendly and makes helpful suggestions without being pushy. My sister, my daughter-in-law and I had a great time making our mosaic hearts - I highly recommend Mrs Mosaic!
With a friend I did a class with Nicola who made us feel really welcome. The class was organised,well prepared and the choice of materials were stimulating helping us both to produce quality hand made and unique items we were proud to own.

Reply from Mrsmosaicart
Had a very relaxed morning creating my very own mosaic star. I was amazed at the choice of ceramic / glass pieces available for this.
Cannot wait to add the finishing touches.
