You may already have taken a peek at our latest Course Notes feature, where craft journalist Clare Kelly visited the London studio of Smashing Chintz and learnt how to make a mosaic mirror, but I just couldnt resist adding a few more of Clare’s beautiful photos here.
They show the mosaic work of Smashing Chintz founder Janine Nelson who combines fragments of old discarded china with vintage plates to create stunning new pieces. Janine says that chintzy fabric and china have suffered from a poor image in recent years, but now she’s on a quest to bring chintz into the 21st century in a new, slightly quirky way. From the photos below, I’d say she’s definitely succeeded!
