China Petals

Where Creativity Blooms

Hi, I'm Diane the owner and creative behind China Petals. I've been making mosaic for a number of years and love the idea of turning something old and unwanted into something beautiful and treasured again.

It all started one Christmas when my husband went into the attic to bring down the decorations.

While he was up there he found a box of broken, chipped and unwanted bits of china. 'Do something with it or throw it away' he said. I couldn't bear to throw it away because it was so pretty so I turned it into mosaic!

I now work from a studio in Derby and have taught many people how to make mosaic through my workshops and kits.

I design and put together, the China Petal mosaic kits myself with the beginner or novice 'mosaicker' in mind. I want everyone to enjoy the process and make a mosaic they can be proud of.
