Wow Factor Mosaics

I have taken a couple classes with Carol. I am so happy to have found Wowfactor Mosaics! Carol is a great teacher and I have thoroughly enjoyed her classes!

I recently decided to have Carol create a mosaic which would incorporate some of my late wife Wendy's small rock and shell collection along with some personal items. Carol came to my house to see the decor and select a suitable place for her creation. I was thinking of a large piece for a front entrance wall adjacent to the front door. After giving me an idea of colours and an outline Carol recommended two pieces, one large and somewhat industrial in concept which complimented my existing decor on the main level. For the second and smaller mosaic I suggested a seascape theme for the more personal nature of the items Wendy had collected on our travels. I should emphasize that as Carol is the creative genius not me, I trusted her instinct and talents completely. The small piece was first viewed by me at Carol's studio. It is a stunningly beautiful and personal work of art. One ingenious touch by Carol was to scan a small picture of Wendy that I took on her 19th birthday and place it inside a small round plastic sphere and place it in a corner of the piece.This creation would be a joy for anyone to view even if they were not aware of the personal significance of it too me. As important, the larger mosaic is also stunningly unique and clearly a conversation piece. The variety of shapes and colours of the tile, stone. glass and man made materials incorporated in it is behind description. My first experience in commissioning Carol, a creative artist, to weave her talents for me, will not be the last.

I highly recommend Carol Donald of Wow Factor Mosaics to anyone who wants to have original artwork in their home. On a personal level Carol is a pleasure to talk to and meet with. The installation of the two pieces was also done in a very timely manner. I am so happy that I decided on a whim to contact Carol about having her create some adorable and inspiring art for me. And oh yes here business is very aptly named.

Carol is amazing! She provided us excellent service by keeping us updated on the ETA of project completion, in-depth review of installation plans & the quality of the Mosaic is stunning! Located in St. Albert Centre for our community to enjoy for years to come.

There is a reason why Wow Factor Mosaics starts with WOW. I have attended many of Carol Donald's workshops and found them to be creative, inspirational and informative. For a non-artist like myself and friends, Carol has a gentle and encouraging teaching style. I commissioned Carol to do a work of mosaic art featuring all the memories I hold dear. (Many items are actually in the mosaic) The end result was magnificent and something that will passed through the generations to come. I highly recommend Wow Factor Mosaics!

Had the most fun, creative evening with a group of coworkers at WowFactor Mosaics! Carol led us through an evening of joyful creating making a trivet (hotplate) that will be a lovely piece in my dining room. Haven't done this before & was pleased with both the piece and the experience. Ready to try again!
