Esser-Miles Mosaics

An ancient craft for a modern world.

  • Garden Mosaics

    I'm lucky to be the proud owner of two unique pieces produced by Carolin - a beautiful mosaic depicting a river on a panel of black porcelain and a fountain with a gorgeous mosaic of little fish and pebbles in a bowl. Both pieces are enchanting and have their movement and mood. They change as the daylight reflecting in both pieces changes. You notice something different about them every time you look at them. They are textured and tactile, they are really a therapy, mystery and delight to look at.

  • Heritage Open Day Workshop

    First of all, I would like to say a huge thank you to you and your husband for the wonderful experience day yesterday. We all came out so excited about finishing our project and it was very educational day for us learning about Mosaics.

  • Heritage Open Day Workshop at the Museum

    This was a totally absorbing and highly educative workshop. We were a 3 generation group aged 8, 12, 16 with two parents and one over 70 year old. We learnt a great deal about Roman mosaics, each made a lovely hanging tile to take home and had a thoroughly joyful time. The presenter was enthusiastic, empathetic and highly knowledgeable. Just such fun!

  • Octopus Table

    My octopus table is a triumph! From just an idea of a subject matter, Carolin has brought to life a beautiful creation with exquisite attention to detail.

    I loved being involved with all stages of the work being carried out and learn about the process and techniques too!

    Thank you. We will treasure it forever.

A mosaic for you

I work on commission and offer made-to-order and ready made items via the shop. I can also produce individualized items upon request.

  • Available designs for table tops, trays, game boards, etc are available to be produced on request. I also sometimes offer unique pieces that are ready for sale, including decorative pieces.

    If you cannot find what you are looking for, or if you wish to upcycle a piece of furniture that you already own, please enquire about customization or commission of new designs.

  • Architectural mosaics are fixed to the environment or otherwise too heavy to be moved lightly. They can be created for interior or exterior spaces. I can design and create murals, floor insets, steps, kitchen backsplashes, or garden features, including mosaic benches, ponds, or fountains.

  • Professional signage for businesses, public spaces, homes. These can be interior or exterior, fixed to the wall or detachable.

  • I work as a mosaic artist. My pieces can be found in the gallery, and some of them will be available for sale through the shop.

Who I am

I am Carolin Esser-Miles, the mosaicist behind the studio. My favourite media are natural stone and smalti, though I also work with modern glass, porcelain, and found objects. While I mainly work with ancient and modern Italian methods, technique, design, and materials depend, of course, on the project as well as the location and function of the mosaic.
