Mosaic Taster Class

Join us for this one-time 2 1/2 hour class that will give you a taste of mosaic art--this is perfect for someone wishing to explore this exciting art form. This class is geared to adults - children 12 years and older are welcome if they are comfortable staying focused for 2 to 3 hours. Once you try it you will be hooked!!  In this class you will make a 4 1/2" by 4 1/2" tile/trivet and learn the basics of cutting, color, grouting, and design techniques as well as a brief history of mosaics. Just come to class with an open mind ready to create, design your own or use one of our  suggested designs!

Mosaic Jewelry

Mosaic jewelry making is back.  One Friday night per month is reserved for mosaic jewelry making. In one evening, you can walk out wearing a new pair of earrings and a pendant. In addition to earring and pendant findings, we also carry  earrings, pendants, key chains, bottle stoppers, cabinet pulls, and more. Come and try your hand at designing your own jewelry! Bring your own costume jewelry (but not necessary)to add to your new pieces.
A great way to end your work week, bring a snack and beverage if you like!
 

       $45 for one piece and $80 for two pieces

Mosaic Collage Using Tempered Glass

Preserve your “paper” memories under beautiful glass!  In this class you will make a paper collage using items (cards, ticket stubs, pictures, ribbon, glitter, whatever you like) that are personal to you as well as materials we have gathered, to make an 8 x 10” or 8 x 8” art piece.  After you cover your board with your paper design, you will cover it with clear glass and “crash” (tempered) glass, as well as other materials we have in the studio. This gives your design a beautiful shimmery and jewel like quality. This class is great for the first time mosaic artist as well as a new technique for long time mosaic artists!

This class will be offered on four Wednesday evenings starting on March 13, 2024.
