Mosaic is a style of art where an image is created by arranging different shapes into a pattern. Basically, mosaics taught us how to make the broken beautiful! During this creative class, you will adorn a 6” x 18” weatherproof panel to create a beautiful piece of garden or wall art. Several options of colorful precut stained glass, tile, mirrors, and glass gems will be available. Browse through ideas and patterns provided or create your own unique design. This class is perfect for all skill levels. No glass cutting or experience is required. All supplies and tools will be provided. Supplies and instructions to grout projects will be sent home with participants. (Glass and grout colors may vary depending on availability).
