I had a lovely time taking the Mosaic Skylines class! Norma had a variety of materials we could use, and helped us find materials, learn different techniques, and helped us make our ideas come to life. I would recommend coming early for the class so you can pick out your materials and start brainstorming as it is quite time consuming. Would love to take another class with Norma.

Although the space was a bit small, I really enjoyed the class and felt that the cost was appropriate for the experience. I'll definitely participate again!

The mosaic class was so fun! They gave us really clear instructions, provided a ton of different glass colors and shapes, and answered all of our questions. It was a fun artistic challenge to figure out how to put your mosaic together, and so rewarding to see it grouted. Definitely recommend!

I absolutely loved this class and hung my finished product within 6 hrs of getting home! As opposed to my recent misadventure with a painting class, this one provided enough instruction/flexibility that there was no way I was walking away without a project I'd be happy with. Norma was fantastic and friendly and provided the most delicious treats along with the class! I'll be going back to make another mosaic project with her soon...or stained glass....so many options! Just wonderful!

I enjoyed this class but there were a few little things that could’ve made it an outstanding experience. There wasn’t really much instruction given- it was easy enough to pick up though. And at the end of class the teacher showed us things to attach to the back so we could hang out pieces, but we weren’t allowed to use them. I left feeling like I hadn’t finished my piece and now have to go buy something to attach to it so I can hang it. That should’ve been included with the class. Otherwise I enjoyed the class.

I had been wanting to take a mosaic class for some time. I am happy I took this class with Norma. She was very welcoming and open to letting people embrace their creative side for the art. She was also willing to cater to the requests for smaller pieces of glass. I thought this offer was more than she needed to do and I totally appreciated it. I would recommend taking an art class with, and I would attend another class. I was vey pleased with the art I created.

I had so much fun creating my mini glass mosaic! The atmosphere was relaxed, there was no pressure to recreate something perfectly, it was just fun! Will absolutely go again.

So much fun and just a really interesting experience. I'm gonna go back and do it again with some friends now that I've got the hang of it.
