ABOUT THIS EVENT
Event Category
Arts & DIY
Event Overview
The creation of mosaics is a decorative art form as universal as human existence – it began in 3,000 BC and continues today – transcending cultures, religions, mediums and the like. Get in touch with your ancestors and appreciate a pastime with rich history in our Mosaics workshop.
This five hour Mosaics Mania class will answer any and all questions Dabblers might have about the art form of mosaics. Using decorative glass, tiles and adhesives, students will roll up their sleeves and get busy molding a creation of their own to take home.
Essential techniques of design, color, pattern and arrangement will be explained, and a lesson in grouting your final piece will be covered at end of class. Due to the time necessary for projects to set, students will be given a grouting demonstration, and will leave with all the materials and instruction necessary to finish their project at home once it is ready for grouting.
Minimum age
All ages welcome

Nancy I.Reviewed on 12/09/13I went to this class with a friend and had a great time. There is so much room for creativity - everyone had such different projects in the end. A majority of the class, including myself, had never dabbled in mosaic before and Francine was great. She was encouraging and helpful but never overbearing. I highly recommend taking it!

This is a fun class to do with a friend. It's very laid back but the process is kind of tedious so having a friend to chat with makes it a bit more enjoyable. Francine was super nice and helpful. She had beautiful tiles to work with and a good selection of items to mosiac. If you have specific item you want to mosiac, I recommend bringing that with you.

Awesome class!! in that one class, I learned to plan my project, cut glass and tiles, select the right materials and seal the mosaic in place for a finish product. The world now awaits mosaics art everywhere :)
