Event Overview

Dress up those plain terra cotta pots or wood serving trays with a custom mosaic design! Using reclaimed glass and ceramic-ware, learn how to create your own mosaic from beginning to end in this two-day workshop.  In the first session, Perennial staff will teach you how to cut scraps of glass and tile to create a custom colorful design. The class will cover mortars, grouts, and how to prep surfaces to hold a mosaic. After giving your designs time to dry, the class will meet again for the second session and participants will learn how to complete their mosaic by applying a grout finish. Terra cotta pots and simple serving trays will be provided, but you are welcome to bring in your own.

Please note that this two-day class meets on Saturdays, February 8 +15, from 10:00am – 1:00pm.
