This mosaic workshop ensures a relaxed, fun atmosphere for students to explore and develop their own individual creativity. In just three hours students will create their own mosaic mirror by designing and then gluing down materials selected from our wide supply of beautiful glass and ceramic tiles. All materials are included and you will leave with a bag of grout selected from our supply of colored grouts for you to use at home. In the class you will learn about the basics of mosaics and will watch a grouting demonstration so that you can finish your creation once it has dried for at least 24 hours. If you prefer, you can pay a $10 fee to leave your mosaic and have us grout it for you, but really grouting your mosaic mirror is a perfect introductory grouting project that anyone can manage.
