Mosaic Window Classes
In this class you will create a large, decorative cathedral glass mosaic on an antique window. Mosaic art is easy, relaxing to learn, and can be incorporated into many aspects of your home and garden.
 This 3 or
4 day course teaches you to create a colorful masterpiece from cathedral glass mosaic pieces. Have a design in mind or email/call me and we can decide on a wonderful design just for your window!
NOTE: This is NOT a leaded, stained glass-type class…it is mosaic art and learning to create glowing works of art for decorative use without all that toxic junk used in regular stained glass. Please see the student gallery for examples of past classes.
Please note: If you are taking the 3-day intensive version participants will enjoy creating a fabulous artwork within only three days of intensive mosaic layout, adhering, and a final day of grouting. You must come ready with a design and be prepared to work! We'll stretch a lot during class. No make up time will be considered for this class, so be ready to attend all scheduled hours! The final evening is grouting only, which goes fairly quickly. If you would like a take-home kit instead of returning to grout -- that option is available.
Cost: $375 (minimum of 2 & maximum of
3 participants) New Price Reduction!

Chair Class
Mosaic art is easy, relaxing to learn, and can be incorporated into many aspects of your home and garden. During this fun class series you will create an amazing project: a decorative, indoor, mosaic covered chair in any style or design you choose.
This class is open to only 3 students due to space limitations! The chairs are chosen by each participant on a first-come, first choice basis. I currently have a few chairs to choose from – if you have your own chair you would like to use/mosaic then you will receive a $35.00 discount for the total cost of the  class.
This course will teach you all the basic skills you need for creating beautiful, funky, and fun mosaic art — or, if you are a returning student, you can hone those skills and create a more detailed masterpiece.
The cost of this series includes all projects, materials, tools, and assistance needed to walk away with an amazing mosaic covered chair.
