Happy New Year!

This post is dedicated to everyone who took a class in my studio this year and helped to make it a year filled with mosaic inspiration for me. Please enjoy this album I created, with just some of the many many wonderful pieces of art created in 2017.

I’m also offering an incentive for you to spread the word. If you refer a friend who signs up for a workshop, you’ll receive a 10% discount on your own tuition.

Here is a summary of what’s being offered this spring:

Mosaic Stepping Stones (several dates to choose from)

This is a popular class because you can finish a project in just one evening. Learn about shape and pattern by creating a unique design to enhance your garden. You can leave them outside year round.

Mosaic Tables (Tuesday evenings, beginning April 18)

In this 8 week series, you’ll create a personalized piece of furniture for your home. Everything is provided, including the handmade wooden table frame. Make something you’ll treasure forever.

New Class: Mosaic Free-For-All (Wednesday evenings, beginning May 17)

This is your chance to make the project of your choice- a mosaic wall panel, house number, flower pot, mirror frame, etc. The possibilities are endless!

New Class:  Mosaic Trivets & Coasters- Earth Day Up-cycling Special! (April 22-23)

Spend Earth Day weekend up-cycling beautiful glass and other materials to make functional mosaics for your kitchen table and coffee table. Great for beginners, but open to all levels.

Remember to tell your friends! Mosaics classes are a really fun thing to do with friends, and you’ll get 10% off your own tuition when your friend signs up for their first class with me. Or, get a group of 6-8 friends or coworkers together and I’ll schedule a class for you at your convenience.

I’m looking forward to seeing many of you this spring.

Enjoy the sunshine!

Make a Mosaic House Number This Winter!

Add Fun & Creativity to Your Monday Evenings this Winter

Do you want to spice up the front of your house in a really personalized way? If so, then make a mosaic number plaque for your house!

In response to numerous requests, I am offering this course as a 7 week series on Monday evenings in my studio, beginning January 30. There are a few spots left so I wanted to make sure to get the word out. This will be a really fun way to use a variety of materials (glass, pottery, tile, stone, etc), while working in the indirect method, and creating a functional, customized piece of art for the front of your house. You can include imagery that is special to you, or that reflects the landscape, in addition to the number itself. These are going to be true works of art.

Another special feature to this project is the frame: handmade by local metal sculptor Pat Bennet from Holyoke. You will have your choice between a couple of different sizes of these beautiful steel frames to attach the mosaic to your house.

Read the full description and sign up here. Or contact me if you have questions.

And… gift certificates are available in any amount, so you can gift this class, or a portion of the tuition to a creative friend or family member.

Make this a winter filled with creativity!

Happy Solstice!
