Every Day
Mosaic Studio

family making mosaics in our studioWe love  MOSAICS because they can made simple or complicated, traditional or wild, depending on YOU. And it's a pastime that everyone can enjoy, regardless of age.

Our Mosaic Studio makes it easy for you to learn and explore this fascinating art. We'll show you design basics, help you create your design with tesserae, and teach you all the techniques you need to know to complete your mosaic.

Our selection of tesserae includes over 100 different glass, porcelain, and polished gem tiles. Most materials have been nipped into odd shapes and tumbled to smooth the edges.mosaic project   Just choose the pieces you want, arrange them on the surface you've chosen, and glue them in place. Choose from dozens of surfaces including wall plaques, mirrors, frames, and
small tables.kid making a mosaic

You'll have three choices for finishing your project with grout: take it home with our complete instructions, attend one of our grouting sessions, or have us grout it for you. If you want or need to cut your own tiles for your project, we'll show you how to do it in our groutingstudio, and also offer nippers and safety goggles for purchase. And to help children get more inspired by this creative art form, we've created inexpensive alternatives to using the glass and ceramic tiles. Our paper mosaics have the look of broken china, and our acrylic pieces are an appealing substitute for the 'real thing'.
