Meditative Mandala Mosaics‍ ‍March 29, 2026, 2:00-4:30pm

Making mosaics is a very meditative process. In this workshop, we will create a mosaic mandala using natural materials and glass. You’ll make a circular abstract design and explore how you can impart personal meaning into the mosaic and the creative process. Watch a demo to learn how to mix thin set and adhere sand dollars, slate, glass, and other mosaic pieces in a bed of mortar. Then create your own small mosaic!  

All materials are provided, but students are encouraged to bring any special or meaningful objects they would like to include in their mosaic, such as shells, rocks, pebbles, beads, gem stones, or found objects. Finding materials is nature is half the fun, and even one small personal treasure can make your mosaic feel special.

Mixed Media Mosaics: Working in a Series

December 3, 10, and 17, 2026. Three Thursday sessions, 3:00 - 5:00 pm

In this 3-session class, we will have the opportunity to work on 3 small mosaics in a series. Working in a series allows you to explore one material in different ways, to explore a theme, or to explore a similar design in different color combinations. It’s also a chance to experiment and develop your skills with the materials, tools, and planning out your design. We will be working with slate, stone, vitreous glass, stained glass, and found objects. All materials are included, but you are encouraged to bring some of your own materials that are special to you. This might include favorite rocks, pebbles, shells, beads, or found objects. (Students who would prefer to work on one larger mosaic over the 3 sessions rather than 3 smaller ones should reach out to me when registering and we can discuss that as an option.)

Please register early to save your spot and help me plan. To sign up, contact me here and let me know your name and email address.
