Mosaic Opportunities

WORKSHOPS

We can invite your class to our studio or take the workshop to your school where your students get to create individual mosaics. Each student can choose from one of our easy-to-follow templates or even make their own design.

By the end of the workshop, each student has a handmade mosaic artwork as well as an appreciation for this new art form!

Murals

Through our collaborative process, each student creates a small section of the mural, gluing tiles to their board according to a simple guide similar to a color-by-numbers. Then, the completed boards are brought together, creating the final mural.

The final mosaic mural is a quilt-like collaboration of all the students’ hard work and creativity.
