How It Works

Ages 5 and up can participate in making a mosaic with the assistance of their parents. You don’t need any prior experience, just open to trying.

Choose the base you want to mosaic, we have a great selection. Then you would take a container (we use muffin tins) and fill with any color mosaic glass you like.Also, you are welcome to bring in shells, coins or a broken piece of china which can be broken up more to be incorporated into your mosaic piece. Bring to your table a bottle of glue and tools, like tile cutters.

Arrange the tiles on your base and glue down, leaving a little bit of space in between each tile. You need room for the grout, so avoid having the glass touch each other.

Once your finished gluing all the glass you can leave the completed piece for us to grout OR we will give you a take home instruction kits to finish at home. If you grout at home, you need to wait at least 24 hours for the glue/tiles to set before you grout. 

Photo Mosaics

A photo mosaic is another option. You glue down clear tiles on top of a fabulous photo which you bring to the store. No cutting involved, just bring a photo, must be on photo paper, and let the gluing begin.  In 24 hours your piece will be ready for grouting.

How to Grout at Home

Allow adhesive to set for 24-48 hours. Add small amounts of water until you get a smooth peanut butter or toothpaste consistency. Apply grout on top of design. Push grout into small spaces with your fingers or craft stick. Let mixture set for about 5-10 minutes, then wipe excess off with slightly damp sponge or cloth. Continue until all grout is removed from each tile. Once dry, polish piece with soft cloth.

DO NOT put excess grout down the sink!! Warning: contains portland cement. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Avoid eye contact or prolonged skin contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. If eye contact occurs, flush with water for 15 minutes.

Reservations

You can make a reservation of 4 people or more by calling the studio. We confirm all reservation on Monday for the whole week. Sometimes the studio is rented out for private parties, so please call ahead to check availability.
