What It Is
Glass mosaic art is the practice of composing small pieces of coloured glass into a single image or pattern. Because each tile is hand-cut and slightly different, no two finished pieces ever look the same.
In this workshop at our Downtown San Jose studio you choose your palette from more than thirty glass colours, learn how to place and space tiles for the cleanest result, and build a mosaic panel that catches the light. Your host guides the layout so the composition holds together, and you take the finished piece home the same day.
