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.

Your Workshop Journey

Choose Your Palette

Pick your glass colours from the full range and decide on the mood of your piece before you place anything.

Plan the Composition

Lay out your design and learn how spacing and colour contrast affect the way finished mosaics read.

Set the Glass

Place and fix each tile with guidance on technique, pressure, and keeping your lines clean.

Finish and Take It Home

Complete the edges, check the piece under light, and leave with a mosaic ready to display.

Colour, Light, and a Centuries-Old Craft

Colour, Light, and a Centuries-Old Craft

You work with hand-cut stained glass in more than thirty colours, setting each piece into a composition that catches and throws light. The technique is genuinely old — the same one used across Anatolia for centuries — and it is far more approachable than it looks.

Absorbing, Detailed, and Deeply Satisfying

Placing glass is quiet, focused work — the kind of task that makes an hour disappear. There is no drawing skill required and no way to fall behind, which is why it lands equally well for a date night and a full team offsite in the South Bay.

What You Get

30+ hand-cut stained glass colours to choose from

Traditional Turkish mosaic technique, taught simply

No drawing or art experience required

Meditative, detailed, and genuinely absorbing

Every piece is one of a kind

Take your finished mosaic home the same day
