In 2007, Amy Glass, award-winning mosaic artist, made her first mosaic at her Far North Dallas home. Her passion for the art has taken off ever since. What started as a hobby turned into a ministry, which then turned into a business. She loves taking something broken and turning it into something beautiful.
Initially, Amy taught family and friends. As her workshops grew, she began hosting private groups, including Bible study groups and birthday parties. Before starting a business, she had 200+ guests per year in her studio making mosaics. Since 2017, she has had over 400+ guests per year in her mosaic workshops. That’s a lot of mosaics.
In 2016, she opened Broken By Design Mosaics, selling handcrafted mosaics and offering mosaic workshops in the Far North Dallas area. She started with one store at the Richardson Mercantile, then added a second store at the Lone Star Mercantile. As her business changed, she closed her stores and moved her workshops to her private studio in Far North Dallas. Though she loves to create art through mosaics, her real passion is teaching the mosaic workshop and watching others create a masterpiece.
The only thing constant is change. She’s always on the move and experimenting with new types of art. While she still loves working with mosaics, she added micro-mosaic jewelry and keychains. Her latest creative adventure is crushed glass art. She was hooked while creating her first piece. Join her newsletter to find out details of upcoming classes, specials and give aways. She always has something new and loves to share her love of art with others.
In January 2024, her studio flooded. Everything had to be removed from the studio for the repairs to be made. This forced Amy to revamp her studio. The room was renovated from floor to ceiling. She decided to make more room for guests by rearranging. Not everything that came out went back in. The result: her studio looks better than ever and guests have a more relaxing experience. She limits the number of guests in each workshop to 10 to ensure time and space.
Amy Glass is the mother of six ranging in ages from 8-30 (including two adopted daughters). She is encouraged and supported by her husband, Rich, who is her silent partner. She could not succeed without his support. She is an adventurer at heart and world traveler, always ready for her next adventure. She has a passion for life and loves to touch lives through art. Her goal is to give God glory in everything she does.
