Join Amy Glass, local mosaic artist, for one of her amazing mosaic workshops in the Far North Dallas area. Amy has been teaching others to make mosaics since 2007 and loves watching people tap into their creative side – regardless of their ability.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

All supplies are provided, and the best part – Amy grouts your mosaic for you! At a workshop, you pick out the base and all the tesserae (broken dishes, tiles, and embellishments). After she gives instructions, you glue the pieces onto the base. After the glue dries, Amy grouts them and has them ready for pick up within a week of the workshop.

SUPPLIES:

• Base – Amy has over 100 different shapes, which she cuts from various types of wood. She loves taking discarded or scrap wood and making it into something beautiful. Each base is unique because she hand cuts each one with a jigsaw. No two bases are alike. 

(1) Western – Texas (2 sizes), cowboy boot, cowboy hat, longhorn (2 sizes), Oklahoma, Arkansas, horse shoe, cactus

(2) Faith – cross (multiple sizes and shapes), angels (2 sizes), crown

• Glue – Tacky glue is used to glue tesserae onto the wood bases, which are for indoor projects.
