Learn how to create your own mosaic!
I offer individual, family and group workshop-based classes in my Berkeley studio where you and/or your kids are introduced to glass safety, cutting techniques and mosaic design, which you use to create your own mosaic.
Your mosaic can manifest as an all -weather functional rectangular or flagstone-shaped stepping stone for your garden or patio, or a framed mosaic suncatcher to create colorful lighting in your window.
How does it work? Please anticipate that you will be in my studio for 2-4 hours to create your mosaic, and then possibly back another day for another 45 minutes for grouting (I can also grout & seal designs for you). You can arrive with a full design or even a foggy vision in mind, or we can develop a design once you are at the studio. During the workshop, you will learn about glass safety, how to score and cut glass in different shapes, and both aesthetic and practical considerations so your design will have maximal visual effect. After this you will create a mosaic, with my guidance and support, using an expansive range of in-house materials. Your mosaic will be ready for grouting and sealing after ~24-48 hours, and you have an option of returning to the studio to learn how to grout and seal your mosaic, or I can apply the finishing touches for you.

Who can take a class? I welcome adults and children aged 8+ individually and in groups, or younger children accompanied by a parent during the full class, who will help their child to work safely. If your child of 8+ will be taking a class, you are welcome to stay, or head out and I will call you when your child’s project is nearing completion.
What is the cost? One-off individual or parent+ under 8 y.o. workshops run $250 for a ~12×12 inch project, include all materials. Workshops to create larger designs (e.g. paired stepping stones, larger wall hangings, a garden bench or coffee table), are possible! The price is dependent on size/complexity.
How do I schedule a series of classes or one-off workshop? Please email me: snoringorangestudio@gmail.com. If you are booking for your child, you will need to sign a waiver before we begin the the class.
The fine print: Workshops are non-refundable. Rescheduling requires 48 hour notification. Availability is dependent on my show schedule.
