Mosaic Workshop

Join mosaic artist Dawn Mendelson at this fun and interactive workshop to learn the art of pique assiette, a style of mosaic using recycled materials with a variety of textures, colors, and patterns. Each participant will create a small art piece to take home. Class size is limited, and an RSVP is required. A $10 fee is due at the start of the session; materials are included.
