Mosaic Pot Workshop
Slow down, get creative, and transform an ordinary terracotta planter into a beautiful piece of handmade art. In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll explore the colorful world of mosaics using stained glass, mosaic tiles, and vintage china to create a planter that's uniquely your own.
With step-by-step guidance, you'll learn the basics of mosaic design, including how to safely cut and shape materials, plan a composition, and apply your pieces to create a lasting design. Whether you're inspired by nature, drawn to bold colors and patterns, or prefer a more whimsical approach, you'll have the freedom to create something that reflects your personal style.
This workshop is designed to be both relaxing and rewarding—a chance to slow down, work with your hands, and enjoy the creative process in a welcoming community setting. You'll leave with a completed mosaic planter and the materials needed to grout your piece at home once the adhesive has fully cured, making it ready for your favorite plant or a thoughtful handmade gift.
