2011 Mosaic Workshops Calendar

This is the first piece installed this year, in Los Osos, California.

I will be happy to assist anyone attending the workshop in creating an address piece. The first Mosaic Workshop this year will be in the desert on February 12 and 13. The workshop is $150, this includes all the materials. Learn the basics. Take part in a huge grouting project on-site and take a finished piece of work home.
Create an address for your home or a design of your own choice. Bring your broken china or ceramics with you or dig in the boneyard for broken tiles and pottery. If you need to spend the night, we can make arrangements for you. Please sign up early and make your reservation before space fills up. See you in wOnder valley, Perry
