Event Type

Spring is here—and with it comes the return of light, color, and time spent outdoors.

In this next step of the Mosaic Garden Series, you’ll move from natural pebble textures into the vibrant world of glass and ceramic. Using the same approachable process, you’ll create a garden stone that brings more color, light, and personality into your outdoor space.

It’s your turn to enjoy the creative designs you see in garden markets and magazines—right in your own garden, created by you. This workshop invites you to explore how color, shape, and reflective surfaces can transform a simple piece into something eye-catching and expressive.

Working on a similar size base as the pebble garden stones, you’ll learn how to design with glass and ceramic pieces, combining them in ways that feel balanced, playful, or bold—whatever suits your style.

No experience is necessary, though this class is a natural continuation from the Introduction to Mosaic or Pebble Garden Stones workshop. As always, you’ll be supported step-by-step in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Leave with a finished piece that catches the light and adds a new layer of beauty to your garden—or give it as a thoughtful, handmade gift.
