About

Unleash your creativity and up your curb appeal with a mailbox that reflects your personal style and the unique charm of the Pacific Northwest. Over three inspiring days, you'll immerse yourself in the vibrant art of glass mosaic, focusing on design, layout, and the captivating process of adhering your chosen glass pieces to create a luminous and lasting work of art.

Whether you bring your current mailbox for a vibrant makeover or opt for a brand-new one, you'll have the opportunity to create a truly one-of-a-kind piece. If you choose to mosaic your existing mailbox, we can even arrange a temporary replacement to ensure uninterrupted mail delivery during the workshop.

You'll work with a variety of glass pieces and outdoor adhesives (all provided) and learn how to safely and effectively use the necessary tools and equipment to bring your vision to fruition. Days one, two, and three will be dedicated to the process of adhering your glass, building your mosaic layer by layer.

On the final day, you'll receive comprehensive instruction and the materials to grout your masterpiece at home, once the adhesive has fully cured. This allows for a focused and thorough approach to the adhering process during our class sessions.

Session topics :

• Day 1: Introduction to glass mosaic art, design, surface preparation, transferring your design, and starting the glass adhering process.
• Day 2: Continue the adhering process, working with different glass shapes and sizes, incorporating stencils, and addressing curves and edges.
• Day 3: Finalizing glass adherence, troubleshooting, and comprehensive instruction and materials for at-home grouting.
