This will be an extra special mosaic because instead of using broken tiles or glass, we will go one step further. We will start with clay and make our own ceramic pieces to be used! This project will involve forming shapes from clay, adding texture to the pieces and glazing them with color to start. Those pieces will be fired in the kiln twice (between classes).  You’ll attach your fired pieces to a concrete paving stone base  and finish it off with grout between the pieces. There are several fun steps to this project.  

To get your shapes, you will have the option of forming and cutting your shapes freehand, tracing pictures to get your shapes, or using cookie cutters to cut out shapes. All supplies are included but if you have something from home you'd like to use, please bring it. 

This mosaic can be used as a stepping stone or garden art and should last outdoors indefinitely. Makes a great gift for someone special!  

Our base will be a cement stepping stone. You'll have your choice of square (12"x12"), rectangle (15"x10", or irregular shape (12"x19").
