Hands-on Houston: Blue & White Mosaic Tiles

This month’s Hands-on Houston celebrates Houston’s historic blue and white mosaic street signs! These tiled wayfinding markers have marked H-town streets for over a century, showcasing the influence craft has on our city. Create your own mosaic tile in a monogram style, then finish the tile at home with a grout kit (provided) to solidify the design. Once finished, display your new tile indoors or outdoors. Don’t forget to visit the galleries to view the historic tiles on view in !

Note: Please allow 25 minutes to complete this activity. The activity will take place outdoors, weather permitting, and is on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.

HANDS-ON HOUSTON is a free drop-in event held the first Saturday of every month (except in July). Each month, a teaching artist or guild demonstrates a craft related to the current exhibitions. Community members of all ages are welcome to come any time between 11AM and 3 PM and participate in a 20–25-minute activity. Materials are provided. This program supports HCCC’s mission to inspire and connect people to the art and process of making. Learn more here.

This program was financially assisted by Impact100 Houston.
