I'm going to try and focus more on some of the cool mosaic art that my students, friends and customers are making. Claire Vowels made this at the studio for her father-in-law for Christmas. Isn't it wonderful? Here is her story about why......
"This mosaic piece I made was a sign for my father-in-law. He owns a 1956 Chevy and enters it into many car shows and he would like to display the sign in front of his car, he is very proud of his car! It was a fun piece to make because I used Mexican smalti (beautiful stuff) for the car and the words which really made it stand out and give it texture and dimension. The background I made as plain as possible using a white swirled stained glass to not distract from the main image. He was so surprised when I presented it to him (as it was a surprise) and I think he really liked it. I would definitely use the combination of smalti and stained glass again, it gives it a very cool look! Claire "

New Studio
Yup. I lack commitment...so we are BACK. For real. In a cool warehouse studio at Lakeshore and Carlaw (lots of free parking, close to the DVP and Gardiner, on the bike path...and the Pape/Union station bus stops at the door).
We will be opening March 1st in the new spot. It is NOT a retail store, but a working studio. We will have some regular hours for classes and retail purchases but the rest of the time will be by appt or by chance (ie call me!) as I am going to be doing more offsite work than before (teaching, installs etc).
The website is still www.mosaicbeach.com, the phone number is still 416-915-1627.
Yay! We are back!!
