Learn

At Seattle Mosaic Arts, we are committed to making it easy to learn how to make mosaics.  We offer two easy ways to learn mosaics. You may join our studio even as a complete “mosaic novice.” We will guide you through all the steps as you work on your mosaic. Once you get started it is both easy and engrossing.

If you prefer learning in a scheduled class-like setting we also regularly offer introductory classes as well as more advanced workshops and Visiting Artist Series.

Introduction to Mosaics Classes

These two 3-hour session classes teach you all the basic steps for making mosaics using the traditional double indirect method. We guide you through the process, step by step and you create a beautiful mosaic in the process. We generally offer this Intro monthly. Click here for more details.

  • 2 Saturdays 10:00am – 1:00pm  Feb 18 & 25
  • 2 Wednesdays 6:00 – 9:00pm  Mar 14 & 21
  • 2 Saturdays 10:00am – 1:00pm  May 12 & 19

Theme Nights

We regularly host “Theme Nights” where both members and those new to mosaics can come make a small-ish project in one evening. You will not learn all the steps in this one evening, but you will get a much better understanding of the process and have great fun making a very cool mosaic. Please check our “Theme Nights” for more details.

  • ‘Ornaments and more’: Wed Dec 7, 7-9pm
