I started this group to bring together folks that love to create. The group is a place to learn about mosaics, create mosaics, and have a community to work alongside. This meetup is held in my indoor-outdoor studio space under a grove of palm trees. I have lots of supplies left over from projects and collected, but never used. Just come as you are and start to create a lasting piece of art! It is really fun to see a pile of broken pieces come together into a unique piece of art!
