Turn a stepping stone into a garden sculpture! In this mosaic class we will be using tiles and plates to decorate a cement stepping stone. All you have to bring to class is a 3-D ceramic piece, approx. 4”-10” tall . For example, anything from a bird to a Buddha, ceramic figurines, vases, cups or any fun ceramic piece that you may have found at a thrift shop or inherited. Once we add that to your stepping stone you will have learned all the techniques needed to create a mosaic, from clipping tiles to grouting! You will take home a sculptural mosaic “Tripping Stone” that will tell a story and grace your garden! |
