Summer, Summer, Summer!!! Those of you that do know me, this is my favorite time of year! I love it all!! Hot days, BBQ with friends and teaching and creating mosaic art all while working in the outdoor studio!
Fun and creative workshops have been added to the schedule for this summer….both weekdays and weekends. Scroll down to check them out!
Another favorite part is inviting east coast artists to teach here while we have such great weather. On that note….I cannot express enough the excitement for SBSMA’s next visiting artist.
Carol teaches in such a relaxed and educationally expanding way. You will be amazed at the amount of information you absorb and what you will be able to do to incorporate all of this into YOUR mosaic art!
Here is a link to the schedule page for more details. There are a few spaces left so I would not wait! Email or call for more details or to sign up….805.703.4291.
“LADIES WHO MOSAIC” has become a very popular event here at SBSMA. If you and group of your friends, men too, want to come together for a fun evening of creating a small mosaic art piece, relax and enjoy some refreshments and snacks, this is the place to do it!!
If you are interested in a gift for any celebration SBSMA has gift certificates for any amount!
Listed below are just some of the workshops coming up here at SBSMA! Check the schedule for plenty more!
Have a great JUNE and hope to see you soon at SBSMA!

“LADIES WHO MOSAIC”
7 friends came together for a fun 3 hour get together just to hang out and create mosaic art. In that short but busy time they chose their colors and design and began nipping. They used stained glass on 7″x7″ boards to create their fun and unique pieces. They all went home with their own piece of mosaic art.
If you would like to get a group of your friends together for a birthday party, bachelorette party or just for a fun and creative time, email Tami for details.

TESTIMONIALS
Like a Zen Master, Tami floats among the students, helping where necessary and coaching us to perfect our works of art. I’m impressed she has remembered all our names! She shows us how to shape the ceramic pieces to best fit into spaces on our boards. H.H.
Hi Tami- I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the mosaic workshop last weekend. The class was fun and the outdoor setting was perfect. I am spreading the word around town 🙂 E.S.
