Check out the new workshops just added. New ones and favorites can be found on the schedule page. Santa Barbara is a great place to come during the summer, enjoy the great weather, the ocean and take a mosaic workshop!! Have a look, you won’t be disappointed!
Lightweight concrete small boulders and spheres are taking shape and ready to become amazing works of art in our upcoming workshop and for sale! Teacher and Owner, Tami Macala makes the boulders and spheres, and you make the art! The Garden Sphere/Boulder Workshop gives students the opportunity to use the concrete boulders and spheres as the “canvas” for this three dimensional art. In the workshop, we will use tile, pottery, found objects and mirror pieces to make art for indoors or out! Teacher and owner Tami Macala will guide students through the process including design, setting tesserae, and a grouting lesson. Contact Tami for more information.

Martin Cheek’s glass mosaic workshop was such a huge success. With the amazing and thorough lectures plus his hands on assistance. He answered questions in plain English yet with so much knowledge you could see students taking their mosaics to a new level. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone and hope to see him back in Santa Barbara next year!!!
