Black Bear Mosaics
aka Mosaics and More
I am very happy that I can now offer mosaic workshops in my own studio in Groveland.
As I'm gradually moving this website to its new location - Black Bear Mosaics - the workshops are over there now.
Make a Mosaic - Introductory Class
A mosaic party in Your location of choice
Beginner level / for any age
Would you like to do a craft with your kid/s at their next birthday party, or with a group of your friends, without having to prepare for it? And even better, do it in your home, without having to drive to a venue and back afterwards? You can relax and have that creative activity right in your home without having to prepare for it yourself; you don’t even have to clean it up.
Mosaics and More offers a basic party pack for children, but this package can be adjusted for any age group. Just contact me to discuss your ideas, level, place etc. I have plenty of experience to lead you through a project of your choice, even help finishing one that you have started.
No prior mosaic knowledge is required for the class or party.
And do you know that the class can also be given in GERMAN? Talk to me for further information.
To register for the class please download and print the pdf flyer and mail or email it to the address listed there. If you have questions don't hesitate to call at 650 200 7981
And lastly: Please register well in advance to make sure your date is available.

Mosaic Kits for Children/Beginners
no grout, just glue
Simple, fun and colorful Mosaic Kits
Are you looking for a fun mosaic project to work on your own time?
Here is the solution: My mosaic beginner kits. They include everything you need for your first mosaic. I have a prepackaged selection, please contact me for availability.
All kits are Individually assembled to make one colorful wooden mosaic.
The wood shape in most cases is one of a kind as it is individually cut. You select your tile material according to list of choices under 'variations'
In each kit you will find:
❖ Wooden base, individually cut, then primed to last and avoid warping and painted in a pale ocean blue.
❖ Mosaic material as selected plus a few special pieces added as extras for special features. The photo with the whale shows a sample kit and is for reference only.
❖ Glue in plastic bottle with extra simple tools to spread
❖ Safety glasses for the young artist (they are actually not needed as you won't be cutting those tiles yourself, just for the fun of it)
❖ Metal loop hangers to mount your mosaic
❖ Instruction/tip sheet
These kits are for Mosaic Beginners offered with a pre-selection of tiles. Should you like other mosaic tiles/glass/broken china or different wooden bases please just let me know, I can assemble a variety of kits in different levels. I can also add a Grout Package if you like to finish it with grout.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.
