Always wanted to try making a mosaic? Here is a fun project that I teach regularly to coastal visitors in my studio. Beginner friendly, and make on your own schedule!
 
When ordering, please indicate the design from those shown in the pics. I can make a simple custom design, or just send your favorite colors for you to create "freeform." 
 
You'll get almost all the materials needed (see below) to complete your project. The wheeled nippers are needed to shape your glass to fit the design, and you'll find it's a handy tool you can use for future glass projects. Please select "add wheeled nippers" at purchase if you don't already have a pair, or can borrow them for the project. If you want to look for them in your area, they are usually sold at stained glass or craft stores rather than hardware stores.
