Mosaic Madness for House and Garden
There is nothing like a mosaic to brighten your home or garden.
From house numbers, to pavers and pots, framed mirrors, kitchen trays, trivets and the iconic birdbath or a framed piece for the wall. No experience needed, just a desire to enjoy.
Come with or without ideas on what to make. BYO materials.
