Hope you friends are all doing well. January sure ended with a bang! While the snow is beautiful, I'm happily staying cozy indoors and focusing on the good things ahead.
And I'm so excited because my first 2026 workshop is right around the corner!
In just a few weeks, we'll kick off the Outdoor Mosaic Substrate Workshop, where you'll learn how to create your own outdoor mosaic bases ready for mosaicing this season.
Workshop Dates:
February 20-21, 2026
May 16-17, 2026
This workshop is perfect for beginners and anyone wanting to explore outdoor mosaics. You'll create three outdoor forms, learn preparation techniques, and leave ready to mosaic at home once pieces have cured. All materials and tools included, small group setting with personal guidance, fun, relaxed, creative atmosphere, and no experience needed.
Winter is the perfect time to plan your outdoor decor projects - and this class gets you ready for spring creativity!
Why Outdoor Mosaics Are the Perfect Spring Project
Spring is a season of renewal and growth, making it the ideal time to bring fresh energy into your outdoor spaces. Outdoor mosaics are not only beautiful but also durable and weather-resistant when created with the right techniques and materials. Imagine your garden, patio, or balcony adorned with vibrant, handcrafted mosaic art that reflects your personality and style.
Creating outdoor mosaics allows you to:
Express your creativity in a unique and lasting way.
Add color and texture to your outdoor environment.
Personalize your space with art that you made yourself.
Enjoy a relaxing, hands-on activity that connects you with nature.
Whether you want to decorate flower pots, stepping stones, garden benches, or even outdoor walls, mosaics offer endless possibilities. Plus, learning the right substrate techniques ensures your art will withstand the elements and stay beautiful for years to come.
How to Prepare for the Workshop and What to Expect
Getting ready for the workshop is simple, but here are a few tips to help you make the most of your experience:
Dress comfortably and in layers, as the studio space might vary in temperature.
Bring a notebook or sketchbook if you like to jot down ideas or sketch designs.
Come with an open mind and a willingness to experiment.
Prepare to meet fellow art lovers who share your passion for creativity.
During the workshop, you’ll enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere where questions are encouraged, and creativity flows freely. You’ll have plenty of time to chat, share ideas, and learn from each other. Plus, I’ll be there every step of the way to guide you and offer personalized tips.
Remember, this is not just about making mosaics; it’s about creating a space where you can relax, recharge, and connect with your artistic side. The joy of mosaic art is in the process as much as the finished piece.
Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Think About Outdoor Decorations
With winter still holding Charlotte in its snowy grip, it might seem early to think about outdoor projects. But this is actually the perfect moment to plan and prepare. Snowy days are ideal for indoor creativity, and by the time spring arrives, you’ll be ready to bring your ideas to life.
Starting now means:
You’ll have plenty of time to design and experiment.
You can avoid the last-minute rush when the weather warms up.
Your outdoor space will be ready to impress friends and family as soon as the sun shines.
You’ll enjoy the satisfaction of having a unique, handcrafted decoration that no one else has.
Plus, the workshop provides all the guidance and materials you need, so you can confidently create mosaics that will brighten your outdoor areas and withstand the elements.
Staying Positive and Creative in Challenging Times
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the state of the world right now. But focusing on creativity and kindness can be a powerful way to find hope and joy. Art has a unique ability to heal, inspire, and bring people together.
By joining this workshop, you’re not just learning a craft—you’re becoming part of a community that values positivity and connection. You’ll leave with more than just a mosaic piece; you’ll carry a sense of accomplishment and a reminder that beauty can thrive even in difficult times.
Remember, “let's try to stay focused in doing good, being kind with one another.” This mindset will help you nurture your creativity and spread warmth wherever you go.
