About the Program

Make your own “glass”terpiece using colourful glass tile mosaics! In this hands-on program, participants will design and create a unique mosaic artwork to take home and display. Choose from a variety of tile shapes and colours to bring your creative vision to life—no experience necessary, just imagination and a willingness to experiment. All materials will be provided.

This program is intended for older adults.
