wish), and will be ready to hang when you leave the 2nd day of the

  | On the Second Day* Today
you'll be getting dirty, and grouting your beautiful mosaic window.
I’ll show you how to mix your grout, the types of grout to choose from,
and techniques for easy grouting & cleaning. You'll also learn about
sealing your finished piece. Grouting is the step that really brings
your piece to life! For
this class, there will be times that you can not work on your window
while you’re waiting for the grout to set. During this time, you’ll have
the option of working on an additional small project: mosaic jewelry making.
This extra “mini-class” will have you walking away with either a pair
of
mosaic earrings, a bracelet, or a pendant necklace. The cost of this
mini-class is
$35, and includes all of your supplies. You can also take a 5 minute
stroll to one of our two beaches to look for sea glass, or get yourself a
treat at the cafe next door & relax under one of the umbrellas. No
need to decide right now... just know that the choice will be yours!
Payment for the mini-class can be either check or cash on the day of the
workshop. * If you can not come for the 2nd class, you will be sent home with clear directions on Day 1, along with the materials you need, to grout your piece on your own. There will not be a discount for not coming to the 2nd class, as I have only charged for materials & supplies for the second day.
