Candace came for a private session to get help starting her torso mosaic. Sometimes a white canvas can be intimidating! So we mapped out a design, chose a color palette and started the process. Now she has a plan and off she goes! I can’t wait
“Penelope” Lady in a Hat just went home with her new owner. She was my last Lady in a Hat. No problem since I have so many ideas for the next glamorous Lady!

Look who just went home with her new mom! She will be the mascot kitty proudly watching over the new Cats At Play Cafe coming to downtown Asheville this spring. I loved creating her and can’t wait to see her new spot. Thank you Lisa!
I made this jeweled frame for our nephew to celebrate his grandmother. The photo is her at age 15 but as an adult she was quite the Italian glamour girl. She loved red roses and red lipstick, diamonds and high heels. I’m told this frame was so
Deborah created her beautiful mosaic Floral in a private class with me. Her first mosaic. Well done!

Luck was with me when I happened upon these three cuties this weekend. Looks like it will be the Dog Days of winter for me. I can’t wait! ❤️🐶.
I just updated my Marquee booth today with new work and special “holiday” pricing on all your favorites. My neighbor asked to put Dorothy the Swan in her booth so she’s front and center. So nice! I hope you will visit this magical p

    -Becky

  • “Debra is a fun and knowledgeable instructor. She walks you through all the tools, supplies, and types of tesserae, and then demonstrates all the basic techniques. She spends a lot of time giving individual assistance and answering questions. She is very encouraging and supportive and just a great person to be around. And so talented!!”

    -Danna

  • “I took my first ever mosaics class with Debra as the instructor. She was patient, thorough and extremely generous in her instruction and support as I worked on my project. When someone got stuck in their process she gave guidance and suggestions in a non-judgmental way. She was very encouraging throughout the 2 day project. I had no idea that I would love doing mosaics as much as I did! So much so, that I’m now on to a second project and I know if I get stuck, Debra is more than willing to help! Thanks Debra!”
