MOSAIC FLORALS // ASHEVILLE // OCT. 18-19TH, 2025
Mosaic Florals are made from a combination of glass mosaic backdrops and vases with found objects that substitute for flowers. In this class, Debra will share her knowledge of adhesives and specialized tools to help you learn how to prepare and assemble your treasures for mounting and how to work in a ready made frame. Since the arrangement won’t be grouted, you can use materials of all kinds including metal, shells, pearls, fabric, you name it!
