Get Creative at Bella Mosaica! Steps to Exploring Your Inner Artist:
- Choose and Purchase a Project Base (board, zinc window, cheeseboard, letters, picture frame etc.)
- Read and Sign our Participant Agreement (under 18 must be signed by an adult parent/guardian)
- Fill out our Project Information form (this will be used to identify your project by your name as well as your grout color choice etc.)
- Ask for an Assigned Tool Kit (includes toothpicks, glue tray, glue, glass nippers, safety glasses)
- If you're cutting glass, we will assign you a shield to protect you and other customers from flying glass pieces
- Choose from many awesome places to sit (ask us if you'd like a chair pad for more comfort!)
- Ask for any instruction you need. Our trained and experienced artists will be on hand teaching and helping
- Explore the studio for your choice in glass. We have LOTS of glass (tile, glass pebbles and more) to choose from
- Get Creative! (And follow our easy instructions for beginning mosaic creation!)
- Paint your project if desired
- Choose from our FREE felt if desired (coasters and trivets may require felt "feet" to avoid scratching furniture surfaces)
- Choose from our grout colors and ask staff about our current turn-around on the studio grouting your project
