DESCRIPTION
Add a splash of color and creativity to your garden while supporting pollinators and feathered friends! In this hands-on workshop, artist and instructor Barbara Henderson will guide you through designing and crafting a  beautiful and functional bee or bird bath from a 14-inch terracotta saucer.

Using vibrant glass, beads, and other durable materials, you’ll learn foundational mosaic techniques such as tesserae placement and design layout to create a weather-resistant piece of outdoor art. You’ll complete your mosaic design in class, while grouting will be done at home after the adhesive cures. A live demonstration, take-home supplies, and access to a detailed instructional video will give you the confidence to finish your project successfully.

All tools and materials are provided—no experience necessary. Come away with a stunning mosaic bath that’s as welcoming to bees and birds as it is beautiful in your garden.
