Do I need experience with art?
The short answer is no. The long answer is no. Everyone who has come out to the Farm to try mosaics for the first time has discovered that they CAN make beautiful things, even if they feel they are not artistic or creative.

What do I need to bring?
Mosaics at the Farm supplies all the tools and supplies to create. You are asked to bring something to mosaic onto, such as a table, stepping stone, bench, frame, or other solid surfaces. If you do not have anything to bring, I sell thrift store items at the Farm and you are welcome to purchase an item from my stash. ($2- $20)

How long are classes?
Most guests need approximately four to five hours to complete their projects. This time span allows for a relaxed pace to complete your project. Add additional time for lunch and snack breaks. The general operating hours are 9 am – 4 pm. Plan to spend the day at the farm!
7
Do you allow children?
I have had students as young as 5 successfully complete a mosaic project. All minors must be accompanied by an adult. I suggest you use your own judgment on whether your child is capable of sustaining attention to the task. I will offer a three-hour class for party groups of children ages 5-12. See Class Descriptions for more details.
8
What about food?
Participants are responsible for bringing lunch and snacks. Many groups coordinate a potluck. You will have access to a refrigerator, convection toaster oven, and a microwave in the kitchenette area. Please bring serving utensils, plates, and your own beverages. There is a Keurig machine available for your use with complementary coffees and teas.
9
How big of an item can I mosaic?
I ask all first-time artists to bring something that is no larger than 11 x 14 or the equivalent in square inches (154 square inches)
The reason is to ensure that you have time to complete your project at a relaxed pace. It also ensures that the cost of the supplies remains within budget. I appreciate your adherence to this general guideline. Please inquire if you have a unique request. Windows are a wonderful project for those who wish to come two times. Windows require time and more glass than one class can provide. See Class Section for more detailed information.

What do I wear?
You should wear your play clothes, of course! Dress with the idea that you may get a little messy. Wear an apron if you like. I supply lap paper towels to use to wipe sticky fingers. The workshop space is heated for cold weather and air-conditioned during hot weather. Close-toed shoes are suggested.
