This is our most popular mosaic class and is offered only once per year!
The Tiffany Studios began producing mosaic artwork in the late 1870s. These mosaics were known for their deeply saturated colors and lustrous surfaces. In this workshop, we will explore the luminous world of Tiffany mosaics in this hands-on workshop. Designed for all levels, this workshop guides you through creating a contemporary mosaic inspired by classic Tiffany designs using the direct method.


There is a separate $45 supply fee to cover patterns, transfer materials, prepped substrates and grout. Students should bring their own glass and tools if they have them. AISG store will be open throughout the workshop hours for your convenience, and AISG will loan studio tools if a student does not own them. AISG also provides no-charge access to their scrap - a bonus!

An email will go out to students 2 weeks in prior to the class with additional supplies and tools needed. Detailed information including a in-depth description of the workshop, instructor-provided patterns and past student works are available at www.maverickmosaics.com.

Some mosaic or stained glass experience is helpful, but not required.

Saturday, June 13th  10am - 5pm
Sunday, June 14th 10am - 12pm

$440 plus $55 separate supply fee

Create a stylized glass mosaic portrait of an animal of your choice in this immersive 3.5-day workshop. Whether your subject is a beloved dog, a colorful bird, a fish, or even a bee, you’ll work directly from your own photograph to translate personality and expression into glass.

Through demonstrations, presentations, and hands-on studio time, you’ll explore the essential principles of successful mosaic portraiture. Topics include color and tone relationships, simplifying photographic information, perspective, and expressive cutting techniques. You’ll also learn specialized laying styles to best capture the character, texture, and movement of your chosen animal.

This workshop is an excellent introduction to portrait work and a meaningful next step for artists looking to expand their technical and creative skills. All levels are welcome; mosaic or stained glass experience is helpful but not required.

Students must submit their image electronically two weeks in advance. A separate $55 supply fee, payable to the instructor on the first day, includes scaled image preparation, reference materials, a prepared substrate, design supplies, and grout. Each student will complete approximately one square foot of mosaic.
