Mosaic art projects
At Magnolia Mosaic, you have the opportunity to design and create a mosaic of your own, whether you’re a beginner or have prior experience.
There’s so much you can create with mosaics, from small to large projects: home décor, art to display, household items, wearable art, and more.
Here’s just a sample of what you could create, and get in touch if there’s something else you want to do.
What Students Say
“I have taken a few different classes with Aleksandra and have loved each one (picture frame, side table, votive, mirror - just to name a few). She is very knowledgeable in Mosaic and loves teaching others. Aleksandra is patient and excellent in guiding you through your project, especially if it’s your first time and you’re not sure where to start.
She is great with color and helping you choose or narrow down your choices so you end up with a finished product you will love. I am so happy that I took that first class with Aleksandra and I cannot recommend her enough!!”
- Christine W., Mosaic Photo Frame & Slate Stone Mosaic
“Magnolia Mosaic Studio has everything you need to try a new creative art form! The mosaic art classes are beginner-friendly, fun, and expressive.
I keep coming back for more workshops because there’s always something new to create. And Aleksandra is the best!”
- Xiaoxi L., Pet, Bird, or Flower Mosaic Portrait
“This was my second class with Aleksandra at Magnolia Mosaic in Seattle. I knew we'd be decorating a photo frame with glass (but) I wasn't sure about colors or a pattern going in.
Aleksandra helped with color selection and created a plan to achieve the result I wanted. I really appreciate that she can answer any mosaic-related question—from the various brands of tools to where to buy glass and other mosaic supplies in Seattle if I wanted to continue on my own.
Working on the photo frame felt a lot like a jigsaw puzzle, but without a set outcome... and I even got to cut the glass pieces myself. Very relaxing. I can't believe I was considering buying a kit online instead. In-person mosaic classes are so much better than YouTube videos, at least when you're just starting out.
Highly recommend Magnolia Mosaic for anyone in Seattle looking to learn mosaic art hands-on.”

1. Cutting Tools:
The tools used for cutting tiles and glass are sharp. Please handle them with care and follow the instructions provided during class.
Always cut away from your body and keep your fingers clear of the cutting line.
2. Safety Glasses (Choose your personal classes or safety glasses):
Protective eye wear is required. Safety glasses are recommended to protect your eyes from small tile or glass shards during cutting. Feel free to bring your own or ask to borrow a pair in class.
3. Protective Clothing:
Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting messy, as we’ll be working with adhesives and grout.
Closed-toe shoes are recommended to protect your feet from any dropped materials.
4. Work Area Awareness:
Be mindful of others while cutting and assembling pieces to avoid accidental injury.
Keep your work area tidy to prevent slipping or knocking over tools.
5. Health and Safety:
If you’re sensitive to adhesives or grout dust, consider bringing a face mask.
Wash your hands thoroughly after working with materials to avoid skin irritation.
If you have any questions or concerns before the class, don’t hesitate to reach out.
