In this class, you’ll get all the instruction and materials you need to create your own unique mosaic tree, whether it be a traditional family tree, a memorial for a loved one, or a sentimental gift—for your family, a birthday, an anniversary, Valentine’s Day… the possibilities are endless.

* We’ll start with a high-quality 12x12 framed wood panel, custom-made for our class.
* You’ll paint the background or create a collage out of scrapbook paper (I will offer a nice selection), your own photos, old love letters, ticket stubs… anything you can think of!
* You will then create your tree out of stained glass, decorate it with items (that you provide) significant to you, your family, or a loved one, such as photos, jewelry, pins, charms, dog tags, etc., along with a provided selection of glass, beads, and glass and ceramic leaves.

Attached is a tree mosaic that I made for my mother recently, using mementos from her family and childhood. Your tree could look like this, or something wildly different!
