Kids Craft Time: Mosaic Picture Frames
Saturday, January 24th, 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM in the Kaleidoscope Studio
These kids craft times are designed for the whole family to come and have fun. We ask that an adult accompany the child for the class—where you can choose to do the craft together or each work on your own.
In this fun workshop, you will learn to create personalized Mosaic Picture Frames. You'll use colorful glass and ceramic tiles to decorate a wooden frame. Mariah Reading will guide you through the process of arranging and gluing materials, helping you design a unique frame.
This is a fun, hands-on experience perfect for spending creative time together!
All materials and step-by-step instructions are provided.
