The class was exactly the info and hands on doing that I wanted. I feel ready to go make my wall mosaics now- totally worth the time and money for this class! I feel like I know how to put mosaics up on a wall, which is 100% what I wanted to learn. All my questions were answered patiently and in detail.

The workshop was so worthwhile, it was just "off the charts"!! The instructors' knowledge, energy level and enthusiasm was outstanding. If there are graduate level courses in mosaic art, then they are here. I will remember this week for years to come and it will have a great influence on my work in the future.

I really liked the structure of my class. It was very individualized and allowed everyone to work at their own pace on their project. The instructor was terrific, very experienced, helpful, full of ideas, patient and obviously a very talented artist. She was excellent at helping us at all stages of our projects. I would definitely recommend this program/school to others and I would take this course again!

The Chicago Mosaic School is wonderful. It provided a relaxing, comfortable, bright environment condusive to learning and creating mosaic art, or art of any kind for that matter. The teachers were very knowledgable and talented, but very attentive and encouraging. I thought the instruction was comprehensive but not overwhelming. It was everything I hoped for and more.
