OUR MISSION. The most important things are that you follow our safety rules AND have fun!
SAFETY FIRST. You are working with sharp objects and tools. Please handle with care and heed all our safety precautions. Wear protective eyewear and gloves when required. Wear closed toe shoes and cotton clothing. Wash your hands when necessary to remove grout or materials that might have gotten on them.
TIMING. You can DROP IN any time and take a mosaic class during business hours. However, we advise that you call first to let us know you are coming and how many people are in your group. This is for your convenience as well as ours. It enables us to be ready for you; AND if we have a full house, we can advise you to come at a better time.
WE ARE IN NEW JERSEY. You must sign a WAIVER and read the CLASS POLICIES to take a class.
SECURITY. Pre-registration is required for scheduled classes. A non-refundable 50% deposit is required to secure your registration. If something happens and you cannot make the class you signed up for, you can apply your deposit towards another date within the calendar year.

COOL STUFF. All of our class fees include professional instruction and basic materials (glass, adhesives, fuels, tools, equipment, and fibers). If you want to customize your work with extra items such as glass nuggets, shells, beads, and art glass they are extra but are relatively inexpensive. You can add all sorts of cool things to your projects; they will just cost you a little more.
