She has an extensive collection of every color, shape and size of mosaic tile imaginable and the know-how to help you create a piece of your own. She has studio times T, W, Th and classes and she also has space for tile parties on the weekend. Her hourly rates for studio use are very reasonable especially where she is also there to assist with projects. Be sure to check out her website as it contains many images of her work. I purchased two small rock tile kits as gifts and have already made plans to go over one evening for the studio time! We need more small businesses like this! One with enthusiastic and congenial shop owners who are anxious to help spark creativity and originality. Fingers crossed her business remains successful; she also has an online mosaic tile business as well.
