    My daughters and I attended Francines class for Mother's Day. What a fantastic day! Francine is a wonderfully creative woman. The group of people were fun and energetic and conversation flowed easily. We'll definitely be back!!

    My mom and I LOVED this class! She said it was seriously the best Mother's Day present she's ever gotten and I couldn't top it. All materials were provided and in generous quantities. If you were a slow worker like us and you didn't finish by the end of class you were sent home with more than enough materials to finish. Francine was so patient and helpful. She was constantly helping one of the eight of us in the class. She gave total creative freedom but helped you problem solve when you were stuck or she saw something she knew wouldn't stick. I would definitely recommend this class! Totally worth the cost!

    I bought the last two places for this class as a gift to my mother for Mother's Day and we had a lovely time. It was creative, fun, and the instructor was very nice. There were plenty of materials to go around and the studio was very cool. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in mosaic art.

    This was a great class! I took my friend for her birthday, we had a great time learning something new and we both ended up with a beautiful mosaic piece to take home. We both highly recommend this class :)

    I went to this class with a friend and had a great time. There is so much room for creativity - everyone had such different projects in the end. A majority of the class, including myself, had never dabbled in mosaic before and Francine was great. She was encouraging and helpful but never overbearing. I highly recommend taking it!

    This is a fun class to do with a friend. It's very laid back but the process is kind of tedious so having a friend to chat with makes it a bit more enjoyable. Francine was super nice and helpful. She had beautiful tiles to work with and a good selection of items to mosiac. If you have specific item you want to mosiac, I recommend bringing that with you.

    Awesome class!! in that one class, I learned to plan my project, cut glass and tiles, select the right materials and seal the mosaic in place for a finish product. The world now awaits mosaics art everywhere :)
