2026-06-12 17:30 - 19:30 | ArtWaves, 1345-A State Highway 102, Bar Harbor, ME, 04609, United States
Make Your Own Mosaic Pieces Workshop
What if you could create your own mosaic pieces ? Each student will work with clay to create and paint thin tiles appropriate for mosaics. Instead of relying on commercial materials, students will learn how to design and make custom ceramic components that reflect their own ideas, stories, colors, and textures.
Participants will be introduced to the basics of glazing bisque ceramic tiles as well as hand-forming clay tiles using a variety of decorative and surface design techniques. Through carving, texture, stamps, layering, words, imagery, and colorful glazes, students will create original mosaic elements that cannot be found anywhere else. The workshop embraces the playful “make and break” spirit of ceramics, encouraging experimentation with scraps, broken pieces, and unexpected combinations.
This workshop opens the door to unlimited creative possibilities. Students might create pieces for a family portrait mosaic, a decorative garden installation, a backsplash, house sign, stepping stone with poetry or meaningful sayings, candle holders, vases, birdbaths, gazing ball surrounds, or expressive wall art. The process invites storytelling, memory, and personal symbolism into the work while building confidence in ceramic and mosaic techniques.
This one of a kind workshop offers a unique opportunity in the arts district of the Acadia region to explore the creative possibilities of handmade ceramic mosaics. 6/12/2026. 5:30-7:30
Pair this workshop with an ArtWaves membership and continue your mosaic journey during open studio time, where mosaic glass and shared materials are available for ongoing projects and experimentation.
ArtWaves is offering a Mosaic Makers Special- combining the Intro to Mosaics class , a membership and the Make and Break ceramics. Become part of the growing ArtWaves mosaic community — a welcoming group of makers sharing ideas, inspiration, techniques, and creative energy together.

Participants work with dashi, urchin gathering, seaweed seasonings, and koji-based techniques to understand how ecology, process, and taste converge into umami.
Second Annual Community Miso Making
We’ll open the miso we made at Smithereen last year and make a new batch to put away for a year. This annual tradition anchors us to our shared cultures and the flavors that only arrive when we invest time into our relationships with each other, our culinary histories, and the microbial world. Whether you’re returning to witness the transformation we initiated or joining for the first time, we welcome you to our miso community.
