Rock Mosaics for the Garden

IN-PERSON at Berkshire Botanical Garden.

Led by artist/educator Beth Klingher, students will create an outdoor rock mosaic to brighten their garden. Learn how to cut glass, ceramic and other materials and to adhere them to a large garden rock or cement block using colored thinset cement. Your mosaic may represent a flower, a plant, a tiny animal, or an abstract design. These rock mosaics will weather the New England winters and provide a colorful spark for your garden regardless of the season.
