Virtual classes often provide downloadable templates to guide your first projects. However, as you gain confidence, you can explore your own designs and ideas.
“Starting with templates is a great way to learn the ropes,” says mosaic artist and instructor, Lisa Hoffman. “Once you understand the basics, the creative possibilities are endless! You can create mosaics inspired by nature, abstract art, or even personalized portraits.”
