Mosaic Oasis Studio & Supply

Really enjoyed the mosaic taster class! The instructor was very friendly and helpful, I honestly regret that I did not have more questions for since she was willing to do anything to help us perfect our pieces. My friends and I were caught in traffic and the instructor waited for us to start. They have tiles in all different colors and your design can be whatever you’d like! You also get to cut the tiles yourself so you really get the full experience here! There were only 5 of us in the class which was so nice! I finished a little late since arts and crafts are not my strong suit and the instructor was more than happy to stay a little late until I finished.
I will definitely go back! Be on the lookout for deals on Groupon :) Note they do redeem your coupon before you go so don’t be surprised like I was if you go to print and it says it’s been used! Make sure to make a reservation on their website since they do fill up!

A wonderful place to learn how to create mosaics. I took an intro class and then paid for studio time to create a backsplash for my kitchen. Suzanne and Betsy were so helpful with planning, designing and giving tips on installing my mosaic. They also have tools, a wide variety of tiles and other material and lots of enthusiasm. I am looking forward to learning more about this art form that is so accessible –whether you consider yourself artistic or not!

This place is great! I came in with a livingsocial coupon for the mosaic taster class. It was a lot of fun, and the instructor was really informative. She gave us a brief overview of the history of mosaics, from the ancient Greeks to modern Barcelona and Gaudí.
One thing to note about the taster class class is that the mosaics you make are indoor only. But afterwards, you can take more classes or do drop in hours to make something that can be outdoors.
Everyone was really personable, a few people came in to work on their bigger projects while we were there, and they were very sweet.
Each person gets a small mosaic – about the size of a coaster – to take home, along with some grout to complete your piece after the glue has set.
It was a great experience, and I can’t wait to go back!

After taking the Mosaic Taster Class in April 2014, I was hooked. A year later and I am still going strong. Each month I purchase Studio Time (Beginner and Beyond) which gives me the flexibility to work at the studio when my schedule allows. Suzanne and Betsy (the co-​owners of Mosaic Oasis) are wonderful and supportive teachers and I have found a community of fellow students who share my new-​found passion for mosaics.

lt all started a year ago with a 2 ½ hour Taster class and I was hooked! I now come to the studio twice a week to work on all kinds of projects (table tops, candle holders, pictures, jewelry, flower pots, etc). Betsy and Suzanne’s love of mosaic art is inspirational. They have created a welcoming environment that encourages creativity and artistic success! Most of all it is a fun!

Our family, which includes a 12– and 13-​year old, went to the Mosaic taster class and walked away with four mosaic tiles.
Instruction was clear, helpful, and honest: if a design choice wasn’t working it was kindly – not judgementally – pointed out. Templates were provided but freeform was also encouraged; materials were copious although as a beginner class we were reasonably limited to the less expensive materials. Grouting of the pieces couldn’t be done during the class but we were given instructions and powdered grout to complete the projects at home.
It’s a compact space so more than 12 – 15 people would be too many. Parking is on the street and no problem unless Arlington enforces the 2 hour limit. It’s in the same complex as a little bakery that kept us happily nourished after we were done.
We all agreed that we would go back to do another project – whether jewelry or other types of art.

Love this place! Me and my boyfriend wanted to try something fun. So we tried a mosaic tester class. Suzanne the owner is so kind. We had so much fun! We each made a mosaic and loved it. The class had about 6ppl in it so it wasn’t crowded or anything so it made it more personable. If your thinking about trying a fun art class try this you won’t be disappointed. Again we had a great time!

My boyfriend and I found a LivingSocial (or Groupon) deal and decided to learn a new art with their 2-​hour mosaic class. The place was easy to find and there was 2-​hour parking right out front.
The owners were friendly and informative. The class was 7 people with ages between I’d say 12 and 50, which gave both instructors plenty of opportunity for helping us and suggesting techniques, colors and tile styles to help us design a 5×5 mosaic to bring home. Plus, everyone’s mosaics were so different, and we got ot see and share them all with everyone :)
I loved learning about mosaics as an art and I was surprised as how much I didn’t know. It was really fun to learn from the two owners (I don’t remember their names unfortunately) and to try my hand at something new. Our mosaics came out pretty great for first-​timers, there were PLENTY of tiles to choose from and we had free range when it came to choosing a design for ourselves.
We went in knowing what we wanted to try and create, but the studio also has some templates you can trace to get a basic shape if you’re more comfortable with that. They were also great with explaining the shapes and colors that would make your piece POP and stand out, they even helped everyone choose which color grout to use on their piece.
Speaking of the grouting portion of making a mosaic: after your class, you have to let your mosaic sit for about 24 hours before putting the grout on, so you’re sent home with a little goodie bag with the grouting supplies you’ll need to grout your mosaic at home (you’ll just need a tossable plastic container).
The owners also said they have a deal where for $ 120 you get 10 hours of studio time and you can use their supplies to make whatever project you want (you supply the object you want to mosaic on, they supply the tiles, glue, cutters and studio), which I thought was a great deal if somebody was interested in learning more about how to mosaic after taking this class but didn’t want to buy their own supplies.
Overall, I would highly suggest this to anybody just looking to try something new on a Saturday morning and to spend time with somebody doing something different. The studio is bright a beautiful, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming (they even played some music while we worked, which I loved!)

This is a gem to find! Two women own the store/​studio and provide a variety of supplies and events/​classes. I booked a Saturday morning class and found a very small class size with an instructor so passionate about mosaicing it was inspiring. After a history of mosaics, learning about a variety of tiles, and discussing the art on the walls, we began our own small pieces. Now it was harder than I could have imagined because you’re timid since you’re cutting tile but once you get over the fear it becomes a creative experience. By the end of 3 hours I was comfortable with the methods and had a beautiful piece. They send you home with a bag of stuff to finish off the grouting of your piece. This was one of my favorite experiences trying something new because of the person attention. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to go back for a Friday night class!
