Winter is my main time to teach in my studio. This summer I will offer the Agate Landscape class “on the road”, read below for dates and registration information. Watch for my upcoming classes this fall and winter 2010. Add your name to my email list and you will receive notice when classes are available.

Create a gorgeous 9 x 11” Glass on Glass window hanging.
This technique is similar to stained glass, but even better – more dynamic and much easier!

I’ve been teaching mosaic classes for over eight years. Most classes take place in my studio in the Northrup King Building. Small classes ensure a relaxed, fun, no pressure atmosphere for students to explore and develop their own individual creativity. I can also teach classes at other locations and am available as a visiting artist to schools or art centers. Feel free to contact me for availability at 612-423-9197 or slt@sheryltuorila.com.
