Maxwell Mosaics

Student Comments

“Hi Cathy - thank you again for the great class.  I truly enjoyed the class, your home, your art, and meeting you and your family, all great and true artists!  I think I'm going to love this. I felt privileged to take this class from you.  I'm gathering my tools and supplies and looking forward to designing something special. Just a reminder, keep me in mind for your next class.”

"What  I  loved about  the mosaic  class  given  by  Cathy  Maxwell was everything!   For starters, ALL  SUPPLIES  ARE  PROVIDED!   This  means  you  don't  have  to  run  around  to  two  or  three  stores  with  your  supply  list  in  hand....not  sure  if  you  are  getting  the  right  thing  and/or  buying  something  you  may  decide  to  never  do  again.  The  atmosphere is  relaxed  and  encouraging  and  you  get  the  satisfaction  of  a  finished  project  in  two  days.  This  would  be  fun  if  you  created  your  own foursome  with  friends  or  family  members.  Sign  up....you  won't  be disappointed...you  will  be  hooked  on mosaic  making !!!"                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Sue Mitchell                                                                         

 "I had wanted to create mosaics for quite some time, so finding Cathy's web site was an unexpected surprise.  Her class was just what I needed to get motivated, and to feel comfortable making a stepping stone.  Not just any stepping stone.  It is now a work of art in our garden.  Cathy is so talented, and the atmosphere in her workshop is perfect to stimulate the creative juices.  With her guidance, and incredible collection of materials, you can create something wonderful for your first project.  She was right.  Once you seal your project in grout, you are hooked.  I have used her resources, and found them very reliable.  In fact, I completed my first bird-house today...one of eleven or twelve projects I have planned.  Don't hesitate.  Take Cathy's class, and do it with a friend.  It's great!"

"Hi Cathy, I enjoyed the mosaic class very much.  The small class size was ideal for learning the various steps in mosaic design.  I liked being able to "choose" what project I wanted to do (pot, mirror, lazy susan, stepping stone) and I learned the difference between using flat tile vs. dimensional glass or objects that gave each project a different look.  Being able to use your tools and supplies to complete the project in two classes was really helpful and gave me a sense of accomplishment.  I found the handouts helpful when I needed to purchase tools, grout, and mastic for future mosaic projects I plan on making.  I would recommend your class to anyone whose interested in learning about mosaic art!  Thank you."

 "This class was a life-saver for me.  It's a great escape.  I have never considered myself an "artsy" person, but now I create mosaics like mad and thanks to this class, I create beautiful art.  I am constantly in search of new materials to use and new objects to mosaic.  The studio was full of great ideas and there were tons of textures and colors offered for use on your project.  I highly recommend this class for anyone who wants to create art."

"Hi Cathy, I really had a great time at your workshop.  Your non-judgmental, helpful way of teaching and explaining the process of mosaics gave me hope that even though I don't have a creative bone in my body, I can create a product that I am proud of and can enjoy for a long time.  I am looking forward to taking many more classes with you."
