Tag: Tessera Mosaic Studio

When Joey posted the interview with Dennis at Tessera Mosaic Studio, I knew right away that my 10 year old granddaughter, Kylie, would be interested. So last week we took a day off from the beach and went down to take a look.

Well, it’s become Kylie’s favorite place.  Talia and Abby are incredibly encouraging and do anything to help someone get started on a project. The prices are reasonable and there’s a huge selection of bases and materials to choose from.

After Kylie picked out her flower base, she gathered  glass,beads, and other pieces for the center. It takes a lot of planning and problem-solving to create the design you have in mind.

Ky placed the pieces on the base to get an idea where they would go. We took a picture as a guide and she removed them so she could apply the glue. By following the photo, she glued them into place. (Of course, with some minor changes!)

People walked in to the studio to check out the projects or just to chat.

It’s a great place to hang out. Lots of positive creative energy.

Dennis is working on a huge piece, bit by bit, for a local business.

The studio was packed for the Block Party. Young and old wanted to try their hand at creating a stepping stone or a flip-flop stone. Dennis and crew were busy mixing cement, filling molds, leveling off the pieces. Ally, Dennis’s daughter, was taking reservations!

Kylie’s mom and dad got into the act last night. Now they want to do their own creations!

And to have a great time alone or with family or friends, visit the studio at 42 Main St. You’ll love it! Kylie and I will be there again tomorrow to finish up her pieces!
