We have plenty of work surfaces as the "Mosaic 101" projects are all done on table top.
Students find a place to work around this 30 X 30 foot heated studio and get busy making their first mosaic.
Some people who have done mosaic work before will receive a more advanced lesson than the "101" version but at the same price per student.

And this is the Good Harbor Guest House in the Summer, tucked in the shade of the Good Harbor Bay area's deep and wooded Lakeshore Forest. There are many paths right out the back door where guests can hike into the woods on numerous which lead up and down the Good Harbor Coast and out to panoramic lookouts over Lake Michigan, secluded beaches and some pretty awesome sunsets.
