Mosaic Flower Pots
July 11 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Event Navigation
Transform an ordinary flower pot into a colorful mosaic work of art in this hands-on workshop led by artist Jes McMillian. Participants will learn the basics of mosaic design and construction while creating their own decorative flower pot using a variety of materials and techniques.
Whether you’re new to mosaics or looking for a creative evening with fellow makers, this workshop offers a welcoming environment to explore color, pattern, and design. Jes McMillian’s community-centered approach encourages experimentation and creativity, making this an enjoyable experience for artists and beginners alike.
All materials are provided, and each participant will receive a plant to take home in their newly created mosaic flower pot. Due to curing and finishing time, completed pots will be available for pickup following the workshop.
Specialty cocktails and mocktails will be available for purchase from Cosmo Joe’s Atomic Lounge throughout the evening.
THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE HELD AT COSMO JOE’S ATOMIC LOUNGE(121 N Ludlow Street Dayton, OH. 45402).
