Hello, Mosaic Members! 

We now have three new classes in the Membership Courses! Whew!! 

 Glass-on-Glass Window Hanging Class 
Picassette Bouquets
Hanging Beaded Sculpture 
  
I designed these courses to feature different adhesives and materials in each. The Glass on Glass uses Weldbond for a transparent result. The Picassette Bouquet uses thinset mortar with china and the Beaded Sculpture is with Apoxie Clay and beads. The lessons are efficient and packed full of tips, suggestions and some little mosaic stories too. 

This was a very ambitious month to complete these and I'm thrilled to now have them in the course library! They provide solid introductions to each adhesive, material and technique used. Feedback welcomed!

Calendar and Meeting Updates
 

Here is the list of events coming up for the month of July! 

Our next LIVE MEETING is next Wednesday, July 2nd at 1pm CST. Please send any mosaic technique and project questions you have from  and I will include them in our Q&A. We will also have time for our Member Meet & Greet, I hope you can make it! We always have such a great time! 

Question: Would you like a later meeting time worked in for a Member Meet & Greet? I am considering adding an evening meeting to August to give Members with conflicting schedules to the daytime meetings a chance to join us live. Let me know if you'd like that!  

General Membership Questions? Let me know! 

To review, we've added five new classes with coordinating kits since we started in December! Wow! 

Kits Coming Next: Glass-on-Glass Butterfly Window Frame… and more- surprises. :)

Studio Set Up & Organization
Mosaic Smalti
Mosaic Intentions and Reflections for 2025 
and more!

I've also updated my Amazon Shop with many of the products we discuss and use in the new classes.  I'm still sorting out international Amazon shop options as well and will share an update when that's set up.

OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS:

MEMBER'S SHOP
The Members Only Collection of my shop offers specialty materials only available to mosaic members. I am currently replacing the glass vase cut outs with a premium acrylic glass material as the quality of the glass cut outs have been touch and go, there are many in my big orders that I cannot use or sell due to flaws and chips. The acrylic glass has been a great alternative. We used them in my last in-studio floral classes and they were perfect! 

COPYRIGHT & INSPIRATION
I shared a post on this topic and appreciate all of your feedback and support! It is such a nuanced topic and having clear guidelines is helpful to all. I come across my work, videos and images being used without my permission all the time, cases not related to our membership but it's important to teach on this issue so we can learn together. I hope that you have found the article helpful in general. If you have any questions feel free to add them into the comments. Thank you!

Sharra's Office Hours 
I aim to visit the forum daily to review posts, respond to your exciting project updates and questions (please keep them coming!).  

If a question is urgent and time sensitive I will respond in the forum as soon as I'm able. If it is a general, non-urgent mosaic technique question I will incorporate it into a Membership Meeting within a Q&A segment.

In general, I will respond to membership questions and emails during the hours of 9am-5pm CST, Monday-Friday. *UPDATED 6/27
 

Share your questions regarding mosaic techniques, materials, tools, projects, challenges into the Membership's coordinating group or topic if applicable. This creates a record of our topics, discussions and progress which is so fun to see add up over time! 

If you have questions regarding an order, a technical issue, such as logging in, accessing a class, ect., email me at sharra@sharrafrank.com.

Thank you, so much! I'm having a blast building this amazing community of creative women with you all! Thank you for your important contributions and participation!  I hope to see you at our Live Members Meet & Greet next Wednesday, July 2nd!
