Jill Simkins: Mosaic Wall Art
Fri September 25, 2026 @ 12:30 pm – 4:00 pm
A mosiac artwork is a handmade tradition of using small colored stones that dates back thousands of years to the Ancient Greek and Roman era. They constructed elaborate wall decorations and geometric designs in flooring and pathways. Modern mosaics are created with all kinds of materials. Buttons, shells, charms, beads, broken pottery, ceramic plates, and costume jewelry.
An 8”x 6” board, adhesive, grout, and bits and pieces of glass and pottery will be provided. Please bring a pair of safety glasses, a hammer, an idea or sketch to create, and any items you wish to add.
Cost: $35
Maximum of 25 / Minimum of 5 / All ability levels.
Please bring a pair of safety glasses, hammer, tile nippers (a few will be available to share) an old towel, and a sponge. Also bring miscellaneous plates, tile, broken vases, and ceramic pieces if available, and a sketch of your desired design.
Jill is an Organic Vegetable Farmer who creates art in many mediums; using plants and flowers, magical garden paths, oil or water-color paint, clay, and by using recycled, found or worn out items. Living her life working outside in the soil and discovering this beautiful world by hiking, backpacking, catering horse-pack trips in the High Uintah’s, river rafting, or camping in her vintage trailer, has given her a great respect and love for the outdoors, which she attempts to capture on canvas. She especially enjoys painting cows, farm animals, and people. Her work has been sold in several galleries throughout the West.
