Coastal Mosaic Magic: Create Your Own Shell Assemblage in a Shadow Box Art
Transform authentic St. Pete Beach treasures into a stunning, framed dimensional masterpiece during this hands-on coastal art workshop.
About This Event
Bring the soothing beauty of the ocean indoors! In this beginner-friendly craft class, you will design and build a gorgeous, multi-textured assemblage in a shadow box using real ocean elements.
This creative experience takes place inside an inspiring waterfront house overlooking a St Pete Beach canal where you can relax to the sights of the bay while you create in comfort.
Whether you are looking for a relaxing solo creative escape, a unique date night activity, or a fun outing with family or friends, you will leave with a professionally finished piece of coastal home decor ready to hang on your wall.
No prior art or crafting experience is necessary. Irina will guide you step-by-step through composition techniques, layering textures, and mastering structural adhesives to ensure your custom design stays flawlessly in place.
What You Will Learn & Create
- Design Composition: Arrange diverse mediums harmoniously within a balanced visual template.
