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.
• Medium Layering: Stack shells and glass elements safely to add striking three-dimensional depth.
• Material Mastery: Identify individual shell types, faux and natural sea glass fragments, and porcelain mosaic bits.

What Is Included in Your Ticket

• Art Tools & Adhesive: Non-toxic adhesives, tweezers, and specialized placement tools.
