Mosaic Making 101: Bee & Butterfly Hydration Station

Registration ends Friday, 08/14/2026 1:00pm PDT

About This Event

Join mosaic making expert Kimberly Joy in creating a Bee and Butterly Hydration Station. Utilizing a terracotta pot and saucer, mosaic tesserae (or tiles), silicone and glass globs, participants will create a Hydration Station that can be nestled in a flower bed enabling insects to hydrate safely. A wildlife hydration station provides critical relief from extreme temperatures. It sustains local biodiversity by offering a safe drinking source for birds, bees, and mammals, aids in pest control, and creates vital microhabitats for amphibians and insects.

All materials are provided, just bring yourself and your creativity. 

 

Instructor Bio: 

Kimberly Joy was gifted with teaching children with special needs for 35 years, making teaching in retirement a natural transition. Her love of creativity, self-expression, and her desire to create community for other women, led to the creation of "Joyful Expressions" an intimate art studio in her Wilton home. Her first mosaic was a blue-tiled heart on a rock and thus began her self-taught mosaic journey.
