Mosaic Necklace Workshop - April 26

Celebrate the special women in your life with a hands-on mosaic necklace workshop centered on creativity and connection. Participants design and craft two necklaces using a mix of beads, charms, and colorful glass. It suits anyone making something for themselves, preparing a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift, or sharing meaningful time with a mother, daughter, or other mother figure. The experience is relaxed and creative, and everyone leaves with two finished pieces and lasting memories. All materials, tools, and instruction are provided, so nothing beyond a willingness to create is needed. Tickets are $60 per person, with a $54 rate for museum members. Members can log in to access the discount.
