Class Description: Make a beautiful mosaic table for your home or for a gift! Learn the basics of the direct mosaic method that can be applied to many different surfaces.

Pros : Roy. He is a great teacher, and it is always fun to take one of his classes. He is very knowledgeable about mosaic projects. (The same goes for all the fusing classes I have taken with him). The choice of colors of glass was fantastic. He answered all the questions, and clarified the steps to cut the glass and how to finish the project.
Cons : There was just not enough time to work on the table top. Although, to be honest, I understand why the class ran from 10-2:30. By the end of the class, I was ready to put it away for awhile.
Other Thoughts : My guess is that I will probably not finish the table top until 2023! Not because I don't want to work on it, I just have a lot of fusing work to do in the next few months, and the mosaic table top is very labor intensive. But I really had fun.
Pros : This case allowed me to make a mosaic table that has impressed everyone. The instructor is extremely patient and entertaining. I would recommend to anyone.
Pros : Great class! Great value. The instructor encourages creativity. Go at your own pace with no pressure. I would gladly take another class with Roy!
Pros : Roy is awesome, supplies and variety of available tools, patterns and glass is truly the best in the US at DELPHI Glass. I can’t wait to take another class!!!!
Pros : This was our first class with Delphi and we enjoyed the class very much! Instructor (Roy) was informative, entertaining and very helpful. Having several color choices cut and ready did speed up the selection process. We look forward to coming back for another class!
Cons : Getting started was a bit slow with everyone choosing a different pattern than the one that was offered, but it all worked out fine in the end!
