Mercury Mosaics

I have worked with Mercedes Austin, Laura Stearns, Randi, David, and the other talented artists at Mercury Mosaics for many years. I have done dozens of installations for them, and am always ALWAYS impressed by the creativity, attention to detail, and total professionalism of the entire team.
Every client I have installed Mercury Mosaics tiles for has been thoroughly delighted with the hand made tiles, the customer service, and the wonderful experience of helping to design new tile artwork for their home or business. If you are considering hand made tile and/​or mosaic work, you simply MUST check out Mercury Mosaics. You will be glad you did!

Had a great time at the beginners class. Great mommy/​daughter activity regardless of age.

SO much fun… great way to spend a few hours with a friend being creative! Love my masterpiece!

Got a groupon for a beginner mosaics class here and it was great. I missed a class because of travels and they were kind enough to allow me to use my groupon past the expiration which was super nice. They make all of their own tiles themselves so the class projects you make are truly one of a kind. I ended up taking my rescheduled class with a friend and it was a fun girls morning in!
I made a great mirror and can’t wait to start making more stuff on my own. The class is small so you get one on one attention and they made it an easy and fun activity. I would highly recommend this especially if you already have an intrest in mosaics. Am I ready to tackle a kitchen yet??? Probably not, but I sure am inspired!

WOW!!! I have never even been inside this store, but I am in love with it. And I am forever indebted to Mercedes for her help on my mosaic project. She is AMAZING. She is not just amazing, she has heart. She really knows what she is talking about– I don’t think there is anything she does not know about mosaics. She is truly passionate about what she does, and does not mind, in fact, I think, enjoys, taking over an hour out of her busy day to help me with my art project. And then hours AFTER her work day to brainstorm with me, help me with my nipping technique, and countless other tips on grouting, hanging, etc. By the dimensions of my project, she was able to estimate exactly how much it would weigh!!! REALLY? It was such a welcomed surprise to find someone who really wanted to help me. She is kind, genuine, and cool. She really is a mover and a shaker (as her website says). Mercedes wants to have a special store, and I think her unique and genuine passion is refreshingly different, and what creates this special-​ness. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! When I move into my dream house, I will fly her to California to help me design my mosaic kitchen and bathroom tile!!! Yes, that is right Mercedes!

Took my second «beginner» class at Mercury Mosaics and I’m very happy with the way both projects turned out. Until I remodel my bathroom using their handmade tiles, I’ll enjoy my small scale creation! Next time I’ll be opting for their advanced class.
I thought they were organized in their presentation of the steps to create your choice of two different projects and gave ample time to complete the process during the class. I’ve taken alot of craft and art classes over the years and I thought the ladies did a fine job. Yes, the tiles to choose from simply are what’s available, however that’s the beauty of creating art… my opinion anyway. For the groupon price, it’s well worth it.

I took the beginners tiling class with my mom after she purchased a groupon. I have never really taken a recreational art class before but I thought this one was everything an art class should be. Fun yet a little frustrating. Don’t get me wrong the staff is great. They are super nice and helpful. The frustrating part is that the class is by no means cheap (60 bucks without a groupon) but the tiles they let you use are their imperfect and trash tiles. You can find some great tiles in there but if the class is full and you didn’t pick the table closest to the bins your selections can get dicey. They don’t have all the colors and shapes that you see on the website in the bins. They are also not organized in any way so for someone like me who tends to have a touch of organizational OCD this can be frustrating. I found tiles that I liked but not really enough to fill my board so I ended up with a lot of negative space. I like my project but I would have enjoyed a few more tiles to work with. I could just be picky.
I would defintely take the class again as it was really fun and I felt I learned a bit about tiling and grouting but I might bring some of my own tiles next time. If you can afford some custom tile job this is the place to go. Everything is handmade and gorgeous.
