What is the creative group craft activity?
The Mosaic. This activity is designed for a group to have fun and to get to know each other a little better in a friendly, open environment. At the end of the activity the group will have created a ceramic mosaic with a tile from each person. The mosaic will then be dried, twice kiln fired and glazed. You receive a framed mosaic with one tile from each member of the group. The mosaic is ready about two to three weeks after the activity.
