 Marvas Latest Piece - "Tranquility Of Life!!! |
Welcome to my wonderful world of Mosaic Art. I, Marva Jai, began my love of art ... in one form or another at the tender age of five. I was introduced to the beauty of stain glass art 26 years ago in Boulder, Colorado, but my focus shifted to the challenge and skillfulness of mosaic art. My passion is creating fine art pieces in mosaic; portraits, pictures, placards, and three dimensional art in glass that requires precise attention to detail.
I grew up in a military family, and lived in Japan as a child, therefore some of my art has an Asian influence. I also lived on the beautiful island of Kauai, Hawaii, where I taught glass mosaic work shops, while practicing my art. A few years ago I moved to Phoenix, Arizona to assist my ailing mother, who has since past away. Presently I reside in Flagstaff, Arizona. I have resumed teaching mosaic workshop again through private classes, and through Airbnb Experiences, for those interested in learning the basic mosaic 101 techniques. In 4 to 5 hours you can learn to use the glass cutting tools, how to complete the artistic process from design to grouting and finishing. The work shops are offered Thursday through Saturday weekly from 1pm to 5pm. The fee per person is $200, (20% off for groups of 2 or more per person). Classes are held in my home studio. All tools and materials need to complete your project are included.
For commissioning information for a custom mosaic design, or to schedule a private mosaic workshop for 1 to 4 people, contact me through the information provided at the top of the page. Many thanks to all who have expressed an appreciation for my mosaic art, and to those who have discovered the joy of creating your own mosaic art through my work shops.
