Brisbane – Mosaic workshop! | Gila Mosaics Studio

My Brisbane workshop was held at the home studio of Catherine Conaty. We had such a great time together, hitting it off immediately, as if we’d been friends forever!

One of the first places she took me, was to see a mosaic installation she did on this long wall for a private residence.

Here you can see some of the lovely mosaic, glass on glass, spinners that Catherine makes. I love how they brighten up her studio, and garden.

We had a super lovely group of people for the workshop. Several of them had extensive experience with stained glass, 2 of them being instructors at the Brisbane glass guild. Everyone did great work, while enjoying themselves and helping each other.

On the second morning we all met before the workshop at a local gem and stone shop. AMAZING…..

& their daughter, with her best friend, dressed up for a special event at school. Too cute!

Catherine’s husband Mark, a great guy & wonderful father. We had lots of wonderful conversations. Besides, he’s also a terrific cook, which was very much appreciated!

For a special treat, on my final day, I took Catherine for her first ever reflexology session. I love having a foot massage, especially after being on my feet for days, teaching and touring. Ahhhhhh!

And finally, A mandatory excursion to visit the Koala sanctuary….. pretty much impossible to spot them in the wild. Australia has so much cool wild life!
