Valentine’s Day 2018

A creative night out, with no art experience needed! This is one of our favorite holidays, because we love hosting memories! This is our 15th year! Paint pottery, make mosaics, make a chunky candle, or just visit our jewelry bar and Tea Largo.

Sign and date your pieces, and always remember Valentine’s Day, 2018. All welcome. No reservations, walk-ins only. Our 2nd floor party loft seats 30, and it will be available as well for overflow.

PicassoZ will be open at 10am -9:30pm on Wednesday, Feb 14th. We heart our customers! Allow a week for pottery to be kiln-fired, but chunky candles and mosaics goes home with you same day.

Tea Largo is open 7am-9:30pm Feb 14th! Tea Largo is our cafe inside our building, and they have a seasonal menu of tea lattes, boba teas, cold brew drinks that are memorable as well! The HOT pink dragonfruit bowl with strawberries, coconut and a pink spoon is surely Instagram-worthy on this holiday.

Looking to PAINT something FOR your Valentine? Our pottery painting deadline is Friday, Feb 9th, 9:30pm!

Mosaic Something Winter Break

OPEN NEW YEARS DAY 10am-9pm!

Mosaic some art this week!   Maybe not necessarily this large kitchen table like Manager Shelly did, but mosaic something this Break!   Its fun, it can be fast, and it goes home with you!   Making mosaics is also beginner-friendly!   This means that it’s easy to learn the basics for a great mosaic in about 5 minutes, and all mosaics look fantastic once they are grouted!

  1.    Select your surface in our studio.   They start at $21, and all surfaces include a take home grout kit.   Keep in mind we do have a grouting service available if you can leave your surface with us for a week or so.
  2.    Select your “tesserae”.  That is the fancy word for pieces.   Grab what you need from our assortment of glass, ceramic pieces,  wood pieces, in various shapes, colors, textures, etc.
  3.    Arrange on your surface.
  4.   Start gluing them down.
  5.   Wait 24 hours to grout.  

Yep, that’s it.  No firing, no cutting, no wondering how its going to turn out…   What you see is what you get.   This is a great activity for kids 8 and up.

Mosaics & CaNdLes

Looking for something creative to do you can take home with you?   Our walk-in mosaic studio, Breakables, is adjacent to Tea Largo, with cafe style seating so you can “break away”, relax, and create.

When we moved to our Cleveland Heights studio in December, one of the most exciting things we did was expand our mosaic studio!    For almost a decade, our mosaics were in “bits and pieces” on a wall in a corner of our studio.   It was surprising how popular they were for how little space they had.  Being a self-taught mosaic artist, the mosaic side of our building is my favorite!   It’s got loads of glass, ceramic, sea shells, and even drift wood pieces to work into your project.

Our shapes are visible and nicely displayed on the walls, and we even added ceramic words, letters and specialty baubles that are available at a minimal charge that can really make your piece pop.  Mosaics go home with you, so they are a wonderful activity if you drive in to spend the day with us in our silly building of creativity.

ChuNky CaNdLes belonged in our Breakables Studio too, since many of the candle wax options we have to build your candle with are indeed breakable.   We make slabs of thin colored candle wax that breaks apart, and then looks like a beach glass.   Of course, candle chunks are still on hand, for building a pillar mold candle or a glass jar candle, with your choice of fragrance!

Breakables is open:

Wednesday-Friday 10-6pm

Saturday 10-9:30pm

Sunday 12-6pm

Spring BREAK week features mosaics, of course

Yes, we at PicassoZ love a good play on words.    So, we’re playing up the “break” and loaded up promotions in our Breakables Mosaic Studio.   If you haven’t visited yet, its really grown in popularity as a nice, relaxing environment to create in.   It has a different vibe than PicassoZ, and is a little more sophisticated, but not much, LOL.   It’s still walk-in, and still DIY.  But with mosaics, you can take your creation home with you!    Our hours are a little different in Breakables, 10-6 and this Spring Break week, we’re open

Monday-Friday 10-6pm

Saturday 10-10pm

Easter Sunday all our shops are closed.

See our event calendar for an assortment of fun mosaic specials, and even some that celebrate the fact that it still is Easter Week!
