At the Mosaic Playground of Kismet Mosaic

Thanks for looking into our business. If you have any questions that aren't addressed here, please email us at info@kismetmosaic.com.   What do you do in here? We sell mosaic art supplies--glass and ceramic tile, wooden bases, and glue in addition to other miscellaneous supplies. Most of our business is online. We ship throughout the US.   Do you offer classes? Not at this time. However we do sell kits that are beginner friendly and don't require any tools.    Do you have beads? No. Our tile does not have any holes for stringing.
