Grout Tasting Workshop--11/8/25

Saturday, November 8, 2025, 10am-noon
Kismet Mosaic, 2433 N Union Blvd., Colorado Springs, CO
Cost: $25/person

Grout. It can be the hardest part of the mosaic project. Specifically, what color grout to choose?

But along with the color is what type or brand of grout should I use?

In this class we are going to try as many grout brands as we can. We will discuss how grout can be used as a design element and how to avoid the possible pitfalls and problems that it brings. 

We'll work with sanded and unsanded grout and discuss the merits and drawbacks of each.

If you have projects you need to grout, bring them! We may not get them grouted in class, but you will definitely come away with the knowledge you need to finish them--and probably some grout samples as well.

You are welcome to bring:

• any grout tools you have
• a place to take notes
• a way to protect your clothing (apron, smock, etc.)
• gloves if you can't wear vinyl or need a size larger than small

NOTE: In spite of the title no grout will be consumed.

Cost: $25 per person 

Supplies: provided with class cost. Supply handout provided in class. 

Location: Kismet Mosaic, 2433 N Union Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO
