Bonnie’s classes/workshops are wonderful.  She is an inspiring and wonderful instructor. After the first classes I left with many wonderful ideas to try out.  I will definitely take all of the classes, workshops and trips she offers.

I’ve been participating in Bonnie’s workshops for many years.  I’m always guaranteed a great experience  learning, laughing, creating and sharing with fellow mosaic lovers. If you want to master new skills and have fun at the same time, you can’t do better than Maverick Mosaics!

I took my first art class with Bonnie a few years back – the introductory mosaic class she teaches at the Smithsonian.  I loved the class so much that I took it six more times!   Bonnie is always encouraging and the length of the course is such that it is possible to complete a finished piece.  She is full of good advice and open to questions.   Based on my love of mosaics,  I’m now a full time art student.   I may be a full time Smithsonian mosaic student as well!

About Bonnie

As an art educator with nearly two decades of experience, I’ve been privileged to mentor individuals of all ages in exploring and cultivating their unique artistic expression. Most of these teachings have been through the mediums of mosaics and sculpture.

As the founder and owner of Maverick Mosaics, LLC, I take pride in crafting distinctive learning opportunities. Since 1998, alongside my continuous teaching commitments, I’ve crafted numerous unique artworks for both private and public spaces while maintaining my own studio practice.

Dedicated to broadening the reach of mosaic education, I authored two best-selling books. In both, I share my design and fabrication experience, technical expertise, and collaborations with other artists. Since 2014 I have been the exclusive instructor of Contemporary Mosaics for the Smithsonian Institution’s Studio Arts Program in Washington, DC.

I’ve long been passionate about instilling an appreciation for community and public art in the upcoming generation. I developed the Maverick Legacy program, working with public school art teachers and, over a 10 year period, spearheaded a variety of clay and mosaic large-scale “legacy” works in several regional schools.

With Make it Mosaic Online, my aim is to ensure the sustainability of this art form by engaging and mentoring younger artists. Additionally, I strive to assist fellow art educators in seamlessly integrating mosaics into their curriculum.

All Make it Mosaics Online Courses build on the success of the Make it Mosaics YouTube Channel developed in collaboration with my colleague Kim Wozniak. Our information-packed channel has garnered over 2 million views across 100+ videos.
