Many Hands, One Shared Purpose
Each mosaic began with an original black-and-white drawing created by artist and instructor Claire Lavin. Guided by Claire, the mosaic artists interpreted these designs through their individual choices of color, texture, and materials. The finished works celebrate both the original designs and the skill, dedication, and artistry of the mosaic artists who brought them into mosaic form.
Created through The Sacred Art Workshop of Sarasota, this collection reflects a shared belief that creativity flourishes through encouragement, collaboration, and faith. We proudly recognize each participating mosaic artist.
