Pagosa Springs Artist Open Studio Tour

You might be double checking if you are seeing correctly 😂 YES!!! I am working on my annual mosaic sculpture for the upcoming Alamosa Artscape 😁 This work-in-progress was one of the many pieces of art that visitors to the 3 day weekend Open Studio Tour got to see in person in my art space in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

I no longer give in person mosaic classes so this was a unique opportunity for mosaic art enthusiasts to get some pointers or tips from me. I still had some clear float glass left over from my teaching days so I was prepared to share my glass cutting techniques with anyone interested. People were also able to preview the steel base for the mosaic sculpture and ask questions about any aspect of my sculpture process.


I've worked with glass mosaics since 2007 and have thought easy to follow techniques to hundreds, perhaps thousands of glass lovers through out the US and beyond! You can still take an Online Mosaic Art Class with me virtually https://www.kasiamosaicsclasses.com/ Ps. The open coffee mug was added to photo to freak people out just for fun lol Always keep your beverage away from the glass cutting station 😅 

These days, mosaic projects are a novelty for me. Due to the time consuming nature of the medium and my limited time as a mom of two boys, I mostly paint as a professional landscape artist. My mosaic work is strictly designated for the annual Alamosa Artscape an outdoor art exhibit in downtown Alamosa - the heart of the San Luis Valley. The 2024-25 season is my 8th year of participation which is always an honor.  

Besides the mosaic sculpture shown above, my studio is mostly reserved for my Colorado inspired mountain and night sky paintings which line the walls throughout.
