Nancy Keating leads Mosaics Garden Workshops & Classes as a professional artist and mosaic instructor who discovered her mosaic passion over 25 years ago and has spent thousands of hours in her studio developing and perfecting her mosaic techniques and artistic style. She received intensive training at the Institute of Mosaic Art in Oakland, California, and has studied under mosaic artists Laurel True and Isaiah Zagar. She is a juried and chosen Indiana Artisan, Carmel Arts & Design Artisan, and Indiana Glass Trail Artisan.

Many at-home mosaic kits include all materials needed, and some specify no tools needed and no sharp edges. The Fun Mosaic Owl Kit and Rainbow Mosaic Butterfly kit are described as suitable for children ages 5 and up with adult supervision, with no sharp edges and no cutting required. The Water Lily Beginner Mosaic Art Kit is listed for ages 12 and up with no tools needed and no sharp edges, and the Glass Mosaic Art Frame Kit is listed as suitable for ages 12 and up and includes some sharp edges. The Intermediate Glass Mosaic Sunflower Kit requires wheeled mosaic nippers, which are available as an optional add-on, and workshop fees include all materials and tool usage for the specified workshops. Kits are shipped via USPS or US Priority Mail, and free local pickup is available.

The studio where in-person workshops are held is described as a private mosaic studio with small class sizes of about 8 or 9 students, filled with materials that students use to create their own mosaic pieces, and as an immersive experience where students learn, laugh, and leave with a finished piece. The Mosaic Garden Pole Workshop includes the design and creation of a 30-inch tall PVC garden pole with a topper and adornment, and traditional workshops include 3D pique assiette and glass on glass mosaics. Beginner-friendly online video courses, including Online Tempered Glass Mosaics and Garden Mosaic Pole courses, are available any time and are described as available 24/7 and never selling out.

Nancy Keating’s community involvement includes sixteen large glass mosaic butterflies installed along the Monon Trail in MidTown / Carmel, Indiana, and two large outdoor glass mosaic murals titled “Cosmic Flow,” measuring 40 feet and 20 feet tall, installed outdoors in Carmel, Indiana. Her artwork appears at juried art exhibitions and galleries, and people local to Carmel can shop her mosaic art at Carmel Art On Main or Indiana Artisan Galleries.

Parent and student feedback includes comments such as a student saying a day of instruction and encouragement filled gaps in understanding about cutting glass, another student describing the course as a lot of fun and super engaging with excellent instruction, materials, and studio space, and another thanking Nancy for a fantastic mosaic class that was fun and well taught. Additional comments include a student calling the artistic energy in Nancy’s Mosaic Studio inspiring and recommending the workshop to everyone, a student saying they learned a lot in a very short period of time, and another describing the course as excellent and thanking Nancy for sharing her time, talent, and passion for mosaic art.
