From a client’s blog post…

“Founder of Blue Hyacinth Mosaics, Shona, brought her skills as an artist and educator to help us put the (glass) pieces together. Each of us took a unique approach and had our own personal style. Our artwork was a way to bond beyond our usual work, and the entire experience was special.”
