Mosaic Oasis Studio and Supply in Arlington will open its doors on Friday nights for the months of November and December to give people a chance to create handmade mosaic gifts for the holidays. “There is a trend toward handmade gifts in which the receiver is given a one-of-a-kind gift while the giver benefits, too,” says co-owner Suzanne Baratta Owayda. “The person making the gift has the pleasure of learning a new skill, being in a cheerful studio with other mosaic artists and exploring the creative talent that is found in each one of us.”

 Mosaic Oasis sells handmade mosaic jewelry and art in addition to offering customers a place to learn the ancient art of mosaics in workshops and lessons. “These special Friday nights are fun at the Oasis,” says Baratta Owayda. “People get to discover hidden artistic abilities and turn holiday stress into gifts that will be cherished forever.” The studio is regularly open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Mosaic Oasis Studio and Supply is located at 1189-B Massachusetts Ave. in Arlington. For more information, call 781-316-1667 or visit MosaicOasis.com.
