INSTRUCTOR BIO: 

 Peggy Markham became interested in mosaics in 2018, and micro mosaics in 2024. She loves to share what she's learned and mosaic jewelry is fun to create! It doesn’t take long to finish a piece, and it’s a great beginning to get into the world of mosaics!

Peggy's art style is mostly expressive and whimsical, using vibrant colors and bold lines. She likes mosaics because she got to collect all kinds of tesserae (pieces you use to create your mosaic) like pre-made tiles, jewelry pieces, old dishes, broken glass, sea shells, etc., and incorporate those things into her designs. Teaching encourages her to continue creating and allows her to meet new people and encourage them to believe in their creative abilities even when they think they have none!
