Birdhouse McMansions For Mosaic Art with Katherine England

Every artist needs a surface to create on—but what if that surface could also become a whimsical, functional piece of art?

Can you imagine building a one-of-a-kind Birdhouse McMansion that could welcome your feathered friends, house lost and found items or simple treasures, or simply be on display as a reflection of your wildest ideas?

That’s exactly what you’ll do in this course with the always-inspiring Katherine England as your guide. Step by step, she’ll show you how to construct your very own Birdhouse McMansion for Mosaic Art—then invite you to design your own vibrant and whimsical mosaic design onto it.

This is more than just building a birdhouse; it’s about creating an imaginative structure that invites endless possibilities for design, storytelling, and joy.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

• Draw and plan your design (use one of Katherine’s patterns or dream up your own!)
• Transfer your design to foam board with ease
• Cut each element precisely from a choice of three different cutting tools
• Cut out windows, doors, and architectural details
• Use mesh and tile adhesive for strength and stability
• Assemble your Birdhouse McMansion with confidence
• Add special touches like a curved roof out of foam board
• Create a vanishing-point stained glass floor

And the best part? This project can be repeated again and again. Many of Katherine’s students have built multiple Birdhouse McMansions—each one more unique and expressive than the last. Now, through this online course, you can join in from anywhere in the world and experience the same hands-on teaching Katherine shares in her studio workshops.

What’s included:

• Two design patterns to get you started
• A detailed tech guide
• A downloadable PDF with tools, materials, and resources

By the end, you’ll not only have your own magical Birdhouse McMansion, but also the skills and confidence to keep creating more. This is your invitation to build, design, and let your imagination take flight.

NOTE: Katherine teaches very limited mosaic making in this course. This course is designed to teach you how to create the Birdhouse McMansion structure.
