Meet Kasia Polkowska & Kyle Cunniff
Teaching Online Mosaic Art Classes Since 2015

In 2015 Kasia’s first Online Mosaic Class debuted as a CD release. This was one of the first online mosaic classes on the market and has since been re-released as a fully virtual Online Mosaic Flower Class on this website. Additionally there are two versions of Kasia’s popular Online Mosaic Owl Class – A Regular Edition Class perfect for anyone wanting to experience Kasia’s mosaic process from start to finish as well as the Extended Edition of this class which offers a full immersion with enough content to explore for months. Kasia and Kyle have created this website together to share online courses. The page was designed to encourage people of all backgrounds and skill-levels to give stained glass mosaics a go! 

Kasia Has Been Creating Stained Glass Mosaics Since 2007

Kasia is a well rounded artist with a background in painting and drawing. She also loves taking photos of nature as well as creating ceramics for her mosaic art. One of her biggest passions in art though has been creating mosaic art with stained glass. She has been committed to the mosaic medium for 14+ years. During that time she has not only developed her own unique style but has become a source of inspiration for many which has eventually led her into teaching.

Sharing Love of Mosaics Through Creating Unique, Fun and Informative Workshops

At the beginning of 2014, Kasia and Kyle began teaching Kasia’s approach to the stained glass mosaic process via in person classes in Colorado.  Since then, they have taught hundreds of students in person, having each of them complete their very own mosaic in the allotted class time. In 2015, they took an 8 month road trip across the US, teaching pop-up mosaic classes in many places that they would otherwise never imagined being able to offer a class.  It was quite a ride to say the least! More recently the duo decided to focus on Online Education, now having three fully virtual workshops available to students worldwide – the Online Flower Class as well as the Regular Edition Online Owl Class as well as the Extended Edition Online Mosaic Owl Class.

The Creative, Dynamic Duo Behind Kasia Mosaics

 Kasia Polkowska is a stained glass mosaic artist and an entrepreneur.  Kyle Cunniff is her collaborative partner in art and in life.  He is an artist, a designer and an assistant mosaic instructor.  The duo met at and graduated from New York City’s Pratt Institute in 2006 where Kasia earned a BFA in Painting and Kyle earned a BID in Industrial Design.  Since completing their studies, the couple has been traveling the country until they settled in Colorado in 2012. They continually push each other in various artistic endeavors and assist one another in many projects, most recently delving into outdoor sculpture and building a sculpture park in the San Luis Valley.

Choosing An Online Mosaic Class and the Best Instructor
  • Research Your Instructor: Before enrolling in an online art class, consider your instructor’s qualifications. What is their background? How long have they been creating mosaic art? Most importantly, do they create artwork that inspires you?
  • Shop Around and Compare The Value of a Few Different Classes: NOT all Online Classes are created equal. Kasia has spent months working on rich content for each Online Class, designing engaging and educational class projects with easy to follow tutorials.
  • Reputation – What are other students saying? “The class is so instructive and easy to understand. Close up videos are so helpful and informative … a wealth of information! “~Patty from Texas
  • Hundreds of Students Improved their Skills With Kasia’s Help: Kasia has taught in person as well as online classes to hundreds of students since 2014.
  • Rich, Engaging and Extensive Class Content: Each of Kasia’s Online Classes has hours of video content divided into easy to follow lessons that each come with supplementary written text and imagery. Each class includes a full set of project templates at no additional cost to the students.

Don't wait. Start something creative today.

I have a lot of students say to me when they do finally take a class “I don’t know why I waited so long to try this out!”

With my classes you get all the support you need to start your mosaic even for a complete beginner. Don’t wait. Try out something fun and creative today.

Practice

Any artform or creative endeavor takes practice. As the old saying goes if you don’t succeed the first time try, try again. What we learn from working with glass is that when we do it wrong, it breaks. When we do it right, it breaks right 🙂 Practice. Practice. Practice.

Patience

This is one medium you really can’t fast forward through. Its a meditation. Respect the glass and it will respect you. Try your best to relax and get into the rhythm of work. If its not working out today, take a breather, stretch, go for a walk and come back refreshed, works every time.

Persistence

Stick with it. You work hard and you get rewarded. Get excited about the next piece and the next. Working with stained glass mosaics is the constant reward and reminder that each new piece cut, trimmed and shaped makes you better at what you do and your work will show for it.
