On Tuesday, January 31st, 5 to 7pm, Blackstone's of Beacon Hill will kick off the store’s 35th anniversary with the launch of its ‘Meet the Maker’ Event Series. Jessica Gusar of Live In Mosaics will be the first featured local artist showcasing her mosaic collection that includes both wall art and functional pieces created from durable materials such as Italian glass smalti, mirror, stained glass and 24k gold leaf. Guests will have an opportunity to watch a live demonstration by Gusar as well as work one-on-one with her during the event to create their own custom mosaic piece (prices will vary), ready in time for Valentine’s Day.


Artisanal and architectural mosaics date back as far as 300 BC and were a highly developed and precious art form in Hellenic and Roman times in Europe. “Mosaic art is a timeless trend. I refine and update this traditional art form into something modern. The combination of design, color palette and materials that I use make the pieces sophisticated and allow you to express your individuality and create a unique space in your home,” says Jessica Gusar. At the event I will be featuring one of my signature items, customizable frames ~ perfect for that unique, one-of-a-kind wedding gift,” adds Jessica.


Blackstone’s has carried Jessica’s mosaic-shell ring dishes, frames and mirrors nearly since her start in 2013. For this “pop-up” event, we will also offer her mirrors, coasters, jewelry chests, vanity trays, wine holders, and wall art. Jessica's art makes the perfect gift for any occasion including wedding gift, housewarming, engagements, anniversary and just because!


Attendees will also enjoy refreshments, event specials, and a chance to win a custom mosaic frame. RSVPs are encouraged - [email protected] or 617.227.4646.
