Come for a two day mosaic table class! Bring a template of your 
table and we’ll create a substrate OR bring a glass table top to work 
upon. In this two day class, we’ll spend the first day learning to cut 
glass and tile using a variety of tools both electric and manual. We’ll 
learn how to cut substrates (platforms) for indoor or outdoor work. 

We’ll focus on designs, adhesives and options, processes that will 
enable you to work on a variety of projects in the future. Using 
your own resources and your secret stashes of cherished ceramics or 
glass, you will gather the materials to cover your table top, including 
treasures gleaned from thrift stores, garage sales, and tile store 
seconds and broken pieces. 

 We will provide tools, adhesives, gloves, grout, mixing containers, 
colorants and an unlimited supply of ideas! We’ll also have a 
box of “rescue glass” and “ceramic treasures” to spice up what you 
bring.

 YOU WILL NEED:

- Your substrate OR a template of your table top

- Glass or ceramic pieces to cover your table top

- Mind that the “depth” of the pieces is fairly uniform and that 
you have enough for coverage of the entire piece.

- Bring an apron or wear old clothes. We’ll be using different 
kinds of adhesives this time.

- You may wish to have a piece of cardboard, tarp or old cloth to 
put under your table top for the ride home.

- You will need eye protection.....feel free to use ours or purchase 
your own more comfortable pair of goggles and LABEL it.

- Bring a sack lunch or snack for sustenance!

“Currently, approximately 12 percent of the inpatients at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles come from the San Gabriel Valley. By establishing 
a new outpatient center in Arcadia, we intend to bring our pediatric expertise closer to the children and families living in the San Gabriel 
Valley, making it more convenient for them to access the world-class specialists at our hospital,” says Rich Cordova, CEO of Children’s 
Hospital Los Angeles.

The Humane Society Commends 
Arcadia for Sparing Coyotes

The Humane Society of the United States applauds 
the city of Arcadia for suspending its coyote 
trapping and killing program. The HSUS had 
raised concerns with City Council of Arcadia 
about this inhumane and inefficient approach to 
reducing conflicts. While The HSUS remains concerned 
that the coyote killing could be revived, the 
City’s decision to attempt humane and effective 
approaches is a good one.

On Jan. 18, the City Council unanimously 
voted to halt its three-year, $30,000 contract with 
Animal Pest Management, the local company 
that carried out the program. At the meeting, the 
council was presented with a petition signed by 
1,000 Arcadia residents asking that the City use 
humane methods for resolving coyote conflicts. 
The City Council agreed that their contract with 
Animal Pest Management did not make fiscal 
sense and opted to focus on the education of residents 
instead. 

“Communities such as Denver have achieved 
great success in reducing coyote conflicts using 
humane techniques,” said Lynsey White Dasher, 
urban wildlife specialist for The HSUS. “The previous 
method, besides being cruel, was both expensive 
and ineffective. We commend the City 
Council of Arcadia for seeking more humane and 
sensible solutions.”

Effective non-lethal techniques include education 
on ways to avoid and minimize conflicts, 
managing trash and other items that attract coyotes, 
and “hazing” - using scare tactics on coyotes 
who have become too bold with humans. Coyote 
hazing helps restore the fear of humans back into 
habituated coyotes. Hazing involves the systematic 
use of deterrents such as noisemakers, projectiles 
and water hoses.

coyotes and protect your pets, visit: humanesociety.
