Custom Mosaic Work

Long Branch Mosaics – we are Eugene Knapik and Sheila Gregory. We’re two artists living in Long Branch (SW corner of Toronto) who began creating mosaics to enhance our own home. We now create mosaics to order in all sizes, complexities and themes.

Call Eugene at 647-518-2570 or email: longbranchmosaics@gmail.com to discuss a custom mosaic for your home or garden.

We make all kinds of indoor or outdoor work in all sizes and themes, including birds, butterflies and bears as well as large granite benches. Materials range from broken crockery and found objects to Italian smalti (glass) tiles. Prices vary depending on size, complexity and materials. Each project is a one of a kind work of art. We would love to make something special for your home.

Two Snowy Owls

In recent winters, snowy owls have been spotted in Colonel Sam Smith Park and even closer to us on Twenty Third Street in Long Branch. These beautiful large birds were the inspiration for these two owls.

Prepping for two snowy owls

We’ve used Russian Birch plywood for this new mosaic project – two snowy owls. The first stage is the initial drawing and cut-out of the shape. Next the backs and sides of the plywood receive 3 coats of paint. We’re going to use both broken crockery and some smalti tiles for these mosaics. For this project we will work directly on the boards and soon will start configuring and applying the tiles one small section at a time.

New Projects
