A few years ago I was looking for a hobby that I might actually be able to do. Im no artist---cant draw, paint, knit or anything else. Somehow, I thought I might be able to learn to work with mosaic tile. I thought I could learn to "cover" a pot or a three dimensional object. After I found Visionary Artwork online, I called to ask a few questions about the beginning class. Being a fairly shy person, even the phone call was difficult for me. Not knowing my name, Mina addressed me as "sweet" and instinctively, I felt that she was the teacher for me. Minas kindness, sense of humor, and sincere interest in every student cannot be overestimated. She is a talented artist, and that rare, natural teacher that can change your life. I evolved from fear of a phone call, to entering an art contest! There really is a "Visionary" at 2915 E. Broadway in Long Beach, Ca. Her name is Mina. Barnes. Written by Elizabeth Ornelas

I spent a delightful day recently at Visionary Artware. The Gallery and Studio are filled with so many inspiring gifts that I really enjoyed exploring. I spent an entire afternoon creating my first mosaic that was engaging and a lot of fun. The staff are amazingly talented and they helped me complete a heat deflector protect my table from a hot pan or dish. I highly recommend checking out this lovely shop in Long Beach. I loved it..

You will find the most unusual gift items. Every time I visit the Gallery and Studio, I find something that I must have! It is the best place to go to find the perfect gift for a friend or family member that is not the same as what you find in other gift shops. Also, take a mosaic class and learn how to make beautiful and unique pots, planters, pictures, etc. The tiles are all hand made and quite beautiful.

I guarantee youll be smiling from ear to ear from the moment you walk in until you walk out the door! They have an incredible selection of merchandise. Please support this wonderful neighborhood store. Mary :)

Visionary Artware is a great place to find the perfect gift for that hard to buy for person. There are so many unique and one of a kind gifts there I didnt realize how long I had been shopping. I love supporting local businesses and Visionary Artware is definitely worth supporting.

I have to say this is a great place to learn art and give some of the best gifts to give. It is my go to place for all types of celebrations! I found it thru a living social for a mosaic class 5 years ago and wont go anywhere else!
