Hiddur Mitzvah swirl

How The Hiddur Mitzvah Project Works

Step 1

At your event, participants create glass mosaics that will eventually adorn the product you choose. We provide everything you need, including detailed instructions. This is the creative part! Both the memories and the mosaic will last a lifetime.

Step 2

When the mosaics are finished, wrap each one, covering the glass entirely. Arrange them in stacks of 5, and wrap each stack tightly in plastic wrap. Then ship them back to The Gary Rosenthal Collection studio.

Step 3

In the studio, we unwrap the mosaics and code them with special ink that won't come off in the kiln. The edges of the mosaics are trimmed evenly, and gaps between tiles are filled with finely ground glass called frit. Each piece is fired in a kiln, fusing the glass into one solid piece.

Step 4

When the glass cools, it is joined to a metal base and finishing touches are applied. Then we box the pieces and ship them back to you!
