25.01.2022 Been busy creating creating more leaves this week. This leaf is 30cm long and have their unique blend of forest greens. Makes a good paper weight or nice on a window sill.
25.01.2022 Very humbled to be nominated this weeks Local Legend and have Channel 7 in my home filming some of my latest creations and interview me. Like a fine crafted mosaic, the team at 7news crafted this news story very well.
24.01.2022 A white Christmas These white and silver trees are a limited rare edition. Being so close to Christmas I didnt get the chance to display them at the cafe so please PM me if interested. $18 for the small, $30 for the medium and $40 for the large. Decided to make some whilst I had the free time over the past week
22.01.2022 Introducing a leaf in 100% mirror glass. This is my largest leaf at 70cm long and doubles as a nice mirror. (Me taking the photo!) All circles and shapes are hand cut and love the Art Deco look to it.
21.01.2022 Over the past 6 weeks Ive been busy handcrafting this 500x500 Art Deco square mirror just in time for Christmas. A timeless mosaic to be admired for years on end and my last commission for the year. Looking forward to creating many more mosaics in 2020.
21.01.2022 Latest Art Deco mirror- now up to my fourth one in the series. Measuring the usual 700x500. This one is a little different as it features a diamond glass bevel that appears red due to the reflection of the flash. Also the top triangle points downwards.
21.01.2022 Still looking for that unique Christmas gift? Just completed a a few of my Marble Spatkle Christmas trees to stock up for next year. Introducing a new style of a tree comprising of white, silver and iridescent pink marbles. The tall one is $55, $40 for the medium and $18 for the small trees.
20.01.2022 Spring has sprung with not only colourful flowers but more colourful glass mosaics. An additional 2 are now displayed at Nourish Cafe. This round mirror features coloured gemstones to give it a kind of 3D texture. And theres a clock. Tried to cut some glass flowers and that one has some green gem stones in it too. Clock is $48 (measures 25cm diam) Mirror is $60 (measures 45cm diam)
20.01.2022 Introducing another of my leaves. Instead of mirror glass, I’ve decided to use frosted glass in the leaf which looks just as effective as the mirror glass. Measuring almost 60cm

16.01.2022 Kaleidescope mirror - completed just in time for spring. Measures 700x500
15.01.2022 Introducing my latest coloured mirror, 6weeks in the making. Last time I did one of these was back in 2015. (Been doing a lot with the Art Deco frosted glass since then). Its always more challenging as the glass colours need to be spaced out to balance that correct contrast and flare with the neighbouring colour patterns and to ensure that the colours pop! Measuring 65 x 48cm and the mirror is covered with a sheet of A3 paper to avoid the flash! As can be seen, on the top t...he mirror is just 1 inch longer than the paper. The mirror has been sold and gone to a good home. Tried a few new patterns on this one such as a sun shining on the right, and some gemstones for a 3D affect. As always, theyre one-of-a-kind and if any would like to order one for Christmas, please let me know as they take a bit of time and can plan ahead. Something of this size is $350.
15.01.2022 Mirror no.4 in the series - this one is a little different to my previous three as the top triangle points downwards. And a different style of flower on the left. Also featuring a glass bevel for the diamond on the right. The flash makes it appear red.
14.01.2022 Some mosaics from my last few months in lockdown; was delighted by how this coloured mirror turned out. Measures 720x520
13.01.2022 My latest commission 8 weeks in the making. Was modelled after my Art Deco mirror series. Was a challenge to hand cut 27 unique square patterns - like a patchwork quilt, and all look great together. Measures 80x30cm. Love the look of it so much Im going to create one for myself over the Easter break.
12.01.2022 Looking for that Christmas gift? Come on out to the Spring Markets this Saturday morning where youll find my stall of my unique mosaics
12.01.2022 When my handcrafted mosaic leaf blends nicely on the coffee table with the other indoor plants Handcrafted this fine leaf last weekend. I find this smaller size a little more elegant measuring just over 20cm, and this time tried a black border glass tile for the centre vein as opposed to the silver ball-bearings. Sold a similar leaf last weekend and will make a few more leaves this week. This one pictured is $28 and have another one spare. Please msg me if youre interested. Soon, I might even try making crafting a leaf in different ambers and reds given that Autumn has arrived
12.01.2022 Branching out into sign writing- first completed the Welcome sign and then a house number to match.
11.01.2022 After a short break from my hobby, Ive had a busy a busy weekend sorting thru my stained glass. Looking forward to spending time in the studio should a lockdown occur. Its amazing going thru everything and finding glass colours I didnt even know I had, and all organised like never before. Now Im feeling more inspired than ever to be creating new artworks so watch this space!
11.01.2022 Showcasing the Briffa Family cost-of-arms. Fortunately it was not too intricate as the most challenging aspect was the 3 red flowers against the white. This was a one-off shaped MDF board, that I cant seem to find again, so all future ones will have to be done on the round MDF, like my St Joeys one I did last year. If you would like your coast of arms symbol mosaics please let me know. Proud to have done 3 logos now!

Can be hung vertical or horizontal. Also taking orders for Christmas so if theres anything you like such as this, just comment on the particular picture or inbox me For a heads up, I have a second leaf under construction, a little larger and another idea is that they can be placed down on a table as a centrepiece to serve the hot dishes on.

06.01.2022 After the first leaf sold, heres a different one. Wanted to try something different to a leaf cut-out this time by doing a regular rectangle. The outer fill is of shimmering silver which you can notice on the top half of the the photo as it reflects the light.
05.01.2022 Another sign writing commission complete, similar to my last one but a bit more lighter blue in it. I sell these for $80 and $40 for a house number. All are weather resistant and ready-to-hang. 55x17cm
04.01.2022 Another medium size leaf completed yesterday. This one is 40cm long and this time I put a black border on the edge and like my last one I love the use of ball bearings in it. The smaller leaf in the second pic is shown for a comparison. Can be hung vertically or horizontally.
04.01.2022 Introducing a floral arrangement You may have recognised this flower pattern in silver in some of my Art Deco mirrors. This mosaic is displayed at A Bowl of Nourishment Cafe (formerly Nourish Cafe) for $34.
03.01.2022 Hi All, welcome to my rebranded Facebook page. Formerly known as ‘Adrian Briffa Creative Design’, decided that it was a bit vague and that I wanted to reflect the fact that I work with stained glass, thus the name ‘Glass with Class’ sprung into my head as I was walking home from work one week. New mosaics will be posted in coming weeks
03.01.2022 First mosaic for the year. After selling one similar just before Christmas, all the reason to create another. I love handcrafting these fine favourites as no border pattern is the same. #mosaicart #artdeco #mosaicartist
03.01.2022 Introducing another of my leaves. Instead of mirror glass, Ive decided to use frosted glass in the leaf which looks just as effective as the mirror glass. Measuring almost 60cm

02.01.2022 Same glass texture patterns as my coloured Kaleidoscope series but with frosted and textures reflective glasses, giving the ultimate art deco style. As opposed to the coloured glass, this black and white type of finish means that that it can interact with any plain or colored wall. All mirrors can even be placed outdoors such as a patio or on a balcony
