HONOR Mosaic Luminary | Sympathy Gift Set

🕯 A comforting way to create in memory of someone
 
The HONOR Mosaic Memorial Luminary Kit is a mosaic artmaking kit designed for remembrance. 
 
Arrange colorful glass tiles around a glass votive holder to create a luminous keepsake honoring someone held close. All the art supplies you need are included in the box, along with some soothing tea, a sweet treat, step-by-step instructions, and a reflective playlist approved by a Board Certified Music Therapist. 
 
Whether used as a personal remembrance activity, a sympathy gift, or part of a grief support group, this experience creates space for reflection through the process of making.
 
THE EXPERIENCE
 
Working with your hands can offer a unique kind of comfort. The slow, tactile repetition of mosaic artmaking gives your mind a soft place to focus, allowing you to create at your own pace, follow your instincts, and let meaning emerge naturally. Once complete, the mosaic candleholder transforms into a glowing memorial to light whenever you want to remember, reflect, or feel close to someone you miss.
 
Two guided cards offer prompts if you want them, and stay out of the way if you don't. The finished luminary holds a flameless LED tealight, so it is safe to leave lit on a shelf or a table. 
 
The entire artmaking experience is intentionally designed to feel approachable, supportive, and deeply human.

That's why this experience has been thoughtfully designed for use in hospice care, bereavement programs, grief support groups, and by individuals looking for a meaningful way to remember someone they love.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER 
 
The HONOR Mosaic Memorial Luminary Kit was created by Samantha Dunne, artist, educator, and founder of The Ugly Art Studio.
 
With backgrounds in Fine Art, Sustainable Architectural Science, and Arts in Health, Samantha designs research-informed creative experiences that help more people experience the wellbeing benefits of artmaking. Her work draws from art, design, psychology, and neuroaesthetics to create experiences that feel approachable, welcoming, and meaningful.
 
Every detail — from the materials and activity guide to the packaging and playlist — is intentionally designed around one simple belief:
 
Art doesn't have to be good to be good for you.
