Every piece is handcrafted — tiles are cut, shaped, and placed by hand. No mass production. The slight variations between pieces aren't flaws — they're proof that a person made it.
A one-woman studio. Hundreds of tiles. No two pieces alike.
Behind every design is a story — and behind every piece is Dania, a Jordanian-American entrepreneur based in Burke, Virginia, with a deep passion for mosaic art. What began as a creative calling became a full handcrafted collection, with every tile cut and placed by hand, one piece at a time.
From pedestal bowls and serving trays to wall art, jewelry boxes, lanterns, and seasonal pieces — each one is designed and made in her Virginia studio. Dania exhibits her work at local markets, art bazaars, and community exhibitions, where every piece finds a home.
Walk through the rose-red corridors of Petra, the ancient mosaics of Madaba, the golden Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, or the citadel walls of Amman, and you'll see tilework that has told stories of art and beauty for over a thousand years — cobalt, teal, and gold arranged in patterns that have outlived empires.
Dania grew up surrounded by this heritage in Jordan, with deep roots in Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Now, from her studio in Burke, Virginia, she brings that tradition into your home — on your table, your walls, your shelves, and into the hands of the people you give gifts to.
Four steps. Hundreds of tiles. One piece at a time.
Each base is formed and prepared — ceramic, wood, or mixed media — creating a solid foundation.
Geometric patterns are planned by hand, inspired by ancient Mediterranean architecture.
Colored tiles are cut and placed one by one. Every piece is hand-applied — no two are alike.
Grouted, sealed, and inspected. Ready for your home — built to last, made to be admired.
For food-safe bowls, the ceramic goes through multiple firings with a food-safe glaze. Every piece is checked for adhesion, durability, and detail before it leaves the studio.
From studio to showcase — meet Dania and see the full collection in person at local Virginia markets and art exhibitions.

Layla's Mosaic is a passion project turned into a small business, named lovingly after my daughter, Layla. In Arabic, Layla means "night" — the time when families gather, stories are shared, and tables are set with care.
Layla's Mosaic isn't just about home decor, it's about the story behind each piece. It's about celebrating imperfection, preserving memories, and finding joy in the everyday.
Every piece is made and shipped from Burke, Virginia. Your order is carefully packaged with foam protection to keep the mosaic safe in transit, and arrives at your door ready to use, display, or give.
You can also find us at local Virginia markets and bazaars — follow @laylas_mosaic for event announcements.
For families, by families — one tile at a time.
