"Discover how destruction can be constructive. Our broken bits go on to become beautiful mosaic artwork, through local artisans, art therapy programs and student projects."

If your town or city doesn't have a smash shack yet, you might want to think about opening one, or about contacting this one for franchise opportunities.
