Mosaic masterclass
–
Mosaic is an ancient and fascinating art form that involves creating images, decorations, or patterns by carefully arranging small tesserae to form a harmonious composition.
These tesserae can be made from a variety of materials, such as stone, marble, glass, ceramic, or coloured glass paste, each contributing unique visual effects through its range of colours and reflections.
About the masterclass
Creating a mosaic involves several stages.
The process begins with the conception of a preparatory design, which serves as a guide throughout the entire project. The surface onto which the mosaic will be applied is then prepared; this may be wood, a wall, or another suitable support.
The tesserae are then cut using specific tools and arranged one by one according to the design, paying particular attention to their direction, known as the andamento, which gives the composition a sense of movement and harmony.
Finally, the spaces between the tesserae are filled with grout to consolidate the work and give the mosaic its final appearance.
Our mosaic masterclass is suitable for:
- beginners
- art and craft enthusiasts
- anyone looking for a creative and relaxing experience
Masterclasses can be organised on any weekday (excluding Saturdays and Sundays), from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
