Description

Do you love art and Italian culture? Well, we offer the unique opportunity to dive into the ancient art of mosaic making using a truly innovative technique.

Mosaic making has been our family’s profession for over a century. Throughout the years we’ve mastered different mosaic techniques, both traditional and modern.

Our Pixel Mosaics Kit enables you to make mosaics from any photos or graphics. It’s not simply a mechanical process, though, as marble tiles come in a wide range of shades, surfaces and thicknesses, allowing you to create your own interpretation. It’s an easy, stimulating, and entertaining way of making mosaics!

During this workshop you’ll create your own self-portrait mosaic. A master mosaicist will share great tips and provide assistance as needed to ensure the best result.
Only one recommendation: send us a couple of your favorite pictures at list 24 hours before the lesson! we will provide to pixelate them to ensure a best result!
