Mosaics course
Mosaics are sometimes used in garden design, One example is in Villa Jorn, in Luguria, where the artist owner used several techniques to create pots, staircases and pictures.
| This course will teach the basic techniques to create |
 |
| mosaics. |
| |
| We will examine the history of the medium and the various |
| techniques used to create these works of art. Different |
| materials will be examined, such as coloured stone, glass |
| and marble. The direct and indirect methods will be |
| examined as well as the "bucatura" technique. |
| |
| During the first four weeks students will learn basic mosaic |
| techniques and will study each of these in greater detail |
| from the fifth week. |
