Language of mosaic

Published on Jan, 2025

Out-of-this-world experience, joining mosaic artisans who have restored ancient sites and want to keep the art of mosaic alive. It felt like stepping back in time. Alex, Giulia and Giuliana are a close, fun-loving team with mind-blowing talent. They care about their art and sharing the language of mosaic with others. I would love to spend more time with them.

Unexpected Must!

Published on Jan, 2025

I wasn't sure what to expect. My family had an extended vacation in Rome and I wanted to find something that was more than "seeing." I booked this experience hoping it was not a tourist trap. We spent eight days in Rome and this was a highlight for my family. We spent 2.5 hours learning the history of mosaics and creating our own. The staff was friendly, informative and passionate about their work. The Coliseum, Vatican, Forum and everything Rome has to offer is fantastic...but don't sleep on this experience. If your traveling party enjoys art, history or having a new experience I would definitely recommend the mosaic workshop.

Exceptional!

Make your own Mosaic Art

Published on Dec, 2024

Alex & Leonora ran a wonderful experience. It was educational, fun and by the end you end you felt you made good friends. The mosaic project was so fun but a serious way to begin. They provided assistance and wrapped up everyone’s art at the end. There is also so many beautiful works to admire in the studio! I will have to return ❤️

Fun mosaic class

Published on Dec, 2024
