5-DAY WORKSHOP
The Floor-Carpet Mosaic Technique is an interesting subject that we could not cover in the Standard Intensive Course.That's why we have arranged a special workshop, part theory, part practical, where will be simulated a mosaic floor installation (Roman-style floor)
The participants will be guided through the entire process: how to choose the project, the materials, how to divide the mosaic in sections, how to develop and assemble those parts, and much more.
The section developed by each students, will be mounted in a frame, and given as a reminder of the beautiful experience.
At the end of the workshop will be also given a certificate of participation.
The course is not only intended for large installations, but also for those mosaic inserts typically found on furniture, tables, garden decorations, etc.
The class is suitable for all skill levels, beginner to advanced.
