Simple Roman motif
2 days / Decide for yourself when it suits you
€ 219
In this workshop for beginners you can get acquainted with this ancient craft and get started exactly as the Romans did.
You learn to use a mosaic hammer in combination with a chopping block. In Italian they call this Martelina (hammer), Ceppo (cutting block) and Tagliolo (anvil).
You split pieces of marble in various colors with the hammer, and then place these pieces of marble (stones or tesserae) in your design.
The examples you see here are 20×20 cm and you may not be able to finish it in 2 days (this depends on many factors, each time different for each person). So you can also opt for a smaller design, the choice of subject can be done in consultation. It can also be a small mosaic with, for example, the image of an animal…
Do you only want to taste and 2 days is sufficient, or are you willing to come back for another 2 extra days, for example. I would be happy to discuss it with you personally.
We work with marble, hammer and chopping block
The price includes materials for 2 days.
If you want to finish your work if 2 days turned out to be not enough, you pay € 20 per extra hour worked.

Mosaic Mirror
2 days / decide for yourself when it suits you
The price depends on the size of the mirror and the materials chosen. For example, a large mirror with a 5 cm border costs about €250.
You can certainly finish the border around a large mirror in 2 days.
A smaller mirror can often be ready in 2 or 3 half days.
You can choose the colors yourself, we combine marble with other materials, for example: smalti (these are stones from colored glass), small shells, or if your design requires it, other materials.

Color theory
Decide for yourself when it suits you and how much time you want to spend on it.
€ 20 per hour + materials
The color theory in mosaic has a bit different rules than the one for painting, which also makes sense, of course, since you can’t mix pieces of glass together like paint, but you place them next to each other. Your eye then continues to do the work.
You learn to use a mosaic hammer in combination with a chopping block. In Italian they call this Martelina (hammer), Ceppo (cutting block) and Tagliolo (anvil).
You use the hammer to split pieces of smalti (glass) in various colors, and then place these pieces of glass (stones or tesserae) in your design.
You also get a bit of ‘theory’ via a power point presentation and the necessary copies that you need while working.
Making a mosaic in color of about 25 x 25 cm or 30 x 30 cm takes about 5 days. But smaller is of course also possible, if you just want to learn the principle and the basics, you can choose to do fewer days. The aim is to pass on knowledge, so that you can also use it at home.
