Overview

Rome is known for its ancient art forms, including mosaic-making that dates back centuries. This workshop lasts about two and a half hours in the afternoon, beginning at 2:00 PM in a local studio. Participants start with an introduction to traditional Roman mosaic techniques, learning about texture, composition, and how to cut marble tiles. Following the introduction, each person creates their own mosaic artwork using natural, local marble and supplied tools. The session includes tea, coffee, and bottled water. A frame and a sturdy box are provided to help store and protect the finished mosaic. Participants leave with their unique mosaic and the skills learned during this hands-on lesson. Transportation to and from the studio is not included.

Itinerary

The workshop begins with an introduction to the history and techniques of Roman mosaics. Afterwards, you’ll learn and practice the key principles of texture, composition, and marble tile cutting to create your very own mosaic to take home. Our goal is to teach the authentic methods of traditional Roman mosaic craftsmanship, so your artwork will meet the same standards and requirements as ancient pieces. By the end of the session, you’ll have created a personal mosaic — approximately 7” x 5” (about 18 x 13 cm) and weighing around 14 oz (about 400 g) — to take with you as a unique souvenir. This is a full immersion experience: you’ll work in a real mosaic studio and use professional tools. For safety reasons, we recommend this activity for participants aged 12 and above.
