COURSE FOR FAMILIES
HALF-DAY, ABOUT THREE HOURS
With this course you'll have the opportunity to create something special with your family, while learning the techniques of an ancient craft. Have you ever wondered how a mosaic is made? And what materials are used? How is the design transferred onto the cement? How does one cut the material into small bits (tesserae)? In this course you'll have fun while making a mosaic from start to finish. The course consists of a tour of our studio, the explanation of just what a mosaicist does, a demonstration of cutting material into 'tesserae' using the traditional hammer and hardie, preparation of the cement, the transfer of the design, and the creation of your own mosaic measuring approximately 25x 25 cm (a mosaic of this dimension allows up to six people to work simultaneously).
The final piece is yours and is ready to take home and hang on the wall a memory of a shared time and a souvenir of Ravenna, made with your own hands.
COST
The total cost of the course is € 200,00.
DURATION
The total duration of the course is about 3 hours.
GOAL
The goal will be to create one mosaic of about 25x 25 cm.
Online mosaic course curated by Mosaic Arts Online, with Arianna Gallo teaching her signature “Crazy Opus” composition technique.
In this course, you will learn how to use Italian and Mexican smalti, cut into small square tesserae, to create a composition that appears spontaneous but is carefully designed to generate rhythm, texture, and movement. You will also focus on color gradation and smooth transitions, with Arianna guiding you step by step.
Whether you're creating a background or a stand-alone abstract piece, this method brings a fresh energy to mosaic making—fun and liberating. It’s a technique that allows you to move beyond traditional andamento, while staying grounded in fine craftsmanship and your artistic intuition.
