RAVENNA'S TECHNIQUE COURSE 40 HOURS

This course offers the opportunity to learn two Ravenna techniques: direct method on temporary binder (lime) and direct method on cement mortar.

The direct method on lime, invented in the 20th century in Ravenna, allows for methodical and precise work, enabling the creation of high-quality mosaic artworks.

Through the direct method on cement mortar, on the other hand, you will learn to create the mosaic gradually, in sections, day by day.

All steps and secrets of both techniques will be explained, with a focus on practical experience in cutting tesserae using the hammer and hardie.

You will have access to a variety of materials, including marble, smalti, and gold. During the course, we will focus on creating a replica of both a Roman and a Byzantine or medieval mosaic detail. Upon completion of the course, thanks to the acquired skills, you will be able to create all the mosaics you desire independently!
