Discover the secrets of ancient Roman mosaics and create your own masterpiece!

A fun and hands-on private workshop with an expert mosaic artist – a creative experience for the whole family!

Have you ever wondered how the Romans created those incredible colourful mosaics that still decorate the floors and walls of ancient buildings?

Now you can discover the secrets of this ancient art – and, even better, make your own mosaic!

FROM ANCIENT ROMAN MOSAICS TO YOUR OWN MASTERPIECE!

Mosaics were everywhere in ancient Rome.

Romans used tiny pieces of stone, marble and glass – called tesserae – to decorate their homes, public buildings and baths. They created colourful scenes representing animals, gods, gladiators, food, nature and everyday life.

During this experience, children and adults will discover how Roman mosaic artists worked and why this technique was so important in the ancient world.

But this is not just a lesson about mosaics.

It’s time to become mosaic artists yourselves!

Let’s discover the secrets of the ancient mosaic artists and let’s use them to make our modern mosaic! The whole family will be involved in a unique experience!

We will be in a real mosaic workshop, where an experienced mosaic artist will introduce you to the materials and techniques used to create a mosaic.

First, you will choose your design, then you will learn how to work with the small coloured pieces and arrange them to create your own composition.

Step by step, with the help of our expert artist, you will transform a simple drawing into a real mosaic.

And the best part?

You get to take your artwork home!

LEARN BY DOING
We will learn to make the mortar and discover how to use small stones instead of colors… it will be fun to discover that we are artists and we did not know it!

This is a hands-on experience designed especially for families.

Children can experiment with colours, shapes and patterns while learning how much patience, precision and creativity are needed to create a mosaic.

Adults are very welcome to join in too – in fact, this is an experience designed to be enjoyed together.

Forget computers and tablets for a couple of hours and use your hands to create something beautiful!

The workshop is suitable for children and adults and no previous artistic experience is required.
