Overview

Make your unique and timeless piece of silver jewellery in off-hand blown tiles as the technique of Roman micromosaics teaches.

Itinerary

Rome-based goldsmiths and jewelers, the Cassios had their workshop in the Trajan’s markets. It was here that in the 19th century they introduced the micro-mosaic pattern in the making of their valuables, thus pleasing and complying with the taste of the time. The workshop will begin with an introduction to Roman mosaic technique and history. Afterwards, you will practice the principles of texture, glass tile cutting to create your own silver jewel to take home. It is fundamental to us to transfer the real techniques of Roman Mosaic craft.

The amount of information given about the subject, the history as to how it originally started and some of the artwork is also shown in very well known places and the restoration artwork for the Vatican.

What talented artisans who were so willing to share their craft and help me when I ran out of ability.

What a wonderful experience! If this shop offered 1-2 week or month long summer intensives I would be first to sign up! I learned about mosaic arts and explored my creativity with the help of some amazing shop artists. Juliana, who conducted our class, was patient, encouraging and warm. We sipped espresso while carefully placing our glass pieces into the jewerly. We listened to classical music and it was a delightful time! What a lovely way to spend a morning!

First of all, Juliana has a marvelous passion for mosaic and could not have been a more pleasant and welcoming teacher. What a lovely person. Her enthusiasm made my family very comfortable with our obvious lack of experience in micro-mosaic work. I wanted to set up an experience “off the beaten path” in Rome for our family, including our high school-age and college-age boys, to do together. With a few thousand years of tradition behind it, learning mosaic in a shop with generations of experience seemed like a good idea. I was wrong. It was a GREAT idea! We not only enjoyed laughing and tapping into our varying degrees of artistic skills, but learned more about mosaic and its modern day use in restorations and new creations. I loved this experience, and our family now has beautiful (to varying degrees) keepsakes from our time. Highly recommended if you can get in! Worth double the cost.

We had a lovely experience learning about the art of mosaics and how to make micromosaic jewelry. I was afraid my teenage son would not enjoy it, but he was so proud of his piece at the end! The owners are wonderful and so friendly and patient and their work is so interesting and impressive. Very happy that we were able to find this experience!
