Mosaic art is everywhere in Rome, but finding an authentic, hands-on way to engage with it, especially in a place like Trastevere, is nearly impossible. This 2.5-hour workshop in a real artist’s studio lets you create your own mosaic using traditional techniques, guided by a local mosaicist. With a small group, personal attention, and your finished work boxed to travel, this is the kind of souvenir that actually means something.

I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Nadia. She has been making traditional mosaics for 37 years. She patiently showed me what do do, explain and put my mosaic together. While I was there a group of regulars came in and I had the experience of being a part of there day. Highly recommend.
