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.

This was the most incredible experience and I will definitely be back. It took place in the most charming art studio in Trastevere. Every surface was covered with beautiful things. The experience was amazing, and my teacher is so kind and helpful. It really made me appreciate just how talented mosaic artists are. It was relaxing, peaceful, and absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend an experience like this.

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.
