MAKING MOSAICS

I create mosaics with natural stones, marble or glass mosaics imported from Italy. The tesserae are traditionally made with the professional tools of the mosaic artist: a hammer and a hardie in order to ensure that the stones are very precisely cut. This is the technique used by the mosaic artists of Ravenna. Mosaic nippers are used for glass or ceramic mosaics.

METHODS
The marble mosaics are usually made according to the 'direct' method by placing them onto a permanent support (which consists of placing the tesserae, section by section, directly onto a permanent binder of cement).

They can also be prepared with the indirect method or onto a temporary support. Traditionally, the use of a temporary support can be explained thus: the mosaic is first placed onto a lime binder.
