"The Roman Mosaic half day course was very inspiring. I felt I made a great leap forward yesterday and the course unblocked my hesitancy to get started on what for me is a new venture. The studio is full of beautiful and varied mosaics made from all different materials, demonstrating the variety of possibilities. After reading several books about making mosaics, there was nothing like the face to face experience of being able to see the different sorts of materials and tools and learn some basic "tricks" to get off to a good start. Like how to make and use the template, important knowledge about how to place and space tesserae, when and how to clip bits off a tile, which things you need to be fussy about and how to make curves and borders look right. And to take home the mosaic you made during the day, where you have tried out some of these dos and don'ts, is very satisfying. I would thoroughly recommend the course. Oh and Adela is a great mosaicist, teacher and host. Thank you."
