In this four-day masterclass, located in the Mosaic & Glass studio in Falkirk, Central Scotland, Belgium mosaicist Mieke Ceusters will guide you to create a modern mosaic that resembles an ancient Roman mosaic. She’ll explain how to cut each tessera (you’ll be using primarily marble with optional smalti accents) manually and place it in the right place. In this masterclass, you’ll:
- Get an understanding of the origins, cultural significance, and traditional techniques used in ancient Roman mosaic art.
- Choose from a selection design options (with options for beginners and advanced).
- Learn about the properties of marble and smalti, and how to use a hammer and hardie to cut them, to best fit the mosaic design.
- Learn the methods for setting tesserae, including proper placement, spacing, and adhesion techniques.
- Discover the “rules” of Roman mosaic and how to apply them in your work.
- Learn about andamento, the visual flow or direction within a mosaic and how to use it to best effect in your work.
- Understand the basics of composition, colour harmony, and pattern, as they apply to creating visually appealing mosaics.
- Improve your ability to troubleshoot common challenges in mosaic-making, such as spacing, alignment, and working with irregular shapes
Cultivate patience and precision, recognising how these qualities contribute to the art form and enhance the final work.
- Work on a 30x30cm Roman-inspired mosaic artwork on a wooden board, to take home as a tangible result of learned skills.
This masterclass will equip you with both the technical skills and artistic appreciation to confidently create your own Roman-inspired mosaics. It’s suitable for beginners and improvers. (Spaces are limited to eight students.)
