Would you like to make your own mosaic using the traditional method?
| We offer both evening classes and 5-day workshops -- something for every schedule, whether you live locally or would like to take a week-long artistic retreat! |

Evening Course
During this course students will be instructed in the Ravenna technique and will learn to use the same tools and materials used by craftsmen over 2000 years ago: the hammer and hardy; marble and smalti. Students will complete a mosaic in the traditional style to take home.

Workshops
During the workshop students learn to use the traditional tools and materials, as described above.
Traditional: Participants complete two mosaics, one in the traditional style using the Ravenna technique, and one in a style of choice using the direct technique.
Table: Participants create a mosaic using the Ravenna technique; the mosaic is then installed into a small table.
Mirror: Using the direct technique, participants complete a mirror frame (mirror included). *** This is a 3-day workshop.***
