A great thing to do while you are in Italy admiring mosaics on floors and walls. Find out the skill involved first hand. The people are lovely and make sure you get the best result you can whilst also telling you about their work today restoring and making new mosaic art.

We had a really fun time with Alex and his lovely assistant. He is so informative and so dedicated to his art. It shines through everything. Such a relaxing and stress free activity. We made individual pictures ( I won’t say we are artists in the making !!) but he gave us every assistance and showed us every step carefully. His personality and warmth made it so enjoyable. A lovely memory of Rome to bring with us. Thank you so much.

Alex was a wonderful instructor. He did a great job explaining the history of the art and how to construct our own works of art! Alex assisted as needed and carefully wrapped the final piece to take safely home. We did this class on our first day in Rome so when we visited the Vatican and the many churches around Italy, we had a much better appreciation of the art work and expertise involved! It is supposed to be a small group in the workshop and a family joined us, although most of them really weren't interested in it. They had a toddler and took turns taking the child outside. It was distracting and I don't recommend bringing small children to this. The pieces of marble are very small and a real choking hazard.

Learning to cut tiles and design a unique piece of art for myself. The experience was fun and educational. Learning the ancient art of mosaic tiles was a unique and unusual time way to see a part of Rome that most won't see.

A very fun and educational experience. Alex and Andreana were great teachers and showed us examples of beautiful mosaics and described the different techniques. We were given many patterns to choose from and colors of mosaic marble tiles to use. It was a fun process learning to complete our mosaics. Definitely recommend!!!

Aleks and Juliana were kind, and helpful. The history of their shop was interesting, and it was good fun to spend a couple of hours learning about, and practicing the art of ancient mosaic-making. And to go home with an authentic souvenir!
