Amazing!
I had not expected to have a real, hands-on experience. I created my own design, picked and cut marble, mixed the cement. I honestly expected to see something silly, with a prefabricated mosaic or almost. But it was nothing like that. I made it all from scratch.
We had so much fun making our mosaic. Nadia, the mosaicist, was a delight, and our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.
To see our teenage kids work with their hands to create something beautiful, a souvenir that will last forever, was absolutely priceless.
Thank you!
Great workshop.
This was a wonderful experience, one of the highlights of our trip!
Great workshop, highly recommend,
We had a great time!
A bit pricy, but worth it! We made our mosaics and this is really something unique, something you can’t buy.
