    So wonderful!
    Charmaine_L, Apr 2024
    I did this experience with my 13 and 14 year old daughters. The studio was beautiful and busy, and learning about the process of doing mosaics and mini-mosaics was so interesting. We had a lovely time with the instructor who even offered us cappuccinos. We made beautiful necklaces and they placed them on high quality chains. The studio is located in an artsy neighborhood with lovely non-touristy restaurants and bistrots. Would recommend to visitors wanting to explore the art of the region.
    It was very detailed and one on one interaction

    The amount of information given about the subject, the history as to how it originally started and some of the artwork is also shown in very well known places and the restoration artwork for the Vatican.
    Exquisite

    What talented artisans who were so willing to share their craft and help me when I ran out of ability.
    Creative and fun
    Patricia_M, Jul 2023
    What a wonderful experience! If this shop offered 1-2 week or month long summer intensives I would be first to sign up! I learned about mosaic arts and explored my creativity with the help of some amazing shop artists. Juliana, who conducted our class, was patient, encouraging and warm. We sipped espresso while carefully placing our glass pieces into the jewerly. We listened to classical music and it was a delightful time! What a lovely way to spend a morning!
    Top Notch Experience For The Whole Family!
    David_S, Jun 2023
    First of all, Juliana has a marvelous passion for mosaic and could not have been a more pleasant and welcoming teacher. What a lovely person. Her enthusiasm made my family very comfortable with our obvious lack of experience in micro-mosaic work. I wanted to set up an experience “off the beaten path” in Rome for our family, including our high school-age and college-age boys, to do together. With a few thousand years of tradition behind it, learning mosaic in a shop with generations of experience seemed like a good idea. I was wrong. It was a GREAT idea! We not only enjoyed laughing and tapping into our varying degrees of artistic skills, but learned more about mosaic and its modern day use in restorations and new creations. I loved this experience, and our family now has beautiful (to varying degrees) keepsakes from our time. Highly recommended if you can get in! Worth double the cost.
    Treat yourself!

    My daughter lives in Rome and this class was a treat for the two of us when we visited. The class was very small and great fun!
    Hidden gem!
    Tynika_W, Apr 2022
    Highly recommend this tour, understanding the history or mosaics was fantastic and timely as it was just before our Vatican tour. The artists ensured each of our pieces were great. All 12 of us loved our necklaces
    Unique and fun experience my daughter will remember forever - a highlight of our trip
    Sharon_H, Mar 2022
    Sara + Juliana were lovely hosts and terrific teachers. Juliana shared some history of mosaic art and then showed us the special technique we were to use to make our own micro mosaic jewelry. She was there to guide us when needed, but also let us do our thing and be creative. We created our own designs, cut the glass ourselves, and placed the pieces in the silver charm we each chose, which we will wear as a beautiful memento of our trip. The studio is in Monti -- a terrific neighborhood in Rome, with shops, restaurants, and lots of gelato. Well worth the expense!
    Lovely Micro Mosaic class
    Nancy_S, Nov 2019
    I had a lovely jewelry micro mosaic class day before Thanksgiving. Instructor was knowledgeable and helpful.
    Such a fun class!
    Jaime_V, Nov 2019
    I didn't even know I wanted to know about mosaics, but these women are THE mosaics restoration experts. They will tell you about how their family has been creating and restoring high profile mosaics for centuries. The class was engaging- and showed us how tricky it really is to create detailed mosaics. The Studio also runs more intensive classes and workshops on stone mosaics which I wish I could take.

    Very good history on mosaic. Speaks English well. Class was fun and left happy with my piece of Jewelry I made. I will have this memento of Rome I have made myself.
    If you are an artist, a jewelry...

    If you are an artist, a jewelry maker or a crafter TAKE THIS CLASS! There is a family in Rome that has been handing down the art of mosaics and micromosaics since they worked on the Vatican centuries ago. Creating mosaics. Restoring ancient mosaics. This family runs an art studio where they teach the art to others. And this class is a very introductory lesson. My husband and I took this class. I am an artist. He is not. Not only did we have a GREAT time, but we learned a deep appreciation of this disappearing art form. Our class was private, but two other local students were there working on their own mosaics. So we got to see their work, too, and learn about other mosaic art. And we left with some truly unique and beautiful souvenirs. Giulianna was a fun and patient teacher. This class is totally worth the cost and time and if we return to Rome, I will be returning to the studio to learn more.
    This workshop was amazing...
    Barbara_P, Apr 2018
    This workshop was amazing! Micromosaic is more than art! Juliana was absolutely wonderful, patient and friendly. My daughter 13, her friend 12, her mom and I participated in this workshop. We had so much fun. Our instructor explained the art of mosaics and then explained to us how to work with the glass mosaics. I had a wonderful time and a keepsake! It was worth the time and money. I strongly recommend this workshop to everyone!
