The Mosaic Art workshop by Nazish Bano, invited participants into the intricate world of Roman mosaic techniques reimagined for contemporary artistic expression. Over three immersive days, attendees explored the delicate balance between precision, rhythm, and creativity that defines this timeless craft.
Through hands on experimentation with ceramic tiles and traditional tools, participants learned essential processes including material selection, tesserae preparation, cutting, layout design, and surface finishing. The workshop also delved into classical opus patterns, andamento, and direct adhesion methods, transforming ancient craftsmanship into modern compositions rich with texture and visual harmony.
Blending historical knowledge with artistic innovation, the experience encouraged participants to develop confidence in translating traditional mosaic methods into fresh, expressive forms, connecting the past’s enduring beauty with today’s creative practice.
