DESCRIPTION:

Uncover the ancient art of mosaic-making, a timeless tradition that has decorated churches, palaces, and homes across the Levant for centuries. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the foundations of designing and assembling mosaics using colorful ceramic tiles.

Guided by an experienced artisan, you'll explore traditional patterns and techniques, then create your own mosaic piece to take home. Whether geometric, floral, or symbolic, each design carries a sense of place, patience, and craftsmanship. It’s a creative and meditative experience perfect for those who enjoy working with their hands and honoring history through art.

 

PRICE INCLUDES:

• Introduction to the history of mosaic art in the region

• All tools and materials (tiles, adhesives, base, protective gear)

• Step-by-step guidance to create your own mosaic

• Your completed artwork to take home (or pick up after setting/drying)

 

DON’T FORGET:

• Wear comfortable clothes—we’ll provide aprons and gloves

• Expect to focus—it’s a calming but detailed process

• Suitable for ages 12+ with parental supervision

 

OUR TIPS:

• Choose your pattern early so you have time to finish

• Bring a small notebook if you’d like to sketch or plan your design

• Consider pairing this with a visit to local mosaic sites for inspiration
