Stylish & Simple Mosaic - Softcover
Mosaic is an ancient and versatile craft that can be used to transform almost any plain surface into a unique piece of art. As well as the traditional glass smalti and tesserae used by mosaicists for centuries, broken pottery, pebbles, and other natural materials can be used in today's designs. Using their combined experience as artists and teachers, Emma Biggs and Tessa Hunkin show how even a complete beginner can master basic mosaic techniques. They then explain the use of colour, pattern, and texture using as examples pieces they designed for public and private spaces. Simple and Stylish Mosaic is packed with ideas and inspiration for over 30 contemporary designs for the whole house, including a colourful animal frieze for a child's bedroom, a graphic fish splashback to brighten a dark bathroom, and the perfect garden table for outdoor entertaining. With practical step-by-step instructions, and over a hundred colour photographs, Stylish & Simple Mosaic will inspire the novice and the more experienced mosaicist alike.
