This volume unravels the simplicity of decoration and designing with mosaics.

The versatility of mosaics as a form of decoration is demonstrated in this illustrated edition, through an array of projects inspired by classical and contemporary influences alike. The book offers guidance on materials, equipment and siting your mosaic, along with 16 projects that draw on historical references from the ancients to modern-day designers.
