In the picture is a detail of a mosaic outside the House of Octavius Quartio in Pompeii.
They are among the most distinctive features of Pompeii: mosaics of animals, mostly dogs, but also dragons or ducks, fish. Often the mosaics of dogs were placed at the entrance of peoples' homes, exactly where a modern welcome mat would go. Some even bear a familiar sign: Beware of the dog (cave canem).
I think you can be just as good. I will provide some of the ancient designs that you can change or find inspiration from, but feel free to come with your own ideas. You will have a choice of a mosaic on wood or on plexiglass. Even though the mosaics in Pompeii were done with tiles, we will explore glass mosaic.
Join us for a relaxed, hands-on glass mosaic workshop where you can sip, create, and connect! Perfect for beginners and seasoned creatives alike, this experience will guide you through the process of cutting and arranging colorful glass pieces to craft your own unique mosaic masterpiece.
