Awesome - This was so much fun and we got some great necklaces out of it. She explained a little bit of the history and process of making mosaics and we got to pick from several necklace or ring shapes to do. They offered us a drink while we worked and helped us if we struggled. I would do it again! And we took the other mosaic (not micro) class from them as well the next day

I had the most amazing time! I loved knowing the history, and creating something I've never created before! - When our instructor went over the history of mosaics. I carried that knowledge throughout my travels in Rome.

Not your typical mosaic class! - A most enjoyable morning spent with exceptionally talented, focused, and patient artisans of micromosaics. They create dazzling examples of this ancient craft. Bring your best pair of glasses!

Perfect Core Memory - What a wonderful time. The instructor started with a little history and education of mosaics and styles. Loved that! Then we chose our piece shape. Guided us on how to get started and all the mastered walked around and looked, advised and cheered us on as we created. They even treated us with a lovely coffee of our choice from a cafe across the walkway. So special! We loved the class! And the special souvenir, handmade by each of us, made it the most perfect day. Affordable and fun. Could not recommend this class more.

Perfect short workshop! - Great workshop! Well organised, nice working space, friendly and experienced staff. The prefect formula for a short (3h ish) worship in Rome. You will create the nicest gift ever!

Bring your patience and you'll have a great time! - Loved meeting the staff, including multiple interns. Starting the mini-mosaics was very fiddly. Be prepared for detailed work and concentration. But after working for a while and getting good pieces to work with, it was enjoyable. Staff were helpful and encouraging. We walked away with beautiful pieces that we're so proud of! Bring your patience and you'll have a great time.

COULD have been an amazing experience - This could have and should have been an amazing experience. I took this class to make something. The teacher knows her stuff. Explained well. File given to use was so inferior to the one she used- could not do what was shown (hers a true triangle file - mine a rounded triangle diamond file.) I was not allowed to try what I wanted… I would have been happier to simplify my original plan bu changed my plan to fit hers… then she kept coming over and taking over my piece… moving what I was placing… then took over completely. I left with a lopsided unbalanced version of what I was trying to do. I would have rather left with an unfinished piece of my own work than what I left with. My husband was so excited for me and thought I’d want to go back for more. Truely I would have wanted to continue on to take more classes if allowed to do my own work. At over a hundred euros I wouldn’t take the chance to have the same thing happen again. Could have been best experience of a 24 day stay in Rome, sadly was not. The two women there were extremely nice. I will probably chip out what was done and redo it somehow.
