Mosaic Secrets: Project-based Tips and Techniques for all Abilities
Autor Becky Patonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 sep 2025
In this attractive project-led book, artist Becky Paton imparts the secrets she has learned about making mosaics across two decades. Through these step-by-step projects - including mirrors, coasters, wreaths and disco balls - you too can master the art of mosaic design, working with ceramic and glass tiles, fossils, glitter and other materials, and setting pieces using grout, concrete and resin. An advanced section on portraiture then helps you to perfect eyes, mouths and skin tones, and special advice is given on working with schools and communities.
Whether you aspire to a large wall-mounted piece or just fancy adding a few sparkly highlights to your garden, this is the perfect guide to all things mosaic!
