About this activity

Rome-based goldsmiths and jewelers, the Cassios had their workshop in the Trajan’s markets. It was here that in the 19th century they introduced the micro-mosaic pattern in the making of their valuables, thus pleasing and complying with the taste of the time.

If you are an artist, a jewelry maker or a crafter TAKE THIS CLASS! There is a family in Rome that has been handing down the art of mosaics and micromosaics since they worked on the Vatican centuries ago. Creating mosaics. Restoring ancient mosaics. This family runs an art studio where they teach the art to others. And this class is a very introductory lesson. My husband and I took this class. I am an artist. He is not. Not only did we have a GREAT time, but we learned a deep appreciation of this disappearing art form. Our class was private, but two other local students were there working on their own mosaics. So we got to see their work, too, and learn about other mosaic art. And we left with some truly unique and beautiful souvenirs. Giulianna was a fun and patient teacher. This class is totally worth the cost and time and if we return to Rome, I will be returning to the studio to learn more.
