Ancient Mosaic Workshop in Rome

A lovely few hours trying something new and learning about the Roman history of mosaics. Highly recommend if you like crafts! Giulia is so knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming.

Julia took time and energy to inform us of the history of mosaics and showed us samples both ancient and modern. She and the other workers in shop helped us with our little projects and even offered us something to drink. This was the best activity we have been to. 10 stars all around.

I’ve eyed this workshop on past trips to Rome, and I’m happy to have now taken the workshop. A nice break from the afternoon heat, Alex and co. led an engaging session that touched on the history of mosaic craftsmanship and their studio’s contributions. What better souvenir to bring home than a marble mosaic you personally made? I would recommend this to anyone going to Rome, whether the first or the next time, as having tried to make the art myself gives a new appreciation to its mastery.

This was a fun and educational experience, also something a bit different than the usual. Easy to find, very near train station.

Awesome idea for something to do that’s not touring churches or ruins. Great family experience. My daughter and I did the class today. It’s small and intimate so you can chat with the teachers and other participants. We love the pieces we made and will definitely try another class when we return to Rome.

This was such a fun and unique experience! The class gave me a great appreciation for the time, skill, and patience that goes into creating mosaic art. It was definitely challenging, but that’s what made it so rewarding. Giulia and Alex were both incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the class. As a solo traveler, I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something creative to do. It’s also a great way to ease the anxiety that can sometimes come with traveling alone. I was pretty happy with my first mosaic, and I already know I’ll be booking this class again the next time I’m in Rome!

What an incredible way to spend time in Rome. Alex was fantastic as an instructor, giving both the history and art of mosaic making. He is also very funny. We had the best time creating our own art, and he was very helpful in setting it up and encouraging us to do the work ourselves. We did this early into our trips, and it also helped us look for and appreciate the mosaics we saw on our visits. Took home a wonderful memory!

This is a really fun non-typical thing to do in Rome. We ended up showing up a different time than what we had booked to ask if they could make room for us and they did which was wonderful. The class was really fun and the instructors were great! Highly recommend doing this. 😁

Really nice Ancient Tile mosaic class! We had a great time, met wonderful people, and came home with a hand-made souvenir.

A fantastic experience, me and my adult daughter attended this workshop together and we absolutely loved it. Giulia, Alex and Leonora were very friendly, helpful and so patient. The class was so much fun, we each got to make our own mosaic which we got to keep and bring home at the end of the class. The group size was small which was good.The studio was lovely, filled with the wonderful mosaics, and air-conditioned too. Would 100% recommend the workshop!!
