Sylvie and her team are amazing! They are active mosaic artists and it was fascinating to hear about their work. They were so patient with my questions and we had so much fun making jewelry and they were all so helpful! I love getting compliments on my new necklace!
This workshop was so much fun! On top of that, I love the piece of jewelry I created. The artists running the workshop were very helpful and encouraging. Even though they had a full class, they made sure we all had the attention we needed as well as ensuring we left with a finished piece. Plus just being in the space with so many beautiful mosaics and learning the process was an experience. I highly recommend this for any creative minded people who would rather “do” than “see.”
This experience was absolutely amazing. The staff was so kind and helpful throughout the whole mosaic process which provided to me tricky at times. A great deal was explained about the history of mosaic which was very interesting and beneficial to hear before going to the Vatican. Such a unique and fun experience to add to your trip to Rome it was such a highlight.
I gave this experience to a friend, she was very happy and liked the experience. She brought with her a unique pendant created with stones of the colors she wanted.
This was an amazing experience! We did this class after doing the tile mosaic class because we had so much fun! What a great way to learn, create, and go home with a unique and personal souvenir! Our instructor was wonderful and she taught us about the history of micromosaic and did an amazing job in teaching the class to create something unique and special!
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
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.
Dear Beth, thanks for letting us know, it is important for us! We have many tools and files, and had no idea that yours was not working. We are sorry you felt your piece was taken over, we were very scared of sending you home with an unfinished piece, because if the pieces are not tightly packed, they’ll come loose in no time! We really hope you will want to come back, and we are sure we can make the experience much nicer for you! It was a pleasure for us, thank you for coming and for all your observations!
The entire staff is lovely and made it a wonderful experience teaching us to make a beautiful mosaic. Highly recommended!
The micromosaic class was a wonderful experience! The staff were, knowledgable, helpful, and friendly. We loved making our necklaces and treasure the souvenir of our travel to Rome!
When our instructor went over the history of mosaics. I carried that knowledge throughout my travels in Rome.
