Mosaic Madness - Mosaic workshops for schools and communities - Bristol, UK

There are many definitions for a MOSAIC, however I like to describe it as a piece of art generally created using small pieces of tiles, stones, glass, etc placed together to create an image. An alternative version would be one supplied early on in my work by a little girl as,

"Mosaics are like doing a jigsaw puzzle but there are no wrong pieces."

Maybe not the most accurate but still very true from a child's view.

Below then is a list of useful and interesting Websites I have found giving information on mosaics, mosaic artists, mosaic suppliers, etc..
