The history of the art, tools and materials, and techniques come first: bases, adhesives, and grout; shaping and placing tesserae; practical and artistic design considerations; and several methods of creating the actual mosaic. Put that information to use on an array of magnificent international projects—from a Blue Willow Tray to a Rock Garden Fountain—all beautifully illustrated and with the level of difficulty noted. Review: Has everything I was looking for! - I looked at many descriptions of mosaic books and took some out of the library to try. I was very lucky I picked this one to buy. It has a great section on the history of mosaics and many wonderful pictures. Then it shows in detail what tools you need and how to use them for mosaic projects. It describes the glues and the kinds of material you may be using: tessere, smalti, broken china etc. And then there are projects you can do to gain skill. I was looking for a book that had a more in-depth approach and this is it. I would recommend it to anyone interested in mosaics. Even if you don't do any projects, it expands your knowledge of the artform. I come from an art background and was interested in using mosaics for practical purposes like the garden. I also wanted to use the broken beads left over from making lampwork beads and this technique seems to be ideal for that. Review: Bible of Mosaics - I ordered this book upon the recommendation of an instructor in a new class: The Art of Mosaics. It's an excellent book for a beginner, an advanced student, or even someone just interested in mosaics. It gives interesting history with photos and then also covers tools, supplies, and techniques. I've found myself going back to it repeatedly for advice on the techniques and then to look at the excellent photos for examples. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone as your bible for mosaics!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,158,094 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #319 in Mosaic Crafting #7,045 in Art History & Criticism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 195 Reviews | ## Images ![Mosaic Techniques & Traditions: Projects & Designs from Around the World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/918zFMLAsgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Has everything I was looking for! *by S***T on June 3, 2009* I looked at many descriptions of mosaic books and took some out of the library to try.
