Museums & Tourist Attractions
€150,00
Become a mosaicist for a day!

Come and discover the art of mosaic. Before or after visiting the UNESCO monuments of Ravenna with its wonderful mosaics, also you can become a mosaicist for a day!
You will have the opportunity to discover the world of mosaic by visiting a real artisan workshop: you will be shown the materials used, the special tools used to cut the tiles, the different execution techniques. You will witness the manual cutting of the tiles using traditional tools: hammer and cutting board.
You can choose among some Byzantine motifs that you can admire in the monuments of the city and use glassy materials produced in the ancient furnaces of Venice.
You will actively participate in all stages of processing.
At the end of the experience you can bring home a souvenir of Ravenna made with your own hands.

Booking Confirmation
The workshop will be confirmed upon verification of availability by the mosaic artist.
Booking is not automatic: you will receive a confirmation email shortly after your request.


Participation with Pets
Pets are welcome, as long as you notify us in advance when booking.
Please note that the workshop is a working artisan space where marble, glass, and smalti are used daily: there may be small fragments, loose tesserae or dust on the floor, and other participants — including children — may be present.

We rely on the owner's sense of responsibility to assess whether their pet is comfortable and safe in such an environment and able to stay throughout the activity.
Feel free to bring a blanket, mat, or small bed so your four-legged companion can relax comfortably during the session.
This workshop also offers a spacious enclosed garden, where your dog can stay during the activity if that is more suitable.
