The Mosaic Art School, near the Basilica di Sant-Apollinare Nuovo, offers courses in the art of mosaic.
There is an introductory five day course where you make two projects, one a copy of a Roman/Byzantine mosaic and one a contemporary piece. Once you have mastered this, there are classes in mosaic Portraiture, Carpet-Floor mosaic technique, 3-D mosaics, micro-mosaics, and mosaic restoration.
The students come from all over the world, and they are all ages.
Luciana Notturni -- mosaic artist, instructor, lecturer and acclaimed mosaic art restorer -- oversees the courses taught at the school.
The classes are held in English.
