Just outside Lazise, on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, this mosaic-making session takes place on a quiet countryside terrace looking out over vineyards and rolling hills — a world away from the crowds of the busier lakefront towns. What makes it different from a standard craft class is the technique itself: the ancient Roman art of direct mosaic-making, applied here as a genuinely hands-on, personal process rather than a demonstration. You choose your own tesserae, colours and design, and the piece you finish is entirely your own work, guided throughout by a professional artist trained as a restoration technician. No experience is needed, and small groups keep the atmosphere relaxed. You leave with a finished mosaic to take home, and with the memory of an unhurried afternoon spent creating something by hand while sharing an aperitivo of local wine and snacks with the group. Everything you need is provided, so all that's asked of you is a bit of curiosity and time to slow down.
