This class was very informative. There is so much work and it needs to be appreciated. It was a great class.
Wonderful experience making mosaics with Giulia. I came with my SIL who only speaks Hungarian and my two adult sons, one of whom is autistic and noticeably different. I mention this only because Giulia gave him extra instruction and encouragement without this being shared with her. I used Google translate to translate Giulia’s instructions into Hungarian for my SIL so she could follow along. The consensus from the group was that everyone had a wonderful time and learned something as well. My SIL said this activity was her favorite of all we did in Rome. Studio Cassio also let me add my SIL and other son the day before even though the workshop was technically full (could not purchase more tickets). We are all happy to have our personalized souvenirs from Rome!
Went with my partner to a mosaic workshop for a more unique and crafty experience on our trip to Rome and thought it was amazing!
Our hosts were warm and welcoming, and showed their expertise as they walked through the Roman methods for making mosaics. They were also so helpful at guiding us when we were lost or unsure on how to make the design work.
Really pleased with the outcome and highly recommend it as part of any trip to Rome.
A lovely few hours trying something new and learning about the Roman history of mosaics. Highly recommend if you like crafts! Giulia is so knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming.
Julia took time and energy to inform us of the history of mosaics and showed us samples both ancient and modern.
She and the other workers in shop helped us with our little projects and even offered us something to drink.
This was the best activity we have been to. 10 stars all around.
This was a fun and educational experience, also something a bit different than the usual. Easy to find, very near train station.
This was such a fun and unique experience! The class gave me a great appreciation for the time, skill, and patience that goes into creating mosaic art. It was definitely challenging, but that’s what made it so rewarding. Giulia and Alex were both incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the class. As a solo traveler, I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something creative to do. It’s also a great way to ease the anxiety that can sometimes come with traveling alone. I was pretty happy with my first mosaic, and I already know I’ll be booking this class again the next time I’m in Rome!
This is a really fun non-typical thing to do in Rome. We ended up showing up a different time than what we had booked to ask if they could make room for us and they did which was wonderful. The class was really fun and the instructors were great! Highly recommend doing this. 😁
Really nice Ancient Tile mosaic class! We had a great time, met wonderful people, and came home with a hand-made souvenir.
A fantastic experience, me and my adult daughter attended this workshop together and we absolutely loved it.
Giulia, Alex and Leonora were very friendly, helpful and so patient.
The class was so much fun, we each got to make our own mosaic which we got to keep and bring home at the end of the class.
The group size was small which was good.The studio was lovely, filled with the wonderful mosaics, and air-conditioned too.
Would 100% recommend the workshop!!
Our family of 4 including two teenage boys (age 15 and 17) attended the mosaic class in Rome and had a fantastic time! The instructors, Alex and Julia were the BEST! They were very experienced and knowledgeable, but also fun! We left with our own mosaics as a souvenir to always cherish. I highly recommend this experience if you are in Rome on vacation.
Great learning about different Mosaic techniques with Alex and Julia, as well as a hands on experience making my own unique mosaic. I have a new appreciation for the amazing mosaics that I see throughout my travels.
This was a fantastic afternoon! We learned about different mosaic techniques, micro mosaic, and stone, glass, and gold/metallic materials. Then we tried our hand with expert help to guide us. An informative and fun experience that provides insight into a classic Roman art form.
We had a wonderful time. Julia was a great host and instructor. We enjoyed learning a little about mosaic history and making our own. Thanks!
What a fun way to spend an afternoon. Julia was an excellent teacher: very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. We had lots of options for designs and plenty of time to create our own. The following day we visited the Baths of Caracalla, and we definitely had a much greater appreciation for all the mosaics on display there!
A truly lovely experience, we learned so much and have more appreciation for the mosaics in churches now
WOW. This was an amazing experience, especially for someone who was brand new to this craft but fascinated with all the mosaics and stones around the city! I cannot say enough good things about my session with Giulia and Uliana. They were wonderful teachers, and I learned so much—and even walked away with suggestions of where to see more mosaics around Rome. I think it's really neat how connected they are to restorations and history, too. Cannot recommend this enough.
Fascinating! Challenging in the best way! Excellent teacher with deep knowledge of mosaics. I learned a lot while having fun making my own Roman fragment. My 15-year-old granddaughter was a star!
My daughter and I spent a lovely afternoon learning about the art of making mosaics and then had the opportunity to each make one for ourself. Alex and Julia were amazing instructors and we really had such a lovely time. It was a great way to break up a day of sight seeing. The studio is in a fun and vibrant part of town.
My husband and I had a blast! Such a unique experience! We wish we would have done it at the beginning of our trip so we could have marveled at the mosaics in the museums more.
Wonderful experience and a real authentic souvenir to take home. I highly recommend to all. Special highlight being the kind and informative tutors, taking us through the history of mosaics. Thanks again
Eleonora and Renato are both really kind and passionate, which makes this workshop very friendly.
I recommend 100% and will probably come back for another workshop on micromosaic!
You will learn about the different techniques of mosaic and make your own, with some advice. It was such a nice experience, as a solo traveller!
I recommend 100% and will probably come back for another workshop on micromosaic!
This was a truly unique, fun and memorable experience. We loved learning the history of mosaics and then creating one of our own. We left inspired to continue to create more on our own when we get home. The artists were friendly and encouraging. A true delight!
I went with my daughter and neither one of us has ever done something like this and the artist there were very patient with everyone.
The instructors were fabulous and explained things really well. It was a lot of fun to try something new!
Ok. THIS is the experience you want to have in Rome to cool off in the AC and and spend some time making your own keepsake. We now have so much understanding for the puzzle making abilities and craftsmanship of making mosaic masterpieces. It is incredibly therapeutic as well. We popped in for lunch across the street and it was delish!
Enjoy!!
Truly, truly incredible experience! The entire family loved it and got into it! The staff artists are so knowledgeable and helpful! And you leave with a special piece of Rome and a newfound respect for mosaics!!
We loved it!!!! It was my daughter (13yrs) favorite activity in Rome so far. Thank you for teaching us the history, art and technique of ancient mosaic - we might have found a new hobby when we return home!
This was a fun experience, we did the micro mosaic class the day before so it was interesting to see the difference in the styles. They went over the history and process of mosaics and we got to pick from a dozen or so patterns from ancient mosaics they have worked on in pompey to do for our own project. We got to pick from several colors of squares and they helped us make them look great!
Go go go! This was not your typical “art” class. The instructor has his masters in mosaic and is very passionate about mosaic, the history of mosaic and the restoration process. Really great way to get off our feet during our busy Rome vacation.
