Average Customer Ratings:

With the breathtaking work of hundreds of artists on display throughout, this visually arresting volume showcases mosaics from all corners of the globe and teaches the skills needed to produce 15 beautiful pieces. 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.

Sonia King is one of the most talented and diverse of mosaic masters of the current age. Her well known generosity and willingness to share her knowledge shine through in this beautifully photographed book. From beginner to advanced, all can come away from reading this book with a fresh inspiration to try something new. This book goes from traditional beginnings and understanding of the art, to contemporary tools and ideas that inspire. This is a must have for any mosaic artist or fan thereof!

A great book for reference and practical use. -
I am just a beginner but I think this book is very informative and gives great techniques and ideas for doing mosaics. Sonia King draws from many historical traditions of mosaic making and gives you very good background on the art. Her work is of the highest quality.

Mosaic Techniques and Traditions -
This book creates instant inspiration the moment you open it. When I need the "Juices" to get going, I take 20 minutes to browse through this wonderful book and I'm ready to start a new project!

Great book by a great mosaic artist -
I had the good fortune to take a class with Sonia King. She is very talented and has a wealth of informaton which she shares very effectively in her book. Not quite like taking the class - but the next best thing if you can't meet her in person. The book is very inspirational and informative.

Detallado y muchos tips para principiantes y experimentados -
Para una autodidacta como yo, ha sido fantástico poder contar con este libro, en el cual la autora entrega todos sus conocimientos, tanto de historia, materiales y técnicas. Es un libro completo y didáctico.
