Create Your Mosaic Magnet - Tour + Workshop
From EUR 20
Just steps away from the main UNESCO World Heritage monuments, in the heart of the historic center, Dimensione Mosaico is an artisan workshop where Elisa and Evelina have been creating mosaics for years, following tradition. In this workshop, the artisans reproduce mosaics using ancient techniques and create new mosaics with their own unique style, blending mosaic with other artistic techniques.
The workshop offers an introduction to the art of mosaics, where after a brief introduction to mosaic art, you’ll witness a demonstration of material cutting and base preparation, guided by a professional instructor.
The mosaic you’ll create will be a reproduction of a Roman or Byzantine motif, using authentic and precious materials such as marble from across Europe and glass paste produced in Venetian furnaces.
Together, we will make a personalized souvenir magnet using traditional materials from Byzantine mosaics.

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.
