This volume combines the visual inspiration of a sourcebook with hard-working information about the creative process involved in making mosaics. Lavishly illustrated throughout with examples of his own work, the text explains the different elements to be considered when conceiving a new design as well as examining sources of inspirtion and the materials involved. Many large indoor and outdoor pieces - for walls and floors - as well as smaller objects including tables, wall plaques and 3D sculptures are included. And for those interested in producing large scale works a new technique for working indirect using wire mesh is explained, step-by-step.
