I was very lucky I picked this one to buy. It has a great section on the history of mosaics and many wonderful pictures. Then it shows in detail what tools you need and how to use them for mosaic projects. It describes the glues and the kinds of material you may be using: tessere, smalti, broken china etc. And then there are projects you can do to gain skill. I was looking for a book that had a more in-depth approach and this is it. I would recommend it to anyone interested in mosaics. Even if you don't do any projects, it expands your knowledge of the artform. I come from an art background and was interested in using mosaics for practical purposes like the garden. I also wanted to use the broken beads left over from making lampwork beads and this technique seems to be ideal for that. Review: Excellent Resource - Grab this book while you can! I have lots of books on mosaics and this is probably the best. It has accurate information on technique and history and some excellent photos of mosaics to get your creative juices flowing. I was delighted to see that it had a picture of one of my all time favorite ancient mosaics (called "Food"). This book could be used by a beginner but it is obviously written by an artist. This is a high class book. If you are looking for inspiration, this is a good one. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,078,336 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #232 in Mosaic Crafting #4,484 in Art History & Criticism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (195) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.5 x 11 inches | | Edition | New edition | | ISBN-10 | 1402740611 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1402740619 | | Item Weight | 2.35 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | August 28, 2006 | | Publisher | Sterling | ## Images ![Mosaic Techniques & Traditions: Projects & Designs from Around the World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/918zFMLAsgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Has everything I was looking for! *by S***T on June 3, 2009* I looked at many descriptions of mosaic books and took some out of the library to try.

I have lots of books on mosaics and this is probably the best. It has accurate information on technique and history and some excellent photos of mosaics to get your creative juices flowing. I was delighted to see that it had a picture of one of my all time favorite ancient mosaics (called "Food"). This book could be used by a beginner but it is obviously written by an artist.

If you are looking for inspiration, this is a good one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating variety of mosaic styles *by M***E on January 21, 2007* This book was written by a mosaic artist and teacher who's travelled extensively and kept her eyes open (and her camera ready)while sightseeing. The breadth of her scope is very satisfying (ranging from the ancient Greek and Roman to the very, very modern, with every significant school represented). She absolutely knows the medium, and gives sound and practiced techniques for creating various types of mosaics. She also includes photographs of all kinds of different work, so the reader can be inspired by a style that speaks to him or her. My only reservation about this book comes from the fact that my taste and hers differ, so there are other books available which (in my opinion)offer a more pleasing selection of mosaics to be inspired by. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/2255369-mosaic-techniques-and-traditions-projects-and-designs-from-around-world](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/2255369-mosaic-techniques-and-traditions-projects-and-designs-from-around-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
