An immersive experience of pebble mosaic making

This workshop develops over four days. The first two days are dedicated to visiting the most important pebble mosaics of Tigullio, Genoa. Participants have the opportunity to access one of Gabriele Gelatti’s construction sites, as well as other exclusive places normally closed to the public, such as the Cervara Abbey, the villa of the Sovereign of the Military Order of Malta or the Convent of Santa Chiara. A visit to the beach allows participants to understand stone in its natural environment. The other two days are dedicated to the creation of a small individual mosaic in Gabriele’s workshop, with an introduction to the processing of lime mortars, drawing techniques, and the execution of a 'texture' with pebbles. Materials are included in the price and participants can keep their pebble mosaic.
