SEEING before MAKING

A reflective guide for mosaic artists.
 
Before the first tessera is placed, something quieter has already begun: seeing.
​

Seeing Before Making grew out of years of making mosaics, teaching, and noticing that the most important decisions often happen long before the first piece is set.

 

This illustrated guide is an invitation to slow down, observe more carefully, and discover how seeing shapes the work we create.

What's inside?

  • 18 beautifully designed pages

  • Full-color illustrations

  • Reflections on light, materials, movement, rhythm, edges, adjacency, and interstices

  • Instant PDF download

​​

Who it's for

  • Whether you're just beginning or have been making mosaics for years, this guide is for artists who want to deepen not only their technique, but their way of seeing.
