Seeing Before Making is a reflective guide for mosaic artists.

Before the first tessera is placed, something quieter has already begun: seeing.

Seeing Before Making grew from years of creating mosaics, teaching, and noticing how the choices we make before placing a single piece shape the finished work.

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.
