Summary:

"This book is an authoritative and practical presentation of both the historical and the technical aspects of mosaics. It is the first publication which takes a comprehensive view and points up the potential of this art in several areas of human endeavor The first part of the book is devoted to a brief summary of the development of the art of mosaics during past civilizations. However, the primary emphasis is on the development of modern mosaics and on the work of today's mosaicist. Numerous illustrations, many in full color, provide examples of works by both professional mosaicists and by students. These examples challenge the reader to explore the creative potential of mosaics as a medium for self-expression. They inspire the reader to experience the pleasure of manipulating materials to create mosaic designs. This book will serve well as a source for those who are interested in understanding, enjoying, and appreciating mosaics. Those who like to work at home will find it immensely useful for guidance and information in beginning the exploration of mosaics for personal and professional purpose." -- Dust Jacket.
