Step into the artistic heart of Rome and uncover the ancient techniques behind the time-honored crafts of fresco and mosaic-making. This immersive and interactive workshop offers a hands-on experience that not only educates but also inspires your creativity. You’ll get the opportunity to learn these traditional forms of art that have decorated the city for centuries—right from the experts who continue to practice them today.

In the heart of Rome, you’ll join a mosaic workshop hosted in an authentic artisan lab. This engaging session allows you to experiment with vibrant colors and small stone or glass tiles to form intricate designs, just like the Romans did in ancient times. Whether you’re a beginner or have artistic experience, you’ll be guided step by step to create your own personalized mosaic piece—a unique and lasting souvenir from the Eternal City.

Alternatively, dive into the world of fresco-making, a beloved Renaissance art technique where pigments are painted onto freshly applied plaster. This method was famously used by Renaissance masters to decorate church ceilings and grand villas. In a local artisan’s studio, you’ll explore how frescos are made, from preparing the surface to applying natural pigments, while learning about the artistic legacy of Rome and its influence on European art history.

Both activities are designed to encourage your imagination while offering insight into the methods and history of these classical art forms. At the end of the workshop, you’ll leave not only with new skills and knowledge but also with a handcrafted piece of Roman artistry that reflects your personal creative journey. This experience is perfect for travelers seeking a meaningful and artistic memory of their time in Italy.
