Discover the art of mosaic in a creative workshop in Saly, a seaside resort renowned for its colorful crafts, relaxed atmosphere, and lively markets. This workshop, suitable for all skill levels, introduces you to techniques for cutting, assembling, and finishing mosaics using fragments of glass, ceramic, faience, or natural materials. You create a personalized decorative piece while enjoying a friendly and inspiring environment.
The session begins with an introduction to materials and tools:
• colored glass tesserae, tile fragments, faience,
• shells and natural elements from local beaches,
• supports (wood, frame, or tiles),

Next, you watch a demonstration of essential techniques:
• drawing or choosing a design,
• arranging pieces to create the visual composition,
• cutting and adjusting fragments,
• gluing and placing the design,
• applying grout and finishing touches.
Then comes the personal creation: Guided by the artisan, you gradually assemble your mosaic. Designs can be inspired by the ocean, local wildlife, traditional symbols, or abstract shapes. The workshop takes place in a friendly, typical artisan setting of Saly.
At the end of the session, you leave with your unique mosaic, a colorful keepsake created with your own hands.
