Description of this activity

Discover the art of mosaic in the peaceful setting of Somone, a village known for its lagoon, mangroves, and authentic artisanal atmosphere. This workshop, open to all, invites you to transform colorful fragments—glass, faience, ceramic, or natural materials—into a small, personalized decorative piece. A creative, relaxing, and immersive experience exploring a popular artistic craft in Senegal.

The workshop begins with an introduction to materials and tools:
• Colored glass tesserae, broken tiles, ceramic fragments,
• Shells and natural elements from the coast,
• Supports in wood, frames, or tiles,
• Cutting pliers, adhesives, and grout suitable for beginners.

Next, you watch a demonstration of the essential techniques:
• Creating or choosing a simple design (abstract shapes, waves, symbols, stylized animals),
• Arranging the tesserae harmoniously,
• Cutting and adjusting the fragments,
• Gradually gluing the design,
• Applying grout and finishing touches.

Then comes the personal creation: Each participant creates a mosaic inspired by their own vision: shades of blue reflecting the lagoon, natural gradients, geometric patterns, or stylized designs from Senegalese art. The calm surroundings of Somone provide a focused and pleasant creative environment.

At the end of the session, you take home your unique mosaic, an authentic handmade keepsake.
