Excellent Resource -
Grab this book while you can! I have lots of books on mosaics and this is probably the best. It has accurate information on technique and history and some excellent photos of mosaics to get your creative juices flowing. I was delighted to see that it had a picture of one of my all time favorite ancient mosaics (called "Food"). This book could be used by a beginner but it is obviously written by an artist. This is a high class book. If you are looking for inspiration, this is a good one.

Sonia King's book called Mosaic -
If you want to learn about mosaics--the history, the art, and the practice, it is an excellent book. I have learned so much from reading it. What an artist!!!

Great History Book With Fantastic Pictures -
I really enjoyed looking at all the pictures in this book. Its a wealth of information on the history of mosaics too. As for actual ideas for projects to do that appealed to me... not so good. There was a time-out chair that was cute and some mirrored ornaments and maybe a water fountain... but that was it. I didn't really think there was that many project ideas at all. But she does give lots of info on the techniques and tools. It all depends what your looking for. If you want lots of ideas to make things yourself then this isn't the book in my opinion... unless you want to copy ideas from days gone by where mosaics were highly laborious and huge.

Has everything I was looking for! -
I looked at many descriptions of mosaic books and took some out of the library to try. I was very lucky I picked this one to buy. It has a great section on the history of mosaics and many wonderful pictures.

Then it shows in detail what tools you need and how to use them for mosaic projects. It describes the glues and the kinds of material you may be using: tessere, smalti, broken china etc. And then there are projects you can do to gain skill.

I was looking for a book that had a more in-depth approach and this is it. I would recommend it to anyone interested in mosaics. Even if you don't do any projects, it expands your knowledge of the artform.

I come from an art background and was interested in using mosaics for practical purposes like the garden. I also wanted to use the broken beads left over from making lampwork beads and this technique seems to be ideal for that.
