Synopsis
In recent times, the interior and exterior use of mosaics has become increasingly popular worldwide. Myriad practical books about how to make mosaics as well as sourcebooks of design have been published in response to this trend. This title, the 7th by internationally acclaimed mosaic artist Martin Cheek, has been written in response to requests from both newly-taught and established mosaic artists. This is a visual inspiration sourcebook with invaluable expert advice about the creative process involved in making mosaics - from initial design work to the finished piece. Many of the works took many months to complete and have never been published before., In recent years, the ancient art of mosaic has become increasingly popular worldwide, showing up everywhere from the studios of fine artists to the pages of interior decorating magazines. Mosaics: Design and Inspiration is perfectly poised to capture that enthusiasm. The seventh book by internationally acclaimed mosaic artist and teacher Martin Cheek, it was written in direct response to inquiries and requests from both newly taught and long-established mosaic artists. It is simultaneously a how-to, full of expert advice about everything from initial design to the last details of a finished piece--and a sourcebook of inspiration, jammed with images, ideas, and concepts that aspiring mosaic artists can take and make their own. Many of the images of Cheek's own work represent the first time they've been featured in a book, and their intricate beauty is sure to fire the imaginations of artists, decorators, and art lovers., The first book to be published into the trade for over 6 years by the world-renowned mosaicist, Martin Cheek. Contains previously unseen images.
