My name is Miriam Bastisch, and mosaic is my passion.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What led me to mosaic? On one hand, the timeless beauty of the ancient mosaics of Pompeii, which I first encountered at the museum in Naples. I spent a year living there \u2014 discovering not only the art, but also a part of my own roots. On the other hand, it was a longing for something tangible, something real and textured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After studying media and cultural sciences and starting my professional career, I found myself missing the feeling of creating with my hands. I had long been drawn to the renowned three-year training program at the Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli in Spilimbergo. And in 2013, I finally followed that call and returned to Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, I have been creating mosaics \u2014 for people and with people \u2014 and I\u2019m grateful every day for having taken this path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mosaic is wonderfully diverse. Marble, pebbles, hand-crafted glass, ceramics, found objects, and even seemingly worthless materials like cherry pits or pistachio shells can become part of a work. Smooth and glossy, matte and rough \u2014 I\u2019m endlessly fascinated by the interplay of light and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my workshops, I bring all my experience as a mosaicista<\/em> to the table, guiding participants in creating something truly unique. I draw from the rules of ancient craftsmanship \u2014 and sometimes deliberately break them \u2014 blending traditional and contemporary techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No prior experience is needed. Even in a short time, you can create something beautiful with your own hands. Of course, I\u2019m happy to tailor each piece to your wishes \u2014 whether it\u2019s about the motif, the materials, or the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
