Whenever I feel thwarted in life, I know I need to change something. Some time ago it happenend\u00a0to me\u00a0ever more often, during\u00a0my last year\u00a0before\u00a0becoming\u00a0Maestra Mosaicista<\/em>, and after\u00a0many days and nights at the end\u00a0I took\u00a0the decision\u00a0to stop the\u00a0training at\u00a0Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I know many of you won’t believe this.
\n‘How come?! You were already in third!’<\/h4>\n

Sure, the third and last year was supposed to be\u00a0the most creative\u00a0and I had been looking forward to it since the beginning in 2013<\/a>. Nevertheless: For me it was the right time to leave Spilimbergo. Of course, an exciting program with textures and the playful handling of new material was waiting for me. But as in all the years\u00a0many hours of\u00a0the curriculum\u00a0were wasted on things that weren’t really interesting for\u00a0me.<\/p>\n

I went to Italy because after a straight resume without any gaps, I wanted to finally do something for my own.\u00a0Learning mosaic from scratch was my first aim, not having the\u00a0diploma. I would not say that I have finished learning about making mosaic, because in life you never stop learning. But the rhythm of school and my thirst for action simply did not match enough.<\/p>\n

Still, for all the input and the valuable knowledge I have received from teachers and students during the last 26 months, I am very grateful. For learning about\u00a0andamenti,\u00a0<\/em>cement mixtures, for the wonderful stock of material, for any rosette I drew in geometrics<\/a>, every hour in the terrazzo room,\u00a0for each cherry\u00a0that I picked in school<\/a>, every history lesson and each and every exercise on color theory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nowhere in the world, a high-quality education in mosaics is offered\u00a0like in\u00a0the small village in Friuli. I have to admit though that sometimes (no, actually\u00a0very often) I wished that the school was in Milan or Rome. But then it\u00a0wouldn’t be as it is: an institution with a long tradition and important ties to the region.<\/p>\n

My training at the scuola<\/em> may have ended, but the contact\u00a0to the people I have met there I will keep with joy and I promise to\u00a0 pass on what I have learned as good as I can.
\nMaestri<\/em> and allievi<\/em>, I will\u00a0miss you a lot! But I’m sure we’ll meet\u00a0again soon. Maybe even at the next meeting of the\u00a0international mosaic organization AIMC in May\u00a0that will be\u00a0held in Spilimbergo.<\/p>\n

What\u00a0next?<\/h4>\n

Many things\u00a0have become clear to me in these two years. For example, that I want to be creative and loose myself in\u00a0mosaic making, but that I also want to work in the non\u00a0profit or educational sector.<\/p>\n

Of course, these changes mean that the reports about\u00a0my education in Spilimbergo have come to an end. But I will continue to make mosaic and go on\u00a0reporting about the subject in this blog. In somewhat modified form, but still in a mused way. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
