This mosaic making class was a wonderful experience to broaden our trip to Rome. The mosaic making class went beyond just consuming Rome, and allowed to create while in Rome. Our experience included my two daughters (7 & 9), my wife, and my mother (mid-70s). This was a perfect multi-generational activity that fused creativity, culture, and craft.
Our hosts were extremely lovely, helping along the way, although don’t expect them to hold your hand. They were kind enough to allow me to help my 7 y/o splitting the Little Rock pieces with the hammer. This moved things along more quickly. Even so, this took us the full 2.5 hours, but we never felt rushed at all.
They made each step feel special, especially the “reveal” and packaging up the piece to allow it to set, which takes days. We were leaving the next day, so they safely packaged it accordingly and gave instructions.
This will be a highlight of Rome for our family. No experience needed.
