Summary: What a fun experience! Giuseppe was a friendly, patient, and knowledgeable instructor. The design I chose turned out great but it was a little challenging. Giuseppe was so kind to help and let me stay a little extra to finish. He is very talented and has been making mosaics for years. His art studio is the perfect place for inspiration and learning. Don't pass up the opportunity to learn mosaic making from a master! You will love it.
