Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Adult/High School–Biggs and Hunkin make constructing this art look simple with their clear, step-by-step text and illustrations. The section on techniques describes the basics of designing a mosaic, selecting colors and materials, cutting and fixing the tiles, and finishing the piece. Each of the projects is introduced in double-page format with a brief description and a list of tools and materials needed opposite a stunning photograph of the finished product. Most of the text is presented as captions under a series of photographs depicting the graduated process of making each mosaic. Templates are provided in the back of the book where one can also find a list of suppliers that may sell several of the designs as kits. Although the projects presented are not rated beginner, intermediate, or advanced, it's apparent that the authors intended them to be fun learning experiences. The level of difficulty is limited only by one's own imagination.–Claudia C. Holland, Chantilly Regional Library, Fairfax County, VA

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, April 12, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Book of Mosaics (Paperback)
This is a great little book for beginners with easy to understand basics of mosaics and tools. I refer to this more than any other mosaic book and I am gradually collecting many more books by these authors. Biggs and Hunkin give you the encouragement to try the new and different things. Easy to understand and a great reference.
