here are some pics from the chicago mosaic school's july workshop, led by italian mosaicist and teacher carolina zanelli. this was a very good workshop, and i found carolina extremely competent, talented, and altogether lovely!!!

- the first pic is a very quickly put-together collage of the workshop and my fellow participants.
- next, you can check out the examples of the byzantine method exercise.
- the last pic shows some examples of our attempts with the modern technique, as taught at the spillimbergo school.

thanks to ruth ann petree for sharing her pics with me... a few of them made a contribution to the collage!

i am out of time for now, but will try to elaborate on each technique, and on the workshop in general, in the next few days.
