Mosaic reproduction - Inlaid work and Mosaics

Selection of materials: Appropriate materials for the mosaic reproduction are chosen, such as glass tiles, enamels, ceramics, or pieces of stone. Colors and textures are carefully selected to recreate the appearance and style of the original mosaic.

Cutting the tesserae: The tesserae, which are small pieces of materials used for the mosaic, are cut into appropriate shapes and sizes according to the prepared drawing. This can be done manually or with specific tools.

Laying the tesserae: The tesserae are glued to a suitable surface, such as plywood or cement board, following the prepared drawing. Special attention is given to alignment, spacing, and secure fixation of the tesserae.

Grouting: Once all the tesserae are in place, grouting is done by filling the spaces between the tesserae with mortar or colored grout. This helps strengthen the mosaic and create a uniform finish.

Finishing and protection: Once the grouting is dry, the mosaic surface is cleaned, polished, and protected with an appropriate sealer to ensure durability and resistance to weather or wear.
