Mosaic Craft by Martin Cheek
Mosaics can transform the most primitive motifs into works of art. With 'Mosaic Craft', learn how a basic understanding of the techniques (and a little imagination) will help you create brilliant and beautiful projects for your home. This book begins with information on the tools you will need, and then covers all the basic techniques, with clear instructions and step-by-step photographs. The project section has 20 glorious designs that build in complexity as you progress in skill, from easy items that can be made in a few hours to more complex projects, taking a couple of days. Also included is a gallery of Martin's own work, which is designed to inspire. Discover the joys of creating tiled art with this complete guide to the art of mosaic crafting.
Martin Cheek graduated in graphic design in 1981, specializing in illustration and puppet design and going on to set up his own film production company. Over the years, he became increasingly interested in the decorative arts, especially mosaic. With his patient eye for detail and ability to create animated sequences, his mosaic work now benefits from this earlier experience - it is clear that character and movement play an important part in his work. He has taught part-time at the Royal College of Art and was for a time art critic of a national newspaper. Now an acclaimed professional mosaic artist, he is regularly commissioned by both private and corporate clients and has had many one-man exhibitions. He runs weekend courses in mosaic. His first book, Mosaics in a Weekend, is also published by New Holland.
