Custom Mosaic Fabrication

We work in a variety of methods of mosaic fabrication, we work with the old world style using smalti glass or smalto glass to create the design in a gamma of colors to match the design or concept. We work with smalto glass that can be cut or used to create a pixel like design that allows for very interesting and precision-cut designs. We also work with Marble and river rock which can be very laborious and has a smaller palette of colors.
