Rokate’s Mosaic Workshop Notebook
A Spanish-language guide to mosaic-making, from choosing tesserae and cutting glass to transferring drawings, laying mortar, grouting, cleaning, and conservation.
Field notes
The guide organizes mosaic work as a sequence of material and placement decisions, beginning with smalti, vitreous paste, marble or stone, and ceramic, then moving through cutting, cartoon transfer, laying methods, joints, mortars, and conservation. It gives concrete tessera ranges—4–8 mm for fine detail, 10–15 mm for the body of a drawing, and 15–25 mm for backgrounds—and relates material choice to light, traffic, moisture, and frost.
