Beautiful colours, amazing reflective texture.
Smalti is the traditional handmade glass used in the mosaics of medieval and Renaissance Europe.  It is made by mixing glass and metal oxides according to traditional recipes and melting the mixture in a furnace. The molten glass is then poured onto a slab for cooling, and then cut by hand into rectangular pieces. The small hand-made batches result in natural variations in shape and color, which allow the artist to create beautiful life-like images.  Purchase one piece, a handful or whatever you need to create your next mosaic masterpiece! 

Learn to use smalti at OzMosaics.  Attend a mosaic smalti workshop at the mosaic studio.  Smalti workshops coming soon.  Register at our site to receive the newsletter update when the workshops are listed. Whether you are a hobbyist, professional mosaicist, architect, designer or mosaic instructor,
