Are coincidences random, chance intersections between lives or are they predictable connections that occur because of larger interconnecting life paths? This series of contemporary ungrouted mosaics by Heather Hancock , looks at coincidence as a point in time when the predictable overlap between lives is noticed. Tesserae are 24k gold smalti from Orsoni in Venice.

Mosaic Artist - Heather Hancock - HH Mosaics
“In my art, I reinterpret the ancient form of mosaics to produce works that capture the vibrancy and inter-connectedness of contemporary urban life. My current mosaic work uses a personal vocabulary of geometric and organic shapes enriched by the vibrant colors of Italian glass and details from ceramics and hardware. Color and rhythms play off each other to explore patterns and surprises in nature and life. I use grout not only to bind the fragile glass but also consciously as an element within the work in its own right, completing patterns in negative space.”

Neve Tzedek Mosaic, originally uploaded by mephistofales.
Neve Tzedek (Hebrew: נווה צדק) is a neighborhood in the City of Tel Aviv, Israel. It was the first Jewish neighborhood to be built outside the walls of the ancient port of Yafo. For years, the neighborhood prospered as Tel Aviv, the first modern Hebrew city, grew up around it. Years of neglect and disrepair followed, but today Neve Tzedek has become one of Tel Aviv’s latest fashionable districts.
At the beginning of the 1900s, many artists and writers made Neve Tzedek their residence. Most notably, Nobel prize laureate Shmuel Yosef Agnon, as well as Hebrew artist Nahum Gutman, used Neve Tzedek as both a home and a sanctuary for art.

Galla Placidia Mausoleum on Flickr - by James Macdonald
The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia is a highly important Byzantine mausoleum in Ravenna, Italy. It is one of the eight structures in Ravenna that were inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1996. As the UNESCO experts reasoned, “it is the earliest and best preserved of all mosaic monuments, and at the same time one of the most artistically perfect”.

Mausoleu de Gal·la Placídia, Ravenna on Flickr - by Sebastia Giralt
Built in 425-430 AD, the structure is designed in the shape of a Greek cross, and has a cupola that is entirely in mosaics, representing eight apostles and symbolical figures of doves drinking from a vessel. The other four apostles are represented on the vaults of the transverse arm; over the door is a representation of Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd, young, beardless, with flowing hair, and surrounded by sheep; opposite, there is a subject that is interpreted as representing Saint Lawrence. Thin, translucent panels of stone admit light into the structure through the windows.

galla placidia interior on Flickr - by designucdavis
The building contains three sarcophagi; the largest is said to have been that of Galla Placidia, and that her embalmed body was deposited there in a sitting position, clothed with the imperial mantle; in 1577, however, the contents of the sarcophagus were accidentally burned. The sarcophagus to the right is attributed to Emperor Valentinian III or to Galla Placidia’s brother, Emperor Honorius. The one on the left is attributed to Galla Placidia’s husband, Emperor Constantius III. In fact this building was the oratory of a wider church: the Holy Cross.

The inside is relatively small and extremely simple. The mausoleum was intended from the very start to be covered with mosaics, and these are the oldest in Ravenna. The eye is seduced by the brilliance of the colours, which mask the architecture and create an illusionistic effect.

The 24k gold metal leaf is then sandwiched between the support and a thin protective glass layer (the cartellina). In tesserae the colour shade is determined by the purity of the metal, the thickness of the leaf, the colour, if any, of the cartellina and of the support. m.a.s.mosaic glossary

Where is the Hearst Castle?
Hearst Castle was the palatial estate of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. It is located near San Simeon, California, on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Donated by the Hearst Corporation to the state of California in 1957, it is now a State Historical Monument and a National Historic Landmark, open for public tours. Hearst formally named the estate ‘La Cuesta Encantada’ (’The Enchanted Hill’), but he usually just called it ‘the ranch’.

Hearst Castle Roman Pool Mosaics on Flickr - by patacancha
The Casa Grande Roman Pool
The pool appears to be styled after an ancient Roman bath such as the Baths of Caracalla in Rome c. 211-17 AD. The mosaic tiled patterns were inspired by mosaics found in the 5th Century Mausoleum of Galla Placidia in Ravenna, Italy. They are also representative of traditional marine monster themes that can be found in ancient Roman baths.
The Roman Pool Hearst Castle on Flickr - by eye_fish
The Roman Pool is decorated from ceiling to floor with 1″ square mosaic tiles. These glass tiles, called smalti, are either colored (mainly blue or orange) or are clear with fused gold inside. The intense colors and shimmering gold of the tiles combine to create a breathtaking effect. The designs created by the tiles were developed by muralist Camille Solon.

Mosaic Design Inspiration
The inspiration for some of these designs came from the 5th Century Mausoleum of Galla Placidia. Hearst was affected by the beauty of the mosaics in the mausoleum and incorporated similar styles into his Roman Pool. The walls of the mausoleum are marble but the vaulted arches are composed of blue and gold smalti. The roofs and dome are covered with mosaics of night blue, powdered with stars. The Roman Pool is similar to the mausoleum with its blue and gold color scheme and stylized star patterns. It differs because marble was only used in the statues, not on the walls, and their are no religious murals.

La Mosaïque Sculpture (Fountain)
Date: 1981
Artiste: Michel Deverne
Art integrated into Architecture, is the creed of Michel Deverne, born in 1927.
He conceived for La Defense the “Reliefs of the room of exchanges of the RER” with the sculptural decoration of the ventilation chimneys, designed by Andre-Prothin. The mosaic which accompanies the buildings by the Mirrors (1981) is also a beautiful illustration of the mixture between art and town planning: a surface of 3000 m2, creating an aesthetic effect of four cylindrical volumes intended to mask the flues ventilating, the exits of elevators and carparks becoming a sculptural work of art.
Where is La Défense?
La Défense is a major business district for the city of Paris (French:”Ville de Paris”), bordering Neuilly-sur-Seine, west of the city proper. It is centred on an ovular loop of roadway straddling the Hauts-de-Seine département municipalities of Nanterre, Courbevoie and Puteaux. The district is at the westernmost extremity of Paris’ Historical Axis, which commences at the Louvre in the centre of Paris and crosses the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe.
Around its Grande Arche and esplanade (”le Parvis”) centre, this district holds many of the Paris urban area’s tallest high-rises: with its 3.5 million m² of office space, La Défense is the largest business district in Europe.

Who is Michel Deverne?
DEVERNE Michel
Born in 1927, Deverne is a contemporary sculptor whose many achievements in Paris,France reveal his drive to weave a close link between architecture and the visual arts. His sculptures of steel, brass, aluminium as well as enamelled metal & tile decorations illustrate the diversity of his approach, the breadth of his ideas and the meticulousness of his work.
La Pompeya del Este, Jerash, Jordan on Flickr - by kissss
Where is Jerash?
Located some 48 km (30 miles) north of the capital Amman, Jerash is known for the ruins of the Greco-Roman city of Gerasa, also referred to as Antioch on the Golden River. It is sometimes misleadingly referred to as the “Pompeii of the Middle East”, referring to its size, extent of excavation and level of preservation (though Jerash was never buried by a volcano).
Jerash became an urban center during the 3rd century BC and a member of the federation of Greek cities known as the Decapolis (”ten cities” in Greek). Jerash prospered during the 1st century BC as a result of its position on the incense and spice trade route from the Arabian Peninsula to Syria and the Mediterranean region. Jerash was a favorite city of the Roman emporer, Hadrian, and reached its zenith in AD 130, flourishing economically and socially. The city began to decline in the 3rd century, later becoming a Christian city under the rule of the Byzantine empire. The Muslims took over in AD 635, but the final blow to the city was dealt by Baldwin II of Jerusalem in AD 1112 during the Crusades.
Modern Jerash sprawls to the east of the ruins, sharing the same city wall but little else. Thankfully, the ruins have been carefully preserved and spared from encroachment.

Liz photographs the mosaics in Jerash on Flickr - by charlietyack
How old are the Mosaics of Jerash?
From AD 350, a large Christian community lived in Jerash, and between AD 400-600, more than thirteen churches were built, many with superb mosaic floors. A cathedral was built in the fourth century A.D. An ancient synagogue with detailed mosaics, including the story of Noah, was found beneath a church.

Micro-inlay mosaic, Coloseum, Rome, ca. 19th century, a type collected when the “Grand Tours” were popular. Comparables in the Savelli Family Collection, Rome.
This company specializes in the manufacture and sale of mosaics, an art form as old as the Roman Empire itself. Many of the objects in the company’s gallery were inspired by ancient originals discovered in thousands of excavations throughout the Italian peninsula, including those at Pompeii and Ostia. Others, especially the floral designs, rely on the whim and creativity of the artists. Objects include tabletops, boxes, and vases. The cheapest mosaic objects begin at around $130 and are unsigned products crafted by students at a school for artists that is partially funded by the Vatican. Objects made in the Savelli workshops that are signed by the individual artists tend to be larger and more elaborate. The outlet also contains a collection of small souvenirs, like key chains and carved statues.

Ellen Blakeley - Tempered Glass Mosaics
Instructor: Ellen Blakeley
Level: Beginner/ Intermediate
Cost: $260
Sessions: 2
Materials: $40 materials fee payable to Instructor the first day of class
Go to the current classes page for class dates and times
The unique properties of tempered glass make it an exciting addition to all mosaic projects. In this two-day workshop students will learn through demonstration and written materials how to work with tempered glass; discover how it differs from stained glass, fusing glass, marbles or mirror.
Tempered glass is the perfect medium for permanently incorporating printed imagery such as photos, drawings, labels and written words into mosaics. Small images work best.
Day one will introduce students to the techniques for using tempered glass in mosaics, designing and glazing their projects. Grouting, edging and sealing projects will be covered on day two.
Bring a lunch and any small paper images to include. Returning students may bring their own object (24 square inches or less) to mosaic.
Students will design and produce up to four coasters, a small mirror frame and an ornamental garden rock.
Please bring an apron or work shirt to class.
