The Modern History of Mosaic takes the form of nine half an hour lectures. In each lecture, Tessa focuses on the mosaics of a geographical area at a certain time. Over the course, we cover the history of mosaic across the Americas, Europe and the Soviet Union between the 1890s and the 1990s.

The course is delivered in a lecture style, we have not included tests as this is a research based course. The course gives a great overview of the modern history of mosaics, and if you are specifically interested in one aspect of the course it is a perfect launching point for further research. Having a mosaic practise is not necessary to get something out of the course, any arts and crafts lover will be amazed at the stories and depth of research that Tessa has been able to put together. It is a lecture series that simultaneously caters for the serious mosaicist, and also would provide an interesting discussion point for any arts and crafts club.

This is a consolidation of research that is hard to access and harder to synthesize, and we think it will be an incredible resource for mosaic makers. the course was developed and is delivered by Tessa Hunkin, an expert mosaicist based in the UK.
