Mosaic-making

The “Mosaic creation” educational program included 4 courses, of 108 hours total duration, with the participation of 35 children from Milos, aged from 9 to 15. The person in charge of the educational activity was Mr. Antonis Lionis, graduate of the School of Fine Arts, professional maker and conservator of mosaics.

The educational program included the following units:

• Introduction to the creation of a mosaic – getting familiar with the natural tesserae (pebble, stones).
• Mosaics techniques – making mosaics on frames.
• Brief reference to the Milos mosaics.

When the courses were completed, the children’s works were displayed for a period in one of the museum’s exhibition areas.
