Roman mosaics - how to make them,
draw them, understand them.
Train your eye to see the flow, not draw a plan to follow.
Saturday 12 September | 10am UK time | 90 minutes | Live on Google Meet | $37 / £27
Drawing andamento isn't about producing a perfect plan that you later copy into mosaic.
The drawing is the practice.
In this 90-minute live workshop, we'll draw together while I show you how I look at the flow of tesserae, the decisions I'm making and what I'm looking for as the lines respond to different shapes and spaces.
You'll be able to draw along and ask questions as we work.
Just paper and a pencil or fine pen.
You'll also receive access to my Drawing Roman Mosaics Workbook. If you can have it available during the session, great, but you'll still be able to follow along without it.
No mosaic materials are needed.
Not to leave with a drawing to copy.
To start developing the ability to see the andamento for yourself.
Saturday 12 September, 10am UK time — $37

Learn Roman Mosaics series manual
I so enjoyed working on the one I had tiles for. The instruction book in itself was worth the money I spent. I spent 200AU on a mosaic class and didn’t learn most of what was in that book.

Lawrence Payne, I just read your e-book about Roman Mosaics--I learned so much! I love the clarity of the explanations, drawings and images--it is a treasure! I'm so glad I signed up for your newsletter!

Who is Lawrence Payne?
Ever since I started this journey in 2002 I have been constantly looking for evidence of how those ancient mosaicists worked. I've gone over the mosaics and in making copies I feel I have a greater understanding of those craftsmen. Now I want to give you the chance to do this work for yourself.
Making small mosaics is no different from working on a full floor, you use the same method, the same outlook.
