THE Chandos Society of Artists will be giving an illustrated talk on the art of the mosaicist from Ancient Greece to modern day installations.
The presentation is supported by many photographs and video tracing the development of the oldest of art forms from the pebble floors of Ancient Greece to modern day installations. The tools and materials that have hardly changed in 2000 years will be at the Art Centre for attendees who want to try cutting the tesserae.
Ken Church, Chandos chairman who will deliver the talk, said: “I discovered the art form about ten years ago when in Spain."
“Some extraordinarily fine work has been produced through the ages that is as good as any art ever produced”.
Ken went to Ravenna in Italy to study with the Maestra Luciana Notturni, to Venice and Cyprus and also the USA where the art of the modern mosaicist flourishes.
With over 100 slides and some videos, artists, historians and artisans will all find something of interest in this presentation.
Refreshments available.
Bridgwater Arts Centre, Friday, April 8 at 2pm. £5 for Chandos members, £7.50 for non-members.
