Karen's comment : I don't know if Tiziana understood me when I tried to tell her (and Corrina) that I only have the opportunity to work with my hands (usually on mosaics or stained glass) for a few weeks every year. It is rare that I am able to spend an entire week non-stop full-time on one piece and it was such a pleasure to do this with Tiziana and Corinna. They were very patient with me; I learned a lot about mosaics and the properties of marble. I also really appreciated their feedback on my work, both negative and positive. I will never forget the moments when Corinna would look at my project for only a second or two and then say "Questa e brutta!" while she removed some of the tesserae from the board and magically rearranged them so they looked perfect, in a matter of moments! It was equally rewarding to hear their praise. Both of these women are passionate about mosaics and dedicated to success, which they will acheive easily. To compare this course to Ravenna's courses is like comparing apples to oranges. I'm trying to say that the Ravenna course is formal and regimented, and the Mondini course is more customized, since it is one-on-one. I plan on returning to Narni as often as possible to spend time in Tiziana's studio, wish I could be there now! Thanks for a wonderful experience! Il vostro nuova amica, Karen

Mosiac course with diploma of “Mosaicista progettista”
Duration of 120 hours June 2002
Names Veronica and Silvia
Nationality Italy and Switzerland

Silvia: During the course of study at CPFP Ravenna to obtain the qualification of “mosaicista progettista” I did training at “frammenti art” with  Mondini Tiziana. The course was comprised of 120 hours of laboratory applying what was being studied. We had the opportunity to create a work of art from the very beginning to its completion. The work undertaken was a fountain inspired by roman style and by a floor mosaic with industrial chips to decorate a village square at Rorriana (FC). I had the opportunity to compare mosaics having different techniques of application and different materials. It is much more difficult and tiring to work rapidly with the industrial mosaic contrary to the situation with traditional mosaics, and it is not possible to individualize one’s creation, but rather the objective is that of filling a space with In doing the roman copy, instead, with the support and patience of Tiziana, I was able to complete a very difficult project. Without advice on how to proceed, on the choice of marble etc...it would have been impossible to have a successful outcome. All this has given me a fundamental and basic experience in order to pursue this activity. The information obtained on mixtures, cements, marble and enamels continues to be of fundamental importance. On this occasion I would like to again express my thanks for this experience without which it would not have been possible for me to continue in the art of mosaics. I appreciate having learned so much and having experienced the joy of doing mosaics.
