may i share with you my experience in Giulio Menossi's 2009 workshop? what can i say? you simply must meet this sweet, gentle man and experience him for yourself! his skill and talent are awe-inspiring... but his warmth and humility will make you feel like he is someone you have known for some time.

"it is my job" he says in response to all the oohs and ahhs he receives. for 35+ years, giulio menossi has worked in solitude, on commissions and, when there was time, on his own original creations. he has worked away day after day, heeding the advice of his maestro, to at least cut one tessera each day. he is a mosaicist. and he is a master mosaicist.

i'll stop now, because i really could go on and on and on and... well, you get the picture. if you want to find out more about my experience in giulio menossi's 2009 workshop, let me share with you My Visit to Udine for the first course of Mosaico - Scuola Menossi!.
