This a great beginner book for someone starting out with mosaics. Very detailed with what tools, products, patterns, etc. are good for the beginner. Would recommend highly!

Many mosaics books skimp on the part about using tools for cutting stone, glass, etc. This one goes more in depth, with good pictures. Good for beginners and intermediates.

A mosaic is a work of art created from ceramic tiles, colored glass, found objects, or any combination of these. The art of the mosaic is one that stretches back into antiquity. Now mosaic specialist Martin Webb has created a complete introduction and 140-page illustrated instructional guide that will enable the most novice of beginners to create remarkable mosaics. Beginning with the equipment and materials necessary to a mosaic, "Basic Mosaics: All the Skills and Tools You Need to Get Started" showcases twenty different projects, each immanently 'user friendly' with step-by-step instructions fully illustrated with color photography by Alan Wycheck. Spiral bound so that "Basic Mosaics" will lay flat upon a table top or counter, this 'how to' manual is very highly recommended for art school, community, and personal library collections.

Not sure what I was expecting, but the projects were a little too simple and not that great. I wished they would have had some more exciting projects that I would want to display. The tips were fine, but not the projects
