Personal development and the art and craft of mosaic making

Mosaic lends itself to the practice of art therapy - "to break up and reunite"

The word "art" signifies that the work is orientated not towards the technique alone but towards the idea of creation.

The course is orientated around the idea of therapy (or art therapy). The objective is not the production of an object but to look at the "other" and at oneself.

In this concept, the mosaicist-art-therapist is the outsider who helps the individual to concretise those things which lack structure. She takes in what the individual expresses, listening to that which has never before been heard. She gives life to the individual’s experiences, replacing them in the real world. She is the outsider who facilitates the transition from fantasy to reality.
