¿Cuál es la diferencia entre los métodos directo e indirecto para realizar un mosaico?

La realización de un mosaico puede hacerse mediante dos técnicas principales: el método directo y el método indirecto. Ambos se utilizan para mosaicos de mármol, vidrio o cerámica, pero se diferencian en cómo se colocan las teselas y en el resultado final.

Método directo

En el método directo, las teselas se aplican una por una directamente sobre la superficie final, como una pared, suelo o panel. Es la técnica ideal para mosaicos artísticos, decorativos o tridimensionales, donde se puede controlar cada detalle durante la realización. Este método permite ver inmediatamente el diseño y los colores, es adecuado para superficies irregulares o curvas y ofrece un contacto directo con el material, típico de los mosaicos artesanales en mármol. La desventaja principal es que el adhesivo puede cubrir el dibujo subyacente.

Método indirecto

En el método indirecto, las teselas se colocan al revés sobre un soporte temporal, como papel o malla. Una vez terminado el diseño, el mosaico completo se transfiere y se fija en su posición final. Esta técnica se usa mucho para superficies grandes o producción en taller. Permite trabajar sobre superficies planas en un entorno controlado, es ideal para mosaicos grandes o complejos que luego se instalan en el lugar y facilita las correcciones y el transporte. La desventaja es que el resultado final solo se ve después de la instalación y no es posible realizar mosaicos escultóricos, solo planos.

Consejo del experto

Ambas técnicas son válidas, sencillas y adecuadas para principiantes o expertos. El método indirecto o al revés incluye un paso adicional, pero no es difícil de realizar.

In general , all our courses are individual courses, where those who enroll freely choose when to start the course (after consulting our availability) and how to divide (especially for courses that last several months) the various modules over time.

Occasionally our school organizes group courses (e.g. Ciottoli course) and group Workshops. For information on upcoming group courses click here.

The school is located in Via della Stazione 32, Narni Scalo (TR) ; Italy, in the green Umbria region, less than an hour by train from Rome.

The school is right in front of the Narni-Amelia train station (1 min walk) so it is very easy to reach it both by bus and by train from the main Italian airports.

For those arriving by car: the school is located 15 minutes from the A1 Orte motorway exit.

The school does not provide accommodation for its students but we have a list of local facilities that we have agreements with.

We do not directly manage this part. Each person will have to contact the aforementioned structures independently and agree on the stay on the days of interest.

During the in-person course there will be a 1-hour lunch break. You can eat your packed lunch inside the school or, if you prefer, you can eat in one of the many places nearby (bars, pizzerias, ice cream shops, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.).

The course includes all the necessary materials, such as mosaic tiles, glue, cutting tools and support bases. If you wish to use specific materials, or experiment, feel free to bring them.

The courses are held in our school in Narni, in via della Stazione 32 (TR). Some special workshops may include particular locations or guided tours in other locations that will be indicated from time to time in the various product/course sheets.

You do not need to bring anything, as tools and materials are included in the cost of the course. However, if you prefer to use your own tools or materials, you can bring them. It is recommended to label them with an acronym to avoid confusion with those already present in the laboratory.

At the end of the course, a certificate of participation will be issued, which attests to the skills acquired during the workshop. Please note that this is not an official certification, but a private certificate issued by the school.

You can register for our individual courses directly on our website.
