Mosaic is a type of art that uses small pieces to create a larger picture. Traditionally crafted with terracotta tiles, pieces of glass, ceramic tiles, or marble tiles, the mosaic pattern is often inlaid into flooring, walls, frames, and more. Mosaic patterns are typically set and steadied using mortar or plaster, but they can be held in place with other materials, as well. Small pieces that look broken on their own come together to magically create gorgeous works of art and breathe new life into everyday items.
