Joanna Kessel MA RCA of Edinburgh Mosaic Studio and Dr Claudia Bolgia, Lecturer in History of Art at the University of Edinburgh
Joanna Kessel MA RCA will present an illustrated talk celebrating contemporary mosaic inspired by Ravenna Mosaico – the international mosaic biennale held in Ravenna. She will be joined by Dr Claudia Bolgia who will set an historic context with a talk about Light, colour and “eternity”: the success of mosaic in Rome and Ravenna.
Joanna exhibited her work ‘Dialogue’ at Ravenna Mosaico in 2013. Ravenna – a Unesco World Heritage Site known for its magnificent Byzantine mosaics – embraces the international contemporary mosaic biennale, interspersing exhibitions throughout the city and attracting a worldwide audience.
The evening will include a demonstration of the traditional Italian mosaic-making tools of a hammer and hardy, used to cut marble and smalti, along with a display of materials and work, and information on the Edinburgh Mosaic Studio new Course Programme for 2014.
