"Mosaic Art and Style" is a celebration of how mosaics can be integrated into our environments. Author JoAnn Locktov explores our fascination with mosaic art and illustrates how artists have crafted architectural installations as well as decorative and functional objects that have added immeasurably to living spaces. Readers will enjoy seeing how mosaic art can be applied to every surface imaginable. "Mosaic Art and Style" tells the story of how the projects were conceived and fabricated from the artists' points of view. Locktov has forged special relationships with a multitude of artists, who have allowed her to feature their work in "Mosaic Art and Style". Through these relationships, she takes the reader into the world of the artist and gives readers a behind-the-scenes pass into the artists' workshops, where she shares their personal thoughts about the creation and inspiration that imbues their work.

I purchased this book, hoping that there would be some designs with instructions to do myself, but actually it is just a book with photos of mosaic art around the world. Overall i'm happy with the purchase, it gives me some ideas.

My book arrived yesterday, and what a book! If ever you lack imagination or inspiration then this book is for you. Forget any pre-conceived ideas, cos they will be knocked out when you delve into this book. Mosaic artists throughout the world have allowed their work to be illustrated, and what an amazing collection it is.
There are mosaics and then there are mosaics! These mosaics will knock your socks off!
Beautiful; stunning; some wonderfully amusing; most are just simply amazing!
A wonderful book to have on your coffee table, and only £6.79 at Amazon.
The photography and quality of the book is worth far more than that, let alone the content.
Don't hesitate, it is a lovely book which will delight you and inspire.
