Marcia Selsor Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Stephani shared this with me today on Facebook. This is an amazing process and still used in many Islamic countries today. There is a factory in Granada, Spain as well. I saw a lot of ancient buildings and mausoleums in Uzbekistan with these mosaics. Really a labor intensive process.

Benzine Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Excellent video, thanks Marcia. That man chiseling the geometric tiles, was insane. We've talked about "Craft" before on these boards. Those workers are craftsmen. Very skilled at what they do. There are indeed a lot of great mosaics in that region, as well as other Muslim regions. When you are not allowed to depict certain things in your art, you get really good at geometric designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denice Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Great video, I am always complimented on how hard I work, these craftsman just made me feel like a lazy bum. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
