Artificial Stone Artworks

Glass mosaic art is the creation of patterns or pictures using small pieces of materials such as clay, colored glass, gems and semi-precious stones, tiny ceramic tiles, or stones. The pieces are often glued or cemented to a surface such as a wall or a floor.

It's called "Tesserae". Traditional mosaics are made of cut small cubes of roughly square pieces of stone or hand made glass enamel of different colours, known as tesserae. Some of the earliest mosaics were made of natural pebbles, originally used to reinforce floors.

Usually clay, colored glass, gems and semi-precious stones, tiny ceramic tiles. Glass tiles are made from thin pieces of glass with translucent glaze fired onto the back of each tile. They're sold either individually or in predesigned mosaic patterns set on a mesh backing. Traditional ceramic tiles are made from firing clay at a high temperature.

Simple wiping with a clean damp cloth with warm water is the best regular cleaning and for heavier soiling washing down should be carried out with warm water to which a soapless detergent has been added and finally rinsing with clean water and drying. In order not to damage the glass mosaic art work during cleaning, avoid harsh cleaning abrasive materials and effective chemicals, and do not press too hard.
