About the Book

In this volume, Maggy Howarth shares her practical experience, artistic enthusiasm and the fruits of her travels and research, which have uncovered much new information on this little-known art. Both beautiful and durable, pebble mosaics are a wonderful addition to gardens, patios and public spaces. This is a complete sourcebook for enthusiasts and landscape designers - an accessible and illustrated guide for creating basic to advanced projects from start to finish. This handbook features: materials, tools and techniques, both traditional and modern; how to choose pebbles and stones for shape and strength; step-by-step instructions for making mosaics; advice on designing successful mosaics from simple sketches to scaling up and a survey of traditional styles throughout the world and a gallery of work by contemporary pebble mosaic artists.

Review :
Pebble mosaic is slowly gaining in popularity with books and workshops springing up across the country. Whether it is the tactile quality of pebbles or the finished work of art, its organic quality appeals to today's more natural tastes. Go to a beach and you will find a diverse range of pebbles depending on the area of the country you are in: elliptical, strip-like, round; striped, muted, vibrant and more. A discerning eye can soon disseminate between them, breaking them down further to differing sizes and thus begins the art of pebble mosaic, with a sharp eye catching a first glimpse of a possible "star" for their design. Maggy Howarth, a well-known and respected pebble mosaicist, has travelled the world researching her art and here successfully collates all her information into an inspiring, informative collection of designs. Lavishly illustrated she covers ancient Italian wall mosaics, the stunning modern geometrics of the Praca do Municipio in Lisbon, Portugal to flowers, animals, birds and fish in all manner of designs, all intermingling to offer ideas for every taste and situation. This is a must for all enthusiasts of the medium, offering both practical and design advice on the subject. - Lucy Watson
