2008 Mosaic Today

Mosaic is an art medium of timeless and diverse beauty. Elaine’s new book further unravels the art and mystique of mosaic making, revealing secret insights and sharing something of her personal philosophy on the art of mosaic as she adds her own 21st century style to a series of 16 stunning and inspirational designs. The reader is guided through a series of detailed photographs to ensure that the absolute novice and the professional can produce breathtaking results for themselves. Also included is a selection of works – many created specifically for this book – by 20 of the world’s leading mosaic artists. Their work is interspersed throughout the book and shows the versatility, cutting edge and excitement within the medium today.

New 2007 - The Human Form in Mosaic, by Elaine M. Goodwin (Author)

The Human Form in Mosaic

"The Human Form in Mosaic" is an original and revelatory exploration in the hands of an accomplished artist and author, using the human form as a means to introduce the reader to the technique of mosaic-making. The author guides the reader through the step-by-step process of individually cutting and placing 'tesserae' - the small pieces of marble, gold, glass and ceramic that go to make up mosaics - to articulate the human form, both the body and the face.
