Mosaic Process

Hozhographos Studio > Mosaic Process

The process we use to build mosiac glass tile murals roughly consists of three stages:

First, the mural is designed and the images are processed using software to convert the pixels of a digital image into the color palette of our glass tiles.

Next, we take these images and run them through our TilePile software that lets us see quickly and easily where to put glass tiles on a one-foot square grid rack. For each square foot of the mural we fill one of these squares with 225 tiles, so we rely on volunteer help for this phase.

Finally, we arrange these squares of 225 tiles in the correct order so that together they make the mural. Once they are arranged correctly they are ready to be installed on the mural surface with plaster and later cleaned.
