We ordered the DYNASTY smalti in lovely chunky blocks, all wonderfully irregular but with a coarser backside to grip better but the smalti can be nibbled with your tile nippers, Leponitts or tile scorer….(hammer for awesome shapes). Now you can cut flowers in a bigger format than the smaller traditional brick. A simple nip to cut it down or perhaps shape a flower. Mix it up…mosaics are about emotion, not cutting technique. Once you have mastered the nipping and shaping, the hardest thing is resisting all the beautiful colours.

Dynasty Mosaic Smalti - gorgeous glass!
Sandy does Smalti! Combining Orsoni Smalti and the Chinese Dynasty Smalti - OzMosaics brings beautiful options for mosaic artists to the mosaic workbench.
A luscious range of glass mosaic tile makes your mouth water. Will you have a serve of Italian glass pizza or Dynasty stir fry to add to your mosaic base?
Whether you mix your thinset with chopsticks or Italian remo it all enhances your mosaic murals.
DownUnder we can have a love affair with Italy and China and add our own special ingredients, the freedom to dare to be different.
Mix it up and add our smalti to your workshop stash!
Sandy is busy photographing the new smalti for the online store; it's been selling off the workshop floor!
Lovely photos coming, video clips and it's guaranteed to please. Register at our home page, to receive updates!
