Giulia Manzoni

Giulia Manzoni is a Master Mosaicist who designs and makes bespoke mosaics for residential, artistic and architectural commissions in her central London studio.

Classically trained at the renowned Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli in Spilimbergo, Italy, Giulia has spent the last 12 years refining her craft working on projects between London and San Francisco.

Using centuries-old techniques, Giulia’s work reflects the rich tradition of this ancient art form. Her studio practice spans a breadth of applications, from traditional mosaics for domestic and commercial settings to contemporary works of art for private commissions.

Giulia specialises in recreating historically accurate mosaics for walls and flooring. Selecting the finest Italian marbles, her designs are sensitive to a building’s architectural heritage.

Giulia has established her eponymous mosaics studio at Cockpit Arts in Holborn where she also runs mosaic workshops for anyone wanting to learn the basic skills of making mosaics. 

Describe your approach to teaching
As a passionate mosaicist, I run my workshops by sharing deep, hands-on knowledge passed down to me, inspiring my students to master the art through dedication, technique and creative exploration.

What inspires your own work?
As a master mosaicist, I create mostly commissioned works, but my personal work is inspired by the natural beauty of materials, letting texture, color, and form guide each unique, handcrafted composition.
