• MICROMOSAICS ARE A TYPE OF MOSAIC CREATED FROM TINY FRAGMENTS OF GLASS, CALLED TESSERAE. THE TESSERAE ARE MOSAIC PIECES MADE FROM AN OPAQUE VITREOUS GLASS OR ENAMEL IN A MULTITUDE OF COLORS CALLED SMALTO. THE SMALTO IS PULLED INTO RODS OR THREADS, CALLED FILATI (SPUN ENAMEL), AND THEN LEFT TO COOL. AFTER COOLING, IT IS CUT INTO HUNDREDS OF MINUTE CUBES OR TESSERAE AND ARRANGED ON A COPPER OR GOLD TRAY TO CREATE A SCENE, PORTRAIT, OR LANDSCAPE.
