Tòong Teng Studio: Unleash your creativity and create mosaic art.

Mosaic, also known as mosaic art, is a decorative art form that creates a picture from a collection of small pieces. In other words, mosaic uses small pieces of material placed together to create a unified whole. These small pieces, called "mosaic materials," are usually made of solid, flat materials, mostly in square shapes, such as colored glass, stone, tiles, mirrors, and other types of glass. The physical quality of the materials and the assembly technique are what give mosaic its special value and artistic quality.
