I’m Lawrence Payne, and for 20+ years I’ve worked to recreate Roman mosaics — not just copying them, but understanding them at the tesserae level. My aim is to uncover the untold stories of ancient artisans and share them openly, without gatekeeping.

Here you’ll find behind-the-scenes videos: museum demos, historical reenactments, mosaic-making techniques, deep dives into andamento and Roman society, plus guides for beginners, educators, crafters, archaeologists, and academics.

You’ll also find resources and kits based on real Roman designs. Everything here is about making Roman mosaics meaningful today.

👉 Join the Skool community for live sessions, resources, and discussion — plus a free beginner course to start your first mosaic: www.skool.com/making-roman-mosaics-5345/about (copy/paste)
