EXPERIENCE

Ingeniously breaching the gap between art and science, Nick & Alan’s “exact mosaics” are the most detailed stone mosaics ever created. They invented the revolutionary pattern recognition technology that determines placement of millions of individual stones.

 

They have experience in all phases of mosaic fabrication including design, layout, setting, grouting and finishing. Nick and Alan also possess strong skills in creative project development, promotion, consultation, marketing, and group facilitation.
