Click on photo to enlarge

Hi Henry,

A big thank you to everyone at Laticrete for sending the white Laticrete 255 Multimax to Greece for the workshop.  A whole group of mosaic artists from around the world are now singing the praises of Laticrete!  And special thanks to Marilyn who was tireless as the package worked it's way through Greek customs!

My workshop in England is in a couple of weeks and I've already had emails from the other instructor and a few students about looking forward to working with Laticrete product :-)

Below is the class pic from the Greece workshop, outside our lovely studio on Paros.  It's a truly international group.

From left to right: Chrissie Woods (UK), Kaye Robinson (New Zealand), Hanna Westin Skogh (Sweden), Emelie Solklippa (Sweden), Meralee Schlusselberg (US), Audrey Meyer (Israel), Jane Dale (New Zealand), Michelle Akers (US), Serra Akinci (Turkey), Nuran Abdullah (Turkey), Charlotte Franklin (UK) and sitting, Lois Weaver (US).

I'll try to get as good a pic as this from the England workshop!

Many thanks. Sonia

Incredible Mosaic Artists World Wide Depend On Laticrete (Wow !)

Hi Henry,
I just wanted to compliment Art Mintie once again, as well as Frank in the technical department.
I arrived on the job site at the Children's Hospital to start the install today and found a PRIMED WALL, instead of the bare sheetrock as I had specified in my contract and my walk-through.  Egad! 
And then I pulled my ace out of the hole and said 'Let's just call the technical department at Laticrete'.
Art was in a meeting and I spoke to Frank.  Art called me back as soon as he got out of his meeting and confirmed the solution I requested which was fresh bare drywall.  And now that's done and we go back tomorrow and do the install.  I don't have Frank's email but please pass my thanks on to him.
Laticrete to the rescue again!
I'll be posting pics on my Facebook mosaics page of the install and I'll mention Laticrete in the caption  :-)
Here's the first one that will go up in the morning of my trusty assistant Leigh Davis with crates of mosaic mesh sections and plenty of Laticrete MultiMax and grout :-)
Many thanks to all of you, best, Sonia
