"Before the school existed, there was really no place to learn or collaborate on sustainable mosaic works," Ami said. "I was able to find practicing artists in Europe with been raised for decades in the art form. And I invited them to come to Chicago to teach. And they didn't know me, but they still said yes. So that is basically how the foundation of the school started."
"There's something really beautiful about the experience of breaking things, and then also spending the time to puzzle it back together to create something new and beautiful."
