Information about Margo Anton…
Margo is Canadian, but travels from place to place, in particular working or based in various place for relatively short periods of time. She is perhaps best known for her beautiful Smalti jewellery, set in silver, but she also teaches much more than that! She has been working as a professional mosaic artist and mosaic educator for almost two decades, creating fine art mosaics, mosaic jewellery, and teaching classes. She has exhibited art work in her native Canada, the USA, Italy, Ireland, Australia, and France. When not creating mosaics and mosaic jewellery, she shares her knowledge and love of the mosaic medium by teaching, from classes in Canada, to workshops and artist residencies abroad. In 2023, she launched her Santorini Mosaic Workshops in Greece, where she resides part time. She is particularly known for unique style of high end mosaic jewellery and for creating heavily textured “shag rug” mosaics. She lives a semi nomadic lifestyle, splitting her time between several locations globally each year. Her work can be seen here.
