The Prix Picassiette Mosaic Exhibition was created in 1996 at the 10th anniversary of the 3Rs association. The Association promotes the creation of mosaics and was inspired by Raymond Isidore who covered his house with mosaics. The "maison picassiette" pictured below is located in Chartres, France.
La Maison Picassiette - Raymond Isidore - "mosaics of broken glass and crockery adorn the building, its courtyards and interior, covering even the sewing machine and coffee grinder..." Chartres, France
“I followed my spirit as one follows one’s path (…) Before coming to my work site, I would often walk for several kilometres in search of my raw material : broken plates. The materials I found were the bases of eau de cologne bottles, medecine bottles, whathever people disdain and throw away in pits and dumps but could still be of use. I picked up that which others had rejected (…) I went everywhere to retrieve what no-one had a use for (…) Many people could do as much : but no, they don’t dare. But as for me, I took my hands and they brought me happiness. I would like to be an example”.
