MOSAIC HOW TO: SAND + SMOOTH SHARP, JAGGED TESSERAE WITH A SANDING STONE | 2 Methods, + Pros v Cons

Cutting mosaic tesserae can be tricky, and sometimes, we need a little extra help smoothing an edge or sharp point. Sounds like a perfect job for a sanding stone! In this video I go over what a sanding stone is, the importance of every mosaic artist having one, how to use it wet or dry, and which option I prefer to use. As always, LOTS of tips and tricks throughout.
