What is pique-assiette?
Pique-assiette is a style of mosaic that incorporates ceramic shards, broken dishes and other found objects into a design. While traditional mosaics use small square cubes, usually uniformly shaped, pique-assiette uses non-uniform pieces. The term pique-assiette has a French origin and means "stolen plate" or "broken plate" and it also refers to someone who is a "scrounger", which is the perfect word because most pique-assiette art is created out of recycled or "scrounged" materials. There is a long tradition of using broken and discarded materials to create folk art.
