Nestled in Exmore on Virginia’s Eastern Shore peninsula, New Ravenna designs and fabricates lavish, handcrafted mosaics. In 2022, the company celebrated its 30th anniversary with a mosaic design competition featuring entries submitted in two categories: Fine Art and Pattern. 

“The breadth of imagination and talent was astounding,” notes New Ravenna creative director Cean Irminger, commenting on the submissions. “Winners were selected for the beauty of their original artwork and the challenge of each piece’s mosaic realization.”

Four winning designs, announced in February, have joined the company’s catalog as Pinnacle, a new collection. Each motif is fashioned by hand out of brass, jewel glass and honed, polished and tumbled stone, using hand-cutting and waterjet techniques. The designers will receive a commission for each made-to-measure mosaic produced. newravenna.com
