Bostik, Artaic sponsor hands-on mosaic workshop

[New York] Bostik and Artaic, a provider of custom mosaics, partnered with Microsoft here March 23 to host a free mosaic design workshop at Manhattan’s Microsoft Store.

Ted Acworth, founder and CEO of Artaic, talked about the roots of the Artaic’s partnership with Bostik, which was established when he was in search of a translucent grout. And while Artaic designs and manufactures mosaics, they don’t install them. “That’s where Bostik steps in with the technical know-how,” Acworth said.

Scott Banda, director of marketing and business development at Bostik, said the partnership with Artaic has led to great opportunities. 

The event also featured a hands-on tutorial using Artaic’s free design software, Tylist, and attendees participated in an impromptu mosaic design contest. The winner, David Kim, received a Microsoft Surface Pro Tablet.
