‘This is absolutely gorgeous!!! Thank you for creating such a wonderful piece of art, and inviting us, the local school children and community, to participate in this great legacy of a project.

Many thanks’

Avia Willis, Library Assistant/Assistant Library Manager, Birmingham City Council

‘Of all the local community efforts I have participated in, pressing clay tiles in 2020, 2021 and 2022 for the mosaic roundels at Thornton Heath and Selhurst railway stations and entrance to Kindred House has been the most enjoyable.  Each artwork helped bring together members of local neighbourhoods comprising diverse ethnicities and age ranges. Whilst we used old jewellery and a clutch of every day kitchen and office drawer essentials to create designs, none of us imagined that nondescript beige clay tiles could be transformed into beautiful works of art in stunning colours. They stand testimony to shared local community endeavours and new friendships forged as a result.’
