‘WOW!! The display with our tiles looks stunning…close up and from afar, love all the intricate designs and words used, just looks wonderful. Really can see our community’s creativity displayed in a brilliant way.

Maud you have done a great job compiling it all together piece by piece in to visual stunning display representing our community.’

Mehnaz Afzal, Birchfield Big Local 

‘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.’
