Exciting news! We’ve been busy making beautiful Exciting news! We’ve been busy making beautiful tiles for a series of beautiful mosaic roundels, going up at 4 stations to celebrate 3 of the 6 newly named Overground lines in London . We’ve had the honour of coordinating a project across three of the newly named lines: Mildmay, Suffragette and Weaver. Partners are Arriva Rail London, @frarchitects, Vistry, @trinitybuoywharf There will be 4 small roundels at Bethnal Green for the Weaver Line station, one large roundel at Barking Riverside celebrating the Suffragette Line, and a series of three roundels at Central Acton and South Acton stations celebrating the Mildmay Line. All the roundels are full of celebrations and references to the history of the new names and where they came from. Also the mosaics are packed full of words and imagery about the areas and their local community: people, places, events, wildlife and history all come together to make a roundel that can be read in so many different ways- individual to the onlooker. Workshops to make tiles took place at Central Acton and Barking Riverside stations alongside their Meet the Manager session. Anyone passing could stop and make a tile. We also ran workshops at the local comprehensive school Riverside in Barking, at the local Primary Stuart Hedlam in Bethnal Green. We worked with the foodbank community at the Good Shephard in E2 as well as City Harvest volunteers and staff in Acton. Quotes from a few participants: “It felt amazing to leave our mark on something permanent, like we’re part of the community’s story and my voice matters” “I chose words that remind me of my friends and where I’m from. It’s cool to see that turned into art!” “It was exciting because now, every time we go to the station, we’ll feel like we’re a part of it” #community #mosaic #publicart #streetart #legacy #trains #trainspotter #clay #london #access #art #tfl #overground #publicartwork
Water For Life is the 5th mosaic arch that we have Water For Life is the 5th mosaic arch that we have made with year 6 at Fox Primary School, Nottinghill, London. We have created 1 a year for the past 5 years. The themes are all environmental and chosen by the school. Year 6 start the designs in the autumn and Maud and Catherine take many ideas from their drawings to come up with an overall design. Pupils then make ceramic tiles which Maud fires and glazes. All the border tiles are made by Year 6 with messages about water, the sea, the river, rain and watery themes. All the words in the border at the bottom were also chosen by the pupils. We assembled the mosaic in the studio over the winter and took the mosaic in to them after they had finish their SATS (exams). They got to mosaic with the team and gave their artwork the finishing touches. It’s now up on the wall for all to see in a public space: a gift to the school and the local community before they move on to secondary school. You can visit these mosaic in Kensington Place W8 7PP whenever you like - they are there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They add sparkle and colour to a plain brick wall and celebrate the schools ethos as well as the farmers market that’s held in the school playground every Saturday. The school also has a special roof garden and beehives and a living roof. These mosaics reflect this environmental conscious community. #mosaic ##streetart #publicrealm #mosaic #art #craft #make #london# #londonart #artist #community #publicart #clay #ceramic #water #artistsofinstagram #makeachange #communityart @ardex.uk @trinitybuoywharf @travisperkinsco @botzglazes @reb_arts @esme_orssich @tigerseyemosaic @vivatiling @orsoni @grinbergslaimons @rubyhelen_makes
These beautiful butterflies and moths are now immo These beautiful butterflies and moths are now immortalised in handmade sparkling mosaics around the entrance to Gallions Primary School in Newham, East London, inspiring the pupils and the school community every day. One panel celebrates three local butterflies, another three local moths and a third mosaic is a colourful painted lady butterfly welcome sign, also a local butterfly. The three butterflies are a Cabbage White, a Peacock and a Comma . The moths are a Cinnabar, Jersey Tiger and a Common Emerald. The children and staff made beautiful border tiles and created drawings and poetry about moths, butterflies and pollinators. The whole school planted lots of seeds to grow flowers and plants that pollinating insects adore. The project was kindly sponsored by L&Q Homes. Artyface would like to also give a massive thanks to the staff at the school, the parents who came in to help make mosaics and all the children and community that took part. Also I would like to give a massive thanks to all the Artyface team that were amazing as always, too many to mention but especially to Catherine, Laimons, Rebecca, Chara, Ruby and others. Also to Sharon of @vivatiling for putting them up with me. Huge thanks to @steven.aldred.3 for the beautiful mirror tiles. Big thanks to @ardex.uk for the X77 Adhesive and FL grout, to @botzglazes for the glazes, to @bisazzauk for the glass tiles and to @trinitybuoywharf for the studio space and to Sharon from @lqhomes for her support.

MAKE A CLAY TILE WORKSHOP THIS THURSDAY THE 12th O MAKE A CLAY TILE WORKSHOP THIS THURSDAY THE 12th OF JUNE - please tag anyone you know that lives or works that way! We are really excited to announce the Suffragette Line project, celebrating a newly named rail line in London. This handmade ceramic mosaic will grace the entrance of Barking Riverside station. This Thursday, 12th June, there is a Meet the Manager session at Barking Riverside station - 4pm-6pm. Please tag or share with someone that lives in the area.Just drop by near the ticket barriers and I will be set up on a table ready to welcome you and help you make a tiles or two. It may only take ten minutes or a bit longer- no stress . Your tile will be trimmed, fired, glazed, and perhaps immortalised into a mosaic roundel. We assemble the mosaic with hundreds of tiles made by the community. There are no guarantees that your tile will make it through the firings and will fit perfectly into the symmetrical pattern that we create with the tiles but we aim to use as many as we can. The roundel will tell the story of the suffragettes, the local area, and will be about trains and travel. Please bring your words that you’d like to make or to add to our list, things that you would like to press in that mean something to you (rubber-stamps or jewellery that’s not sharp or precious, pin badges, bits of Lego, odds and ends, pen lids, keys, anything small and textured ) - you can press these into the clay tiles we provide - or you can use the items that we will have. We look forward to meeting you Barking Riverside between four and six pm at the eastern end of the Suffragette Line!

Finally we can reveal our new project! This year w Finally we can reveal our new project! This year we’ve been working hard on a new Weaver Line project for Bethnal Green Overground , East London E2. We’ve made loads of lovely tiles with a local primary school, a local food bank and at Rich mix running public workshops ,alongside Neela’s exhibition of our mosaics for Gants Hill. It’s been great to have help from Neela a local artist who ran the workshops with us at Rich Mix Arts Centre. There will be four beautiful sparkly mosaics , 40 cm across the name bar Roundels at Bethnal Green train station. These roundels celebrate the history of textiles and refugee skills that came to the East End, leading to the rich and varied textile industry in the areas along the line. The Weaver Line honours the Huguenots silk weavers , Bengali fashion studios, leather workshops in Brick Lane and the William Morris link in Walthamstow. @tflgraphics @artontheunderground @ardex.uk @marmoxuk @trinitybuoywharf @words4belonging @neeladolezalova @rubyhelen_makes @botzglazes @reb_arts @orsoni @richmixlondon @aceagrams #overground #community #streetart #publicrealm #mosaic #art #craft #make #london #greentransport #tfl #londonart #artist #community #publicart #clay #ceramic #artistsofinstagram #makeachange #communityart #school #iconic #font #signage #weaverline #bethnalgreen #towerhamlets #trainline #trainspotter
Super excited to be announcing a mosaic roundel pr Super excited to be announcing a mosaic roundel project for Bethnal Green overground Station celebrating the newly named WEAVER rail line! We worked with Stewart Headlam Primary School making gorgeous tiles. They are part of the Weaver Foundation of schools and are close to the station. We also worked with the Good Shepherd food bank on the last bank holiday Monday in May to make tiles with nearly 60 people of all ages. We also ran workshops at Rich Mix Art Centre in Bethnal Green where any passers-by could drop in to make some tiles and contribute words to the mosaics. The metal frames are being made as we post this and there will be four small weaver mosaics going up at Bethnal Green rail station in the near future - watch this space! Massive thanks to everyone who took part so far and to the Artyface team and partners that have worked so hard behind the scenes on so many aspects of the project. This project is the product of a partnership between Trinity Buoy Wharf, Arriva Rail London and Artyface Community Art. Special thanks to Neela, Catherine, Chara, Ruby and Laimons, Rahana from the school, Ryan from Good Shepherd, Dudu, Samantha, Shivani from Arriva and all at Trinity Buoy Trust. transportforlondon @tflgraphics @artontheunderground @ardex.uk @marmoxuk @trinitybuoywharf @words4belonging @neeladolezalova @rubyhelen_makes @botzglazes @reb_arts @orsoni @richmixlondon @aceagrams #overground #community #streetart #publicrealm #mosaic #art #craft #make #london #greentransport #tfl #londonart #artist #community #publicart #clay #ceramic #artistsofinstagram #makeachange #communityart #school #iconic #font #signage #weaverline #bethnalgreen #towerhamlets #trainline #trainspotter

Very happy that the 10 Lost Words/Local Wildlife M Very happy that the 10 Lost Words/Local Wildlife Mosaics are all installed on the Bedford Road Mosaic Trail in E17. These 10 beautiful works of art are now sparkling in the sunshine and rain 24/7 for all to see and enjoy. These 10 mosaics (chosen by the community) are not only beautiful and colourful, but also educational and full of rich details and textures. Catherine Clark designed 10 beautiful compositions based on the 10 local wildlife themes and it is wonderful to see them all sparkly and at home in their chosen locations. Many of our mosaics celebrate wildlife and all of our mosaics have community at their heart, incorporating community handmade tiles. It was very interesting to learn that we are losing words because we’re not using them. Just like we are losing wildlife by not caring for it. These mosaics were inspired by a wonderful book, Lost Words by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris. I do hope you get over to do the Bedford Road Mosaic Trail and appreciate their creations, before or after nipping in to neighbouring Lloyd Park to enjoy the abundant nature there, as well as the creativity of William Morris in the gallery set in the park. It’s a lovely mosaic trail for adults and children. Massive thanks to all that took part and especially to Angela for orchestrating it, Aiden for putting the frames up and the whole Artyface team. #community #mosaic #e17 #walthamstow #words #lostwords #nature #wildlife #park #local #bat #newt #rowan #butterfly #bramble #mushroom #funghi #damselfly #bee #dandelion #goldfinch
This beautiful mosaic is based on William Morris’ tapestry of Epping Forest called ‘The Brook’. Displayed on Church Hill E17 alongside over 10 others, all celebrating Epping forest, William Morris and the Arts & Crafts. @morrisgallery is only a 15 minute walk from these mosaics. This new addition was made to honour the life of Emily who was a pupil at Walthamstow School for Girls. Thank you to Emily’s mum Renata for fundraising and commissioning the project, also to Walthamstow School for Girls and London Borough of Waltham Forest for their financial contributions and support. Also big thanks goes to Smiles Glass for the mirror, Andy from Ardex/Bal for the award winning tiling and to Ardex for the adhesive and grout. Huge thanks to all that made tiles and to everyone that helped with the design and making, and all the Artyface team. #mosaic #williammorris #epping #forest #family #friends #walthamstow #oak #brook #stream #flowers #ceramic #flow
Bedford Road Mosaic Trail, Walthamstow: Lost Words Bedford Road Mosaic Trail, Walthamstow: Lost Words and Local Wildlife - ten mosaics In urban environments (like London) we spend less time connected to nature. This is an issue for so many reasons, not least because we will not enjoy and care for what we don’t know. “There’s all kinds of nature right on our doorstep if we stop and look,” explains Walthamstow resident Angela McDermott. We are also losing some words to describe nature as we use them less. The words and nature depicted in these ten mosaics aim to illustrate, educate and intrigue as well as celebrate our ecosystems and biodiversity. This trail of ten mosaics is on Bedford Road E17, adjacent to Lloyd Park and the William Morris Gallery. Just like real wildlife, you will need to walk and explore to see what you can spot. Thank you to generous funders William Morris Big Local, London Borough of Waltham Forest and to Aiden Garroty for supporting the installation. Also big thanks to all who took part and all the Artyface supporters and volunteers, donors and cheerleaders. This colourful and site specific mosaic project is a resident-led community art project that was begun in 2023 and completed in 2025. Inspired by The Lost Words by Robert Macfarlane & Jackie Morris and the National Park City movement #community #mosaic #publicart #clay #streetart #legacy #communityart #trail #e17 #birds #wildlife #lostwords #ecology #thingstodoinlondon #plants #bats #mushrooms
This beautiful mosaic is based on William Morris‘s tapestry of Epping Forest called The Brook. It is the most recent addition to over ten mosaic on Church Hill E17 all celebrating William Morris and the Arts & Crafts. This mosaic was made to celebrate the life of Emily who was a pupil at Walthamstow School for Girls and went on to study fashion. The image her family chose for the design is a reminder of the many happy bike rides and walks they took in the forest. Emily’s family and friends made all the blue tiles in the surround, pressing meaningful objects in and carving personal designs. The photographic transfers are images from her sketchbook she was a very talented artist . Thank you to Emily’s mum Renata for fundraising and commissioning the project, also to Walthamstow School for Girls and to London Borough of Waltham Forest for their financial contributions and support. Also big thanks goes to Smiles Glass for the mirror, and Andy from Ardex/Bal for the award winning tiling and to Ardex for the adhesive and grout. Big thanks to all that made tiles and to everyone that helped with the design and making, and all the Artyface team. It was an honour to make this mosaic for Emily’s family to remember her and her love for the forest " Thank you to all the people involved in the process of creating this beautiful tribute mosaic for my beloved, forever missed daughter Emily. Thank you to all the people of goodwill who made kind donations and helped me to raise funds .“ Renata , Emily's mum
Wonderful to officially ‘open’ the Worthing Ra Wonderful to officially ‘open’ the Worthing Rail Station mosaics, looking stunning as part of the Station Approach improvements. Great to see the glazes and details sparkling in the spring sunshine. Here is a lovely quote from Adam Stennet, Engineer and Site Manager from Landbuild who these up for in situ for us - “It’s projects like these that remind us of the power of collaboration between art, industry, and community. A huge thank you to everyone involved in bringing this creative vision to life. Next time you’re in Worthing, take a moment to appreciate these bespoke masterpieces!” #community #mosaic #publicart #clay #streetart #legacy #communityart #rail #trainspotting #artist #art #clay # #make #improve #tiles
Saturday tiling work for the last @words4belonging Saturday tiling work for the last @words4belonging mosaic with @neeladolezalova. This ‘You Are Welcome Here’ mosaic will be on display at an exhibition @richmixlondon from the 11th to 13th of April (11th 2pm-9 , 12th 10-10, 13th 10am-7 pm ) before it finds its forever home in Gants Hill. Come by on Sat the 12th, drop-in between 2pm to 4pm for a community mosaic workshop at Rich Mix. Bring sentimental small things to press into clay for a top secret Bethnal Green project - jewellery, toys, lego, small leaves and seed heads, textured buttons, desk objects like paper clips- anything that might leave an impression when pressed into and lifted off clay. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times. Proceeds from the @words4belonging exhibition will go towards future community arts and mosaic projects. Come and buy a print or two! 😁 roundel mugs also for sale and maybe some Globe Road postcards…
These 4 beautiful community made mosaic roundels a These 4 beautiful community made mosaic roundels are UP! I haven’t had the chance to see them in their forever home yet, so big thanks to friends for sending me pictures! Please do keep tagging me in your selfies - I especially love it when someone finds the tile they made and pings us a pic! Gorgeous seaside and Southern Rail colours, humorous and poignant personal tiles from 100s of participants of all ages and abilities. Photographic transfers using images taken by pupils from St Andrews Secondary School and some of my photos of Worthing, applied to tiles in a workshop with amazing artist and friend Alice Mara. I love these legacy mosaics and I can’t wait to go and see them! Worthing is also a great seaside town to visit, full of history and natural beauty . #rail #trainspotting #community #mosaic #clay #publicart #streetart #legacy #communityart #worthing #westsussex #together #seaside #publicrealm #makeadifference #photography
We loved making these 4 mosaics for @ballymore cel We loved making these 4 mosaics for @ballymore celebrating the centenary of Lyle Park as well as championing local wildlife. All 4 of these birds are local and you may well see them on the River Thames and its environs. We worked with Royal Wharf Primary School near Lyle Park #E16 . Pupils made tiles for us to fire, glaze and include. Other community members made tiles at workshops run by the wonderful @jennifer_becomms in summer ‘24. We are super pleased with these beautiful birds, immortalised in clay and glazed to sparkle in the sunshine and in all weathers for passers-by on the riverside Royal Wharf Walk #e16 . As always we used the best products - @ardex.uk Ardex X77s adhesive and FL Cast Iron grout. Bespoke stainless steel frames and @marmoxukltd exterior cement board. Huge thanks to all that took part, and to the Artyface team that worked so hard on this #legacy #art: Catherine Clark, @reb_arts @grinbergslaimons @esme_orssich @tigerseyemosaic and to @steven.aldred.3 and Smiles Glass E17 for the beautiful mirror tiles . If you watch until the end you’ll see how the mosaics come to life and change the design as it’s being made- the drawing is just the suggestion and the starting point - the tiles need to be allowed to shine #clay #ceramic #birds #wildlife #local #community #primaryschool #tiles #mosaic @london.potters @bisazzauk @botzglazes @ballymore @rspb #birdlovers #mallard #duck #swan #oystercatcher #kingfisher #london #park #heritage #centenary #riverthames #walk #public #publicart #communityart #publicrealm #community

This was a really lovely project to make. It was t This was a really lovely project to make. It was to help Year 6s (10-11 year olds) transition to Year 7 (11-12) . Funded and masterminded by Safaplace, we were asked to work with the year 6 in Grasmere Primary School. Year 7s from the secondary school visited them and they worked together. It was a lovely opportunity for the younger children to meet the year 7s, to talk about their feelings and aspirations and what they thought Secondary School might be and what they were hoping it would be. It was also an opportunity for them to meet older pupils they would see when they began their new school. Pupils made their words and impressions in their tiles, their mini-masterpieces, which we then trimmed and glazed and assembled into a brightly coloured mosaic. The sparkly mural transformed a dark wall into a thing of beauty and interest. We used a lot of mirror so they can see themselves too! When you look closely you can read their kind, funny, aspirational and heartwarming words. We were honoured to be a part of this project. The new Year 7 s are really happy to see their work up on the wall. We had lots of lovely people saying happy enthusiastic things about their mosaic. “It was fun making the tiles with the year 7s” “I like all the colours on the mosaic”
“The year 7s who came were friendly and not scary.”
