We are really excited to announce that we will be We are really excited to announce that we will be making some mosaic roundels for the Underground and Overground at Blackhorse Road Station - we would love to have your suggestions for historical people, places, events that you would like us to include - also words that are meaningful for you about this area. Please write your suggestions (and explanations) below. Go! (And some other photos of my first tube trip in months and other lovely London pics from our river Thames picnic yesterday) .

Captured at work. Best studio spot, I’m so lucky Captured at work. Best studio spot, I’m so lucky. I didn’t manage to get there today- got the kiln power fixed and worked from home and got an allotment sunset in. I’m not coping great with lots of work demands - feels like they’re all coming at once at the moment- the way we do things is so changed - the team are not able to work in schools with communities directly as we’d be in 8 different boroughs this term and it’s too risky for all the team and the communities. The new way we are making mosaics is more time consuming but safer for everyone. This looks like a moment of peace. Someone pointed out this week that if one’s attention is as precious as gold dust, where would you want to sprinkle it? What would you want to sprinkle your precious gold dust on? Don’t scatter it willy nilly on things that waste the special sparkles - notice where you spend your attention. These wise words have made me stop disappearing down negative work and life wormholes a bit and try to appreciate the clouds and the sky a bit more and breathe a bit more deeply- I’m feeling really stressed this week and I don’t think I’m the only one. Full moon might have influenced it. #artistsway #work #river #fullmoon #golddust ok

Don’t let this photo fool you- it all looks idyl Don’t let this photo fool you- it all looks idyllic and sorted. However the truth of it is that these two are still arguing a lot. Also this beautiful aluminium frame for a mosaic is a conundrum I need to solve/explore - which is exciting, scary as well as mind and practice expanding. It’s amazing how much brain space finding new ways takes up. #tfl #arriva #transportforlondon #mosaic #publicart #communityart #streetart #tiles #aluminium #development #ideas #catsofinstagram #cats #london #roundel #underground #overground

Designed by the amazing Catherine Clark to a brief from me and the Headteacher- and made with the Artyface team and lots of pupils! #trees #mosaic #streetart #publicart #artyface #e17
Today in 10 pictures - kiln gods (bisque firing on Today in 10 pictures - kiln gods (bisque firing on) , riverside studio prep for Selborne put-up(!) and other bits n bobs (cat in a box-standard). Always lovely to walk past a mosaic on the street that we made that looks glorious on the streets of London. Always lovely to get photos from participants from projects and commissions. Fab to occasionally see the two cats getting on although as I wrote this I can hear B growling at the newcomer. #legacy #kiln #preparation #work #whatnext #publicart #walthamstow

Saturday swipe through of the gorgeous Globe Road Saturday swipe through of the gorgeous Globe Road E2 street gallery of animals from around the world. Made over 12 years ... had a little visit to see if we could spot some spaces that lend themselves to an addition. Tiles to be made by Year 5s this term and some fabulous new creatures incoming! These mosaics feature in The Monocle Guide to Better Living one of 49 examples worldwide of how to improve your city, page 75. Also in the tv series Top Boy and Catastrophe. #bethnalgreen #towerhamlets #toucan #animals #nature #globe #eastlondon #monkey #polarbear #tiger #crocodile #camel #monocle #themonocleguidetobetterliving #streetart #communityart #publicart #primaryschool #topboy #catastrophe @lulugrimes

Cracking open the stoneware firing... it’s not c Cracking open the stoneware firing... it’s not cool enough to unpack until tomorrow- that makes two days cooling from 1280! Exciting work in here for @foxprimary and other projects. Gonna need to repack straight away with bisque! This Trojan #rhodekiln is going to be busy over the next few months as we play catch-up for the last Lockdown. #firing #publicart #streetart #tiles #stoneware #hot #artyface #rhodekilns #botzglazes #potterycrafts #bathpotters #valentineclays
Today in ten pictures, backwards- enjoyed the wist Today in ten pictures, backwards- enjoyed the wisteria growing on my home studio while I’ve been checking the stoneware kiln - fired it to 1280 today. Forgot to put the kiln gods on it for the first time- let’s hope it all comes out ok!! Eeeek. Walked my son to school and passed the amazing wisteria in the village on the way home. Had the lovely @grinbergslaimons over in the garden to help grout Selhurst and trim some tiles- another productive day. Had a zoom meeting and an outdoor face-to-face meeting about an exciting school project in my hood- a school that we haven’t worked with before. Progress. Nipped to the allotment and did some speed weeding and picked some lilac blossom, purple sprouting, rhubarb and forget me nots before the school pick-up. It was really hot when the sun came out! Fed the tadpoles in the garden pond, remade some broken clay letters (doesn’t always work out!). Passed this local primary school mosaic we made with Woodside Infants school, working with the pupils a few years ago. Walked 23,000 steps so far today and still a bit of clearing up and clay tile trimming to go. This mornings start was too stressy getting to school on time - so I’m hoping tomorrow will be easier- packed lunch and clothes all ready for him... again... early night too. For us both I hope! Second vaccine tomorrow so I need to boost my natural resources to recover well! Feeling very lucky and a tad apprehensive. #mosaic #projects #allotment #wisteria #walking #grouting #artyface #team #volunteer #artistsway #ladybird #fennel #forgetmenot #allottment #vaccine #walthamstow #woodstreet
Today in ten pictures. Two feline assistants: I lo Today in ten pictures. Two feline assistants: I love their company. It’s a tense drama/romance slapstick comedy at the moment, watching their relationship unfold. Grouting tomorrow. And more gorgeous tiles to be unpacked, trimmed, dried and kept separate from the other bisque tiles waiting to be fired. #tiles #catsofinstagram #artistassistant mosaic #selhurst #clay #ceramic #croydon #artyface #catsofinstagram #kitchen #wfh
Busy 12 hour split- day working from home and from Busy 12 hour split- day working from home and from the riverside studio- about to unload the car but can barely move!
