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. Special thanks to Claire and Jannifer at the school for all their hard work on the project. @gallionsprimarysch . #streetart #publicrealm #mosaic #art #craft #make #london #londonart #artist #community #publicart #clay #ceramic #artistsofinstagram #makeachange #communityart #school
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! This project is in partnership with @frarchitects and Arriva Rail London ❤️ #streetart #publicrealm #mosaic #art #craft #make #london #greentransport #tfl #londonart #artist #community #publicart #clay #ceramic #artistsofinstagram #makeachange #communityart #sufragette #londonoverground #communityworkshop
