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
