Mosaic is an ancient and  incredibly versatile art form, and produces work that is not only stunning to look at, but is tactile too. We undertake public and private commissions as well as running community projects. See headings below.

Mosaics can be for indoor or outdoors, on board for wall mounting, three dimensional mosaic sculpture, or mosaic cast in concrete for floor mosaic. The cast concrete method means that the mosaic is extremely strong a durable. All of our outdoor mosaics are made with frost proof materials, and by methods to ensure that the finished product is suitable to withstand the elements.
Some examples of previous projects and commissions appear below, but if you do not see what you want, please ask!

We also run mosaic courses. Please see the courses available, by clicking here. We can also run training to your specific requirements, one on one, or mosaic parties.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                  
This mosaic featuring medicinal plants and herbs was specially made for the ‘Places of Change’ garden at the Chelsea Flower Show 2010.

Community & Schools Projects

O

Otley Heritage Mosaic made by local groups and children (above)

Year 5 and 6 pupils made this mosaic to go on the wall outside the entrance of their school.

We have worked with a variety of community groups, including schools, inter-generational groups, learning disabled groups, homeless hostels,  groups involved in or at risk of offending.

 

Much of our recent work has been with arts in health groups, including a deaf centre and mental health groups, those with drug addiction issues. We have also worked with family learning groups.

A group of deaf people made this mosaic for their deaf centre, in Bradford. (see left)

A group of homeless men, with alcohol and other addiction problems created this mosaic to go in their hostel garden, as part of an allotment and gardening project. The mosaic also made it to the Chelsea Flower Show in 2010 (right), where it formed part of the Eden Project Places of Change Garden (Silver Medal)

Our workshops are suitable for ages 9 – 90 (they are not suitable for those under 5, as sharp pieces of tile are sometimes used. Children between 5 and 8 need to be accompanied by an adult).

This mosaic (left) was designed and made by a group of women at risk of offending, as part of a gardening and allotment project. The mosaic is now installed at the allotments in West Bowling, Bradford.

This cast concrete (right) mosaic was made by an intergenerational group (aged from 8 to 92) in Bramley, Leeds. Nothing is completely vandal proof, so when a group of local teenagers had a fire on top of this mosaic shortly after it was installed, we were pleased that there was no damage!
