We work with people- in schools, in communities, in hospitals and other health care settings and can offer one or two day activity workshops for local authorities.
It is recognised that our work can meet government and local authority initiatives to address common issues such as social inclusion; cultural diversity; lifelong learning and diversionary therapy and we will structure specific projects to meet these criteria as required.

We adhere to strict Health & Safety guidelines in our working practice and in the artwork we create and all artists are fully insured.

Southminster Mural

 

 

Castle View School Project

An inspiring project to design and create an illuminated
ceramic screen wall for the front of the school,
working with Year Nine's (13, 14 year olds).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

White Notley School Project

We designed this mural based on the drawings of the subject of
the local environment.

Each child took an active role in creating the large glass mosaic
mural with parents,teachers and other members of the
community taking part and learning mosaic techniques.

 

 

White Bridge School Project

An exciting project to transform a bleak stairwell at this 1950s primary school into the interior of a 'space rocket' with seven 'windows' into space.
Parents, grandparents, staff and teachers joined the 200 5th and 6th Year students to create this stunning interior using a combination of mosaics, ceramic elements, metal and paint.

'The Super Square of Stanford'

Short-listed for Essex County Council's Best Public Art Award 2003.
This huge ceramic relief 'map' of the catchment area around the infant school in Stanford-le-Hope contains over 200 'houses' buildings and local landmarks made by the 225 infant children ranging in age from 4 to 7 years old.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tyrells Entrance Canopy Project.

The Tyrells Centre is an 'older persons resource centre' with a host of facilities for older people that also houses a young carers support service and most recently an outpatients department of Southend Hospital

An innovative project in its own right, we were called in to design a pilot art project for The Tyrells that would involve the community, promoting positive attitudes to ageing and developing better relationships between generations. An inspiring artwork was desired as the outcome that would lead to a take up of further art projects within the Centre.
The Canopy was designed based on 'The Tree of Life' and will contain images based on workshops with four schools in the local area including a special needs school and sixth form college and from ideas workshops with the Centre users and public consultations with the local community.

The Canopy will be illuminated and unveiled complete with the ceramic tiles and mosaics in September 2003.

It is recognised that our work can meet government and local authority initiatives to address common issues such as social inclusion, cultural diversity, lifelong learning and diversionary therapy and we will structure specific projects to meet these criteria as required.

 

William Read Maths Sculpture Garden

This project evolved through the need to create emphasis for an intended 'maths sculpture garden'. We worked with the maths teacher to link art with maths, based on 'Fibonacci's' theory of the perfect spiral! The brick piers were designed to display the eight panels of unglazed ceramic and pebble mosaics that were made with many of the primary school's pupils. This image shows the project prior to completion of the flower beds by the school.

 

 

At the time of preparing this site we have a number of large community and school projects in action and development including the construction of a 'maths sculpture garden' involving landscaping and structural elements with mosaics in ceramic and glass.
We will regularly update this site so please check back from time to time.
