Completed Projects
Some of our previous work:

Archbishop's Park
Southbank Mosaics has done numerous things here. Including a seating, murals, and paving stones. 
Black Prince Road Mosaic portraits of the Black Prince, a 14th century warrior prince, who won the battles of Crecy in 1346 and the battles of Poitiers in 1356. Royal Doulton's headquarters were on Black Prince Rd. We have installed ceramics in Doulton style, to commemorate their presence in the area. 
Byzantine Mosaic for St. John's Church Volunteers have made a Byzantine mosaic of Christ with children and given it to St John's Church. It has been installed in the prayer chapel of the church and adds to the impressive variety of art work there. 
Lambeth Walk - Chandlers Hall 
London Bridge With *Team London Bridge* volunteers from the community created this image of the bridge from around the 15th Century. Designed by our resident artist Jo Thorpe. This can now be seen along the river opposite Hays Galleria. 
Paving Paving stones can be made to any size. Streets with a few paving stones placed in them gain character, detail and legibility. This is an uncluttered way of making out urban environment interesting and linking streets to their roots.
You can see a few in the pavement, along the Southbank, just left of the Queen Elizabeth Hall and as you walk toward the River thames.
Salamanca Street was named after the Battle of Salamanca in 1812, fought by Lord Wellesley, before he became Duke of Wellington. We have placed mosaics of buildings from Salamanca in the tunnel. We have also installed Doulton style ceramics. 
Signage for the Southbank The sign below, commissioned by Transport for London, was placed just outside Waterloo Station in 2006 along with two others underneath the main entrance archway. 
St. Clement Dane's Primary School Southbank Mosaics made a mosaic at St. Clement Dane's Primary School in the centre of London. The theme was agreed with Year 5 children - the river Thames and important buildings along its bank. While the mosaic was taking shape London won the Olympics, so the Olympic sign was included and also "Make Poverty History" was in the news and added to the St. Paul's area. Every child in the school helped to make the mosaic, as did many teachers, support staff and parents. 
St. John's Garden Memorial Seating and Tree of Life Working in partnership with "Putting Down Roots" the artists of Southbank Mosaics and teams of volunteers have brightened up the Gardens of St. John's Church in Waterloo, with an exquisite design that shows what can be done in our parks and public spaces.
Putting Down Roots planted the garden and made the cement base for the seating area. Southbank Mosaics used the idea of water, fire, earth and air as the basis for their design. Then using reclaimed ceramics, pottery, pipes and oyster shells from the river Thames, as well as re-cycled tiles, disused stained glass from a local church and cobbles, the artists worked with thirty-six volunteers, including families, local residents and even tourists, to lay the design. 
Sculpture Gardens A series of small sculptures are on display, many made by internationally renowned artists including Eva-Luz Escobar.
The Breasts of Waterloo
Made from recycled marble, these seats symbolize our mature dependence on each other. Made by over 40 artists and volunteers.
Made with young and adult friends of Archbishops Park. The tree of life is based on the great fig tree that grows in the garden against the North wall. Included in the tree are ceramic representations of the trades of the people living in Hampton Homes- nurse, waterboatman, deal porter, postman etc. If you walk on the opposite side of Hopton street and look over the wall, in winter when the great fig tree has shed its leaves, you can see the mosaic. Otherwise you will have to ask the warden at No. 21 Hopton Street for access. Please be polite.
