St. John's
We have a total of twelve works throughout the outside of St. John's church where our studio is located. We've made seven signs, four seating sculptures, and one paving stone.
Our mosaics are seen in St. John's Sculpture Gardens which surround St. John's Church and the crypt where Southbank Mosaics’ studios are based. Artists have made signs for the artistic organisations that work together and out of St. John's Crypt. These include: Southbank Sinfonia, Futures Theatre Company, The Voice Factory, Bankside Keys and Southbank Mosaics.
There are four sculptural seats in the gardens (one is in process of being completed), the largest of which is a memorial seat for the homeless people who have lived and died on the streets of London. Many of them stayed and at times lived on the streets of Waterloo and used the gardens as a meeting place for friends. These days Putting Down Roots works with homeless people to plant, tend and develop the gardens for everyone to use. Southbank Mosaics’ artists have worked closely with Putting Down Roots, particularly on the seating projects. Over 80 artists and volunteers helped Southbank Mosaics to design, build and make this first tribute of its kind to the street population.
