St. John's
We have at least twenty-three works throughout the outside of St. John's church yard (Numbers change, because some of the smaller sculptures are sold, or moved, or added to). Our studio is located in the crypt of St Johns church. If you ring bell number 5 and we're around, we will do our best to welcome you. We've made seven signs, four seating sculptures, one paving stone and there are a dozen or more small sculptures.
The mosaic signs are for the artistic organisations working 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, 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, a branch of St Mungo's charity, works with homeless people to plant, tend and develop the gardens for everyone's 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.
