Artyface was founded by Maud Milton in 1999 to provide high quality, legacy public art. Community involvement is integral to our projects: we estimate we work with 4000 + people per year, bringing people of all ages and abilities together to create art that can be enjoyed for generations to come.
About
Artyface works with schools, councils, businesses and the community to make murals, specialising in mosaics and ceramics. Maud is passionate about running intergenerational, multi-cultural inclusive workshops to make art that is accessible and open continuously to all, free of charge. Our projects on the streets of London look as good today as the first day…

‘Of all the local community efforts I have participated in, pressing clay tiles in 2020, 2021 and 2022 for the mosaic roundels at Thornton Heath and Selhurst railway stations and entrance to Kindred House has been the most enjoyable. Each artwork helped bring together members of local neighbourhoods comprising diverse ethnicities and age ranges. Whilst we used old jewellery and a clutch of every day kitchen and office drawer essentials to create designs, none of us imagined that nondescript beige clay tiles could be transformed into beautiful works of art in stunning colours. They stand testimony to shared local community endeavours and new friendships forged as a result.’
Averil Coutinho, Croydon resident (Community Lead on Thornton Heath Roundel and participant in Selhurst Roundel and Kindred House Mosaics)
‘I loved joining in and participating in the mosaic project. Me and my friends love it. The drawing excercises were great too. What made it even better as that it was a first time experience and we found a new interest so it really makes me want to go again. I really hope other people get an opportunity like this.’
