Artyface Newsletter: July 2010
We were in The Independent on Thursday July 1st, Cover Story of Education Supplement!
We have been very busy with Artyface projects so we will be sharing some of our exciting news with you in this newsletter (like the opening ceremony of Our Lady of Victories, the Open Studios and Olympiad Festival at the Wharf, E14 on the weekend 24th/25th July) and saving some for our next newsletter July no. 2. July has been a really nice month for us so far, what with the lovely interview by Peter Stanford for the front-cover story in the Education Supplement Independent Newspaper. Please see the Press page for more...
The Unveiling of Marvellous Mosaics at Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary School, Chelsea

The Our Lady of Victories Mosaic Mural was unveiled by the Mayor and Mayoress of Kensington and Chelsea on May 21st 2010. We were overwhelmed by the ceremony that the school organised on the day: the school choir put on an amazing performance (they have sung in the Royal Albert Hall before), descriptions and testimonials were spoken to the audience by the children, headteacher and the Mayor. Specially designed leaflets were handed out and a buffet to be proud of was laid on while a slideshow completed the afternoon. We were also presented with a beautiful A3 handmade book with drawings and testimonials from the children thanking us for helping them to realise their bespoke legacy mosaic mural. May we say a BIG thank you for our card which makes us smile every time we look at it.

The children, parents, teachers, neighbours, governors, Mayor and Mayoress all took part in creating the five panels which represented Africa, EurAsia, Antarctica, Australasia and The Americas. The pupils took part in drawing workshops in the Physic Garden in Chelsea and also the Natural History Museum. Maud realised that the beautiful Gilded Ceiling in the Natural History Museum that is often overlooked was similar to our theme, that of flora and fauna from around the world. Pupils drew some of the symbols such as the dove, octopus and decorative borders that were translated into mosaic. Grace Kimble and James Stockton from the Natural History Museum even came down to help out and added a few tiles to the mural!

In the centre of each panel, an endangered animal was depicted to encourage awareness and importance of our natural world. 'Free-Floaters' were also made to complement the panels including butterflies, bees, dragonflies (lots of pollinators) and a bird of prey. The children were encouraged to discover what species were endangered in the UK and throughout the world.
	Mrs McBennett the Headteacher and Ms Morrison the Deputy Head were so pleased with the progress and talent of their pupils that meetings were held to raise more finance for a welcome mural in the front of the school. Being awarded the grant, Artyface were then called back to create a beautiful entrance mosaic with the school's logo and image to greet everyone who walks through the door to the school. The playground at Our Lady of Victories has truly been transformed!
We would also like to thank Joanna Taylor for organising the gardening club, the plantation of the trees and designing the planting and benches for the playground. Our sponsors deserve a big thank-you as well: The PTA, Awards for All, Ardex for grout and adhesives and all the other people who donated tiles including Reed Harris. THANK YOU! Without you this project could not have happened. Specal thanks to everyone who took part: Each tile was carefully chosen for colour, texture and shape and placed by your hands: you have made the mural as exquisite as it is for generations to enjoy.
"Dear Maud and all your helpers from Artyface, thank you so much for helping me to realise my vision for improving the playground environment for our children. I will highly recommend you to my head teacher colleagues and would love to have you back again for future projects. You have all been so professional and friendly and we will really miss having you at Our Lady of Victories. Best wishes and huge thanks." Mrs McBennett Headteacher, Our Lady of Victories
"What a fantastic project! The playground looks beautiful." Cara Williams Victoria & Albert Museum
"It has been great to be a part of this project, and to have helped in a small way." Tim & Daria Coleridge Mayor and Mayoress, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
"Dear Maud and Artyface, the mural project has been a great experience! Thanks!" Filippo Year 6 pupil, Our Lady of Victories
New Project just confirmed for Autumn Term 2010!
We had some great news today that Globe Primary School in Tower Hamlets will be starting drawing workshops for their bespoke legacy mosaic mural in the Autumn Term. The mosaic will be on the street so all the passers-by in Bethnal Green will get to see it and love it as part of everyday life. We can't wait to get started on their 'World' Mural which will be installed outside the School gates. Globe School neighbours two other fantastic schools we have worked with in the past (Bonner Primary and Bangabandhu Primary), and Maud used to live just minutes away, so we are pleased to be back in that community for 2010-2011.

Artyface Newsletter: June 2010
Artyface scores a hat trick!
To start the Summer Term we unveiled 3 fabulous mosaic mural projects - Bonner Primary School in Bethnal Green, Winns Primary School in Walthamstow and Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary School in Chelsea (the latter will feature in our next newsletter). We also started and completed a beautiful project at Coldfall Primary School in Muswell Hill, where we were interviewed for a large feature in the Independent newspaper - in print on Thursday 1st July in the Educational Supplement: don't miss your copy! We are also excited that we are about to begin our residency at Maria Fidelis Convent School in Camden in July. There's far too much to cover in one newsletter so we will tell you about the month of May and the first two unveilings.
Winns Primary School, Walthamstow, Waltham Forest, London

After months of hard work by 600+ pupils, teachers, parents and the local community, we had a lovely unveiling at Winns Primary of their Local Heritage Mosaic Mural on May 7th. Former pupil and Olympic sprinter Jeanette Kwakye unveiled the mural assisted by the School Council. The mural is sited on the main playground wall and it sparkles and glitters, brightening up the school environment. There is always something new to notice, especially in the clay details of the market stall and buildings. Debbie Jones, Art Co-Ordinator said: "Thanks so much for all your hard work - it really has been appreciated. We will certainly miss having you and the team around the school. It has been inspiring!"

The Mosaic featured historical buildings and local landmarks such as their school, the Town Hall, the William Morris Gallery and the former famous Walthamstow Dog Track and Cinema on Hoe Street - all made from clay and formed into tiles. The pupils pressed all sorts of oddments into the clay to create different impressions that created bricks, windows, doors, roofs and foliage. To surround the buildings, they used glass, ceramic and mirror tiles to make the park area with raised beds, the roads and the street signs. All these features originated from superb line drawings that the pupils created in drawing workshops with Artyface Visiting Artist, Winn's parent, and well-known Walthamstow artist, Alice Mara. Mr Ryan, Headteacher said: "The staff and children have loved working with you on the project and the end result is amazing!"

The month of May also saw the unveiling of another large mural project for Bonner Primary School in Bethnal Green. Their theme was indiginous nature in which 3 large panels represented Autumn, Spring and Summer. The pupils investigated plant and animal in their local area, including Victoria Park. As well as the main mural, they also drew and designed a series of 'free floaters' that decorated the side wall of the school.

At the lovely opening we were yet again graced with great weather! The whole school sang a series of songs including Mary Poppins' 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!' and a touching rendition of 'You are not alone'. The Headteacher gave a speech outlining how the project came together and then the Mayor Cllr Ahmed Omer opened the mural in the playground. We were particularly impressed at the number of parents that took part in making this mural. Thank you for helping make it a success and we are so happy to have inspired you to create your own projects at home and with us at our studio!
Testimonials:
"I am absolutely delighted by the buzz that has been created in our school by the fantastic mural work. This is really what is meant by a whole school project - it's a real community effort. Maud and her team have been an absolute pleasure to work with." Martin Tune Headteacher, Bonner Primary School, Tower Hamlets "What a delight it has been to have been working on a whole school mural project led by Maud Milton. The excitement on the children's faces when they see their drawing coming to life in shiny colourful tiles is worth its weight in gold. It's been a great opportunity to bring in parents and older brother and sisters from the local secondary school. Even reception children have been able to work on tiny clay tiles which they will love finding when the mosaic is in place. It has brought everybody together in a wonderful creative way. We can't wait to see the finished project greeting us everyday as we walk through the school gates." Lindy Batchelor Teacher and Art Co-ordinator, Bonner Primary School, Tower Hamlets
"I loved the mural, the Bumble Bee was good. I made the Bumble Bee." Sakib Year 3, Bonner Primary School, Tower Hamlets
"I've been doing the mural for a week now during my breaktime and lunchtime. What we actually had to do was stick down some tiles which were made out of clay, glass and stone. We had to stick the tiles down with PVA glue and it takes 20 minutes for the glue to dry! The mural is great fun to do because once you get the hang of it you're just going to want to do it again and again. The tiles are stuck onto a piece of material called mesh." Tahmina Year 6, Bonner Primary School, Tower Hamlets

Re-using/Recycling

Artyface: the Smart Face of Community Art has worked with nearly 1000 people in the past month. February and March 2010 have been supremely busy and lots of fun. We have been enjoying re-using ceramic and glass with donations of materials from businesses and individuals:re-using is even greener than recycling! We have also been enjoying incorporating the beautiful 'recycled' Fired Earth tiles into our mosaics. The Koalas you see in the Australasia Panel above are made entirely from recycled tiles, kindly donated by Fired Earth: thank you Fired Earth! Also a huge "thank you" to all the pupils, parents, community members, volunteers and teachers who have participated in our fortnight mosaicing in Chelsea and then our fortnight in Tower Hamlets.

Most of the Artyface team: Leona, Jyotika, Maud, Catherine, Clem, Sunita (Jill wasn't in that day)
We do appreciate you passing this newsletter on to people and organisations you think may be interested in a project in 2010-11. To send this newsletter to someone else please copy and send them the link to this page: http://www.artyface.co.uk/arty_news.php
The Mayor, Mayoress, Councillor Taylor, School Governors and staff from The Natural History Museum visited the children at Chelsea and took part in their mosaic.

The "Gold" project at Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary School in Chelsea became even busier with a special visit from the Mayor and Mayoress of The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Councillor Taylor and many of the school's Governors. The visitors had the project, methods and materials explained to them by pupils before making mosaics with them. It was a very special day and thank you to all who helped turn the children's drawings into beautiful mosaics over the course of the project.

We also had help from James Stockton, who works at The Natural History Museum, where the children have been drawing and taking inspirations from the wonderful Gilded Ceiling, carvings and world-renowned architectural details.

"I loved taking part in the mural sessions, especially doing all the 'fiddly bits'. I put all my dedication into this project and I had a fantastic time with Maud and the rest of the crew. I love Artyface!" Fillipo, Year 6

"I absolutely loved the fantastic experience of doing the mural. I will never forget doing it and learning so much about the tiles and how the mural works, like using the mesh with the handmade tiles. I will also never forget meeting the Mayor. The good thing is that every child gets to participate. With a special thanks to you, Maud, Leona, Catherine and everyone else who helped out on the mural!" Thomas, Year 6

Thank you to all the parents, neighbours, siblings, extended family members, my Auntie Glo, staff from the Natural History Museum, and everyone else that took the time and the effort to come up to the top floor to see the project and to take part. Special thanks to the music department for allowing us to take over their room for a fortnight again. We appreciate your enthusiasm and participation and we look forward to seeing you again at the unveiling sometime to be arranged in May.

Victorious and Glorious Workshops at Our Lady of Victories in Chelsea The "Gold" project at Our Lady of Victories Roman Catholic Primary School in Chelsea is very exciting. We have developed strong links with the Natural History Museum who will exhibit photos and pictures of the project at the Museum. The first day of making was a staff INSET training day and all teachers and teaching assistants rolled their sleeves up and got involved in their mosaic. Over the following fortnight we worked with around 140 pupils, as well as having siblings from other schools, lots of mums and dads, a friar, grandparents, aunts, neighbours and even Cllr. Mrs. Frances Taylor (Chairman of the Public Realm Scrutiny Committee and Chairman of Twinning, and also grandmother of three OLOV pupils!). Thank you to all who have helped turn the children's drawings into beautiful mosaics.

We are to be honoured with the Mayor of Kensington and Chelsea and some of the staff of the Natural History Museum coming to make mosaics with us between February 22nd and March 5th. Grandparents, parents and neighbours, if you would like to learn about mosaics and to come and join them, you are very welcome! Come with a friend. We will make it fun and easy for you! No previous experience needed or artistic talent. We need your help and you may discover a new appreciation for mosaics, or even a new skill/hobby! Please call Maud 07958 911315 or email her at maud@artyface.co.uk or call the school to book yourself in.

"At Our Lady of Victories we were seeking a partnership with artists for a whole school project to brighten up our outdoor playground environment - and Maud and her team at Artyface were a godsend! With endless patience and good humour, the artists and volunteers work tirelessly and their infectious enthusiasm for the work which they are doing is contagious. During the period when the work has been going on in school there has been a stream of eager children and adults wanting to participate. Maud herself is a jewel among artisans, inspired and inspiring, driven to share her skills and enthusiasm with as many people as possible, generously modelling her craft with others. She is super-organised and has shouldered the major part of the work in bidding for funds, resourcing and supplying the materials. Without her the project would not have been anywhere near as successful - she really does make dreams come to fruition!" Geraldine Morrison, Deputy Headteacher

A Winning Mural for Winns We had a fabulous two weeks before Christmas at Winns Primary School in Walthamstow. We put the pupils' hand-made, glaze-fired, ceramic tiles depicting Walthamstow's buildings and market stalls into place. It was very rewarding and well worth the wait to see their drawings translated into the finished shiny tiles. They then mosaiced the roads, buses, people, trees and Lloyds Park around the hand-made tiles and it looks fabulous, we are just waiting for the weather to warm up so we can put it up!

"We can't wait to see the mini-beasts go up in our playground as well as the main mural - you have all worked so hard!" Debbie Jones, Art Co-ordinator and Teacher
"Our children have learned so much and enjoyed creating something new which will be valued for years to come." Year 4 teachers, Winns Primary School
We at Artyface can't wait to see the finished work up and finished in its final home. May the spring be swift so we can get it up as soon as possible!
Artyface is upping our recycling for our New Year's resolution For our New Year, we have made a new start: MORE RECYCLING! This makes sense educationally, environmentally and economically, AND is more interesting aesthically in texture and colour, shapes and forms, than just using bought-in and hand-made tiles. With the steep increase in price of many materials (up by a third in some cases!) and an increasing awareness of the need to re-use (even greener than recycling) we had a re-think about sourcing more ethical materials. We are now recycling/re-using high-fired pottery from artists/potters, beachcombed glass and ceramics, mirror and other miscellaneous materials: donations accepted gladly!

We would like to thank: Fired Earth Smiles Glass in Walthamstow Jeremy and Petra at Wobage Farm, Ross-on-Wye Elena Gillman and family for her beachcombing and her secret sources Daniel Smith for his beautiful porcelain glaze tests Jonny Burton for his grandfather's beautiful antique smalti and glass tiles Karen Tooth from London Potters Association The Salvation Army in Walthamstow

Artyface Newsletter: November 2009
Bonner Primary School in Tower Hamlets gets the whole school community involved in their Gold Mural Project! With our fabulous Architect Volunteers Ruta, Sunita and Jyotika assisting, the Artyface team of teachers Jill, Catherine, Alice, Clem and Leona have helped Maud beaver away in Bonner Primary School, Tower Hamlets, East London. Their mission is to make three large elliptical murals along with colourful 'free-floaters' in ceramic (some hand-made by pupils) and glass tiles, and to use recycled porcelain, stoneware and mirror whenever possible. The ellipses are Autumn, Spring and Summer scenes and all the animals and plants in the design were drawn in workshops with our artists. They will enliven and inspire in the newly-built urban school's playground. "I am absolutely delighted by the buzz that has been created in our school by the fantastic mural work" Martin Tune, Headteacher told us. "This is really what is meant by a whole school project - it's a real community effort. Maud and her team have been an absolute pleasure to work with."

More than 20 Mums, a Grandma, over 250 of Bonner's pupils, one younger sibling, the school cooks, over 46 teachers and teaching assistants on their INSET, the caretaker, a cleaner, some of the children of staff, 6 pupils from the local comprehensive Morpeth (doing their Duke of Edinburgh Awards) and others have been involved in making the mosaics so far in our eight amazing making-days in the school in November.

We are really happy with the community enthusiasm and our aims for our final residency in February are to provide workshops so that: every pupil has had a go; more dads and grandads get involved; more grandmas come and learn; all the school cleaners have a go; we spread the 'mosaic-bug' even further! At least one family are making mosaic mirrors for their Christmas presents this year after our mural workshops and this is exactly what we are aiming for, to reach out and include more people! One mum who came for 3 hours for three mornings said this is the first thing she has done for herself as her adult life so far has been spent looking after her family! Lindy Batchelor, Teacher and Art Co-ordinator, said: "What a delight it has been to have been working on a whole school mural project led by Maud Milton. The excitement on the children's faces when they see their drawing coming to life in shiny colourful tiles is worth its weight in gold. It's been a great opportunity to bring in parents and older brother and sisters from the local secondary school. Even reception children have been able to work on tiny clay tiles which they will love finding when the mosaic is in place. It has brought everybody together in a wonderful creative way. We can't wait to see the finished project greeting us everyday as we walk through the school gates."
Hargrave Park Half-Term Hexagon Project We also had an extremely successful Half-term Bronze Project at Hargrave Park Primary School in Islington. 30 pupils from the area (from different schools) who attended the half-term playscheme had fun drawing each other in active poses. They designed panels to describe the different activities that take place at the school, then drew and painted these onto primed wooden hexagons that will be mounted in the school's entrance hall for all to see everyday. As a very active school the images ranged from Dance, Swimming, Karate, Capoeira, French, Art, to the other usual subjects such as reading and writing and other Healthy-Living activities. Ranging from Year 1 to Year 6 the students worked hard and learned new design and painting skills. They worked brilliantly together as a team, with older and more able children helping younger children and those with Special Needs.

We are happy to announce a new Bronze Mosaic Project for Our Maria Fidelis Roman Catholic Convent School in Camden, London, in the Summer 2010! The theme is enlightenment combined with textile patterns from around the world to represent the multi-cultural population of the school. Artyface will do a few days of drawing and designing workshops, and then a week of wonderful workshops making indoor and outdoor panels that will be moveable when the school changes premises. Also Grangetown Primary, Cardiff, Grand Mural Opening Day Was A Great Success The PTA organised a special open day to cut the ribbon in front of the mural and to celebrate the opening of their lovely mosaic. Pictures of the process were displayed, activities making their own paper mosaics were set up, and a lucky-dip and teas and coffees were enjoyed by all! The Headteacher, Mandy Paish told us: "The launch was a big success and really enjoyed by everybody and as the PTA said, the mosaic looked fabulous and everybody thought so! Thanks once again for all your hard work."

We are currently looking for more projects for 2010-11. Artyface are organising mosaic workshops in our studio for Spring-Summer 2010. Please get in touch if you are interested in taking part. We have special rates for groups! Make that special mirror/tabletop/fire hearth you have always wanted!
Artyface Newsletter: October 2009
Grangetown Primary School in Cardiff celebrates their mini-beast mosaic! Drawn, designed and made by pupils and helped by the wider community, the mosiacs have been great fun to make and look fabulous.

The theme was mini-beasts and small animals as it was for the Nursery and Early Years Foundation Phase playground (they study mini-beasts as part of their curriculum). The whole school was involved in the drawing processes for the design and Maud and Clement ran extra-curricular workshops in lunch-times and after-school, drawing from real flowers and foliage as well as images of insects and creatures. These were then made into a design by pupils and then pupils, their parents, friends and siblings, including one Grandmother, a few teachers, a school governor, some pupils from a neighbouring school and the Caretakers daughter!
		Mini-beasts and small animals with their designers!
We are really happy with the community involvement, and the mosaics have transformed an old and tired space into a special inspiring place: the pupils hard-work has really paid off! Headteacher Mandy Paish said "We are absolutely delighted with our mosaic created by Artyface. The project was a whole community project that not only involved all pupils in the school but also provided opportunities to parents, grandparents and friends of the community to be involved. The finished product was totally above our expectations and has spectacularly enhanced our Key Stage 1 entrance." We would like to thank Awards for All and the School for funding, the project, Ardex Adhesives for their contribution of their fabulous adhesives and grout, as well as the Grangetown Primary community and all involved in the project and for accommodation donated! Special thanks to Mark the Caretaker who kindly donated his time to paint the wall and to Joanna Coulson: mum, artist, Governor and inspiration for the project.
We also had a very successful Open Studios in September in association with London Open House
		Thank you to all who came and took part in the mosaic William Morris border for Winns Primary School in Walthamstow. We had at least 100 people over the two days, glueing tiles for the birds, fish and foliage.
