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…

‘It was a pleasure to work with Maud on the creation of a work of public art for Archway, Islington. Community and democratised art are central to her artistic worldview. Maud was extremely collaborative and hard working. We worked together on ideas, focussed on solutions when things needed development, and when designs were finalised, I trusted her and her team completely to deliver results, all which exceeded expectations. Years of experience have made Maud a trusted professional. There were so few times I felt I needed to check the progress because she regularly informed me. What’s more, I knew the work was in the safest pair of hands.’
Seán McGovern, Heritage Project Manager, Islington Council
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!
