‘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.’

“It’s great to see local organisations such as Artyface access funding to involve all members of the local community in creating and displaying these beautiful mosaics that benefit not just the schools where they’ve worked but the wider community from postmen to passersby.

Injecting both creativity and colour across Waltham Forest and London, it’s brilliant to see such a lasting legacy and impact of everyone’s hard work and enthusiasm.”
