To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, year 3 & 4 children were invited to submit drawings of what they would like to see in the mosaic to commemorate this special event. I used these drawings as inspiration for the overall design which we created in a two-day School mosaic workshop. If you would like to commission a Royal Coronation mosaic for your School please get in touch.

School memorial project working with pupils and staff to commemorate the loss of a much loved member of staff. A shimmering peace dove with forget me not flowers and heart detail created in a one-day School workshop. This was a reflective project with staff and pupils coming together to work on the mosaic side by side.  I worked with a small group at a time and rotated throughout the day until everyone had participated by laying a few tiles. Now installed on the outside of the School building for everyone to visit.

“Julie worked with staff and students at our school to create a beautiful mosaic in memory of our colleague. Julie was incredibly sensitive and understood exactly what we wanted and needed. All the students responded to her calm and gentle manner. Julie explained the technique and worked patiently with everyone. The result was absolutely stunning! The school are extremely pleased with the mosaic. I could not have chosen anyone more perfect than Julie to create this important piece of art with us”

Working with the community to create 10 mosaic stepping stones as part of the re-development of Silverdale Park. Each slab measures 40cm x 40cm and now installed in the playground area. I worked with the pre-school along the theme of ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’, explored patterns and quilting with the Knitter Natter group and created the Scouts logo with the local Scouts group.

“Really pleased with how these have turned out. Julie was extremely helpful and a joy to work with. We will definitely be sending future projects her way”

Working with pupils with physical, severe and profound learning difficulties to produce 5 sporting symbols each 25” in diameter

“Julie worked with students helping them to create our own Olympic rings. She captured the imagination of the students; they loved working with Julie on the project! She helped them explore the qualities of the materials and think about patterns and shape whilst creating the mosaic. The end result was fantastic”
