We have worked with a small group of young and older people from SWANA background between May and July 2022 to create pieces for an international mosaic project called ‘Mosaics for Aghan Women’.
Mosaicists from all countries are invited to draw inspiration from the colors, patterns, and textures of beautiful traditional Afghan dresses to create a long scarf to honour Afghan culture.
Summer School and holiday activities at our school
In s2020 and 2021 we ran daily (weekday) outdoor workshops throughout summer months. This was free for local residents, many of which were children. Attendees joined and created animals for our ‘Zoo’ project on the wall outside our space. This project continues to run for volunteers as ‘Local resident session’ on Thursday afternoons.
In the half term and holidays we periodically run workshops for kids. These are designed to teach kids the basics of mosaics and help them to create a piece of their own to take home. We run these classes with concessionary places for local kids who might not otherwise be able to afford to attend.

This would not have been possible without our funders:
Cultural Recovery Fund
Awards For All
At the London School of Mosaic, we want to support and engage with those in our local community from all different ages. Over the past two years, and thanks to funding from Ageing Better in Camden and Arts Council England (Cultural Recovery Fund), we have provided free classes for people over 65.
Clay and Cuppa sessions on Wednesday mornings with lunch included from Mother Canteen:
We have had ca. 80 local people attend these sessions, creating artworks in clay for our outside walls and for themselves to take home or offer to friends and family as gifts. Please have a look at the video below to see how this has enriched their lives during and after Covid.
