Mosaics and More at Adelphi Mill - Barnaby Mosaic and Macc FC Mossaic

What would I do without my trusty mosaic mentees, Ruth and Moira! 
Thank you, girls for coming to help finish the Barnaby


Also to Pat, our new recruit, doing a stellar job, finishing the mosaics which the children at Ash Grove School started


And not forgetting Chris, our Young Creative who has some real mosaic staying power.


No rest for the willing...


Concentration and copious cups of tea!


As you can see, there is still lots to do! Please call us now to book a place to come and help on the Macclesfield FC community Mosaic.




Not forgetting the Barnaby Mosaic....

More Barnaby News!

Phew - had a really productive day today!


I've heard I won third prize in the Barnaby Festival 'Write on Time' competition. Wow! How exciting.


In the meantime I've achieved, today:


  • The Barnaby Festival Mosaic has now been drawn out. I will make some fused glass faces tomorrow in the kiln.
  • The winning play will be acted out at Costa Coffee in Macclesfield this Friday and Saturday night. See the Barnaby Festival website for details. Well done!
  • The tesserae for the Mansfield Park mosaic coasters are ready.
  • The Fairway Primary School Mosaic Mural is ready to be drawn out.
  • The next 4 panels of the Macclesfield Town FC Community mosaic have been sized and are awaiting the designs to be drawn on
  • I've soaked and dried 30 sheets of tesserae on paper ready for the next three panels
  • Designed my new leaflet
  • booked the ferry to the Isle of Man to complete the Garey Glass project in Douglas
  • and I'm just about to set off to Congleton to work with the Crossroads for Young Carers Group for the Macc FC mural mosaic.

If anyone wants to come and help work on the Macc FC mosaic - call me to arrange a time suitable to us both and we can sit and mosaic the day away!

Busy, busy, busy!

Macclesfield Town FC Community Mosaic - day 4

Well, that's another panel sorted...


...off to the David Lewis Centre this afternoon. 

This panel depicts the time in the 1900s when ladies were admitted free! I wonder if any men donned a skirt and tried to get in?

The other half of the panel shows the 1910 joy of the football club when they won the Cheshire Senior cup.
