Why choose a mosaic for your school, community or private project?
- Beautiful – frost resistant tiles in over 20 colours
- Long lasting – the colours will not fade (possible with a painted mural)
- Inclusive – any age/ability can take part, from design to completion
- Near vandal proof – the most likely vandalism is tagging, which is easily cleaned
- Curriculum links – a wide range of links can be made depending on the nature of the piece and the imagery
- Learn new skills which can be developed– basic mosaicing is easy to learn, then it all comes down to practice, imagination and patience
- Benefits the individuals, groups working together – and the whole school / community….everyone who will see it for years to come!
- Words and images are used – an eye catching way to communicate that appeals to all learning styles and ages
