Combining creativity with reliability. Delivering stunning mosaic artwork commissions professionally, on time and on budget.
I know it can be a headache trying to find a mosaic artist for your architectural or landscape project…
I know because I’ve been a professional mosaic artist for over thirty years and my clients have often spoken about their initial frustrations when they first set out on the search for someone who can create a mosaic artwork.

‘Smooth Mosaic Artwork Commission Plan’
Stage 1 – Consultation
As well as our FREE initial consultation we offer a range of services that will ensure your project is built on firm foundations, including: Feasibility Reports and costings; Community Consultation; Design Workshops; Community and School Workshops.
Stage 2 – Planning
We plan our projects so you don’t have to… Careful planning and advice for our clients where it’s needed means that our projects run smoothly and tie in seamlessly with your programme. We can also advise your management contractors and sub contractors to ensure that, when it comes to site, all the cogs fit together.
Step 3 – Design
My award winning mosaic designs are exclusive to Drostle Public Arts. Each design begins with listening to you, understanding your aims for the project and also taking into account the surrounding architecture and landscape. We can also create mosaics from your own design or work with your own appointed artist.
Step 4 – Fabrication
Your mosaic will be created with passion, in-house, in my London studio. Each mosaic tesserae is hand cut and placed by myself and my studio team. Your mosaic is entirely made off site to minimise the time and disruption on-site. We can work in marble, glass, ceramic and mixed media.
Step 5 – Installation
You’ll benefit from over thirty years of mosaic installation experience, with our install team based around the same craftspeople who made your mosaic. And because it’s the same people who made the mosaic you can be sure of the same attention to detail. We love our work. To be honest, why would you choose anyone else, our installation service is second to none.

Commissioning a bespoke mosaic artwork is a totally unique event, so why not make the most of it with a grand unveiling.
