Hackney Mosaic Project


My blogger pal Everlasting Blort posted a link to a Tweet about the Shepherdess Walk Mosaics in London (see one of the mosaics above). I recognized it as one of the wonderful creations of the Hackney Mosaic Project which was set up in 2012 by mosaicist Tessa Hunkin who guides the work of a team of dedicated volunteers. 
A few years ago I posted an article from the Spitalfields Life blog about the Hounds Of Hackney Downs mosaics that I found interesting.


Here's a documentary short film about the project shot in October 2019 that shows a number of the mosaics created over the years.

 

If you're in London and want to see the mosaics this map will take you to them:
