Maud Milton and her talented team of artists, known as Artyface Community Art, work out of studios at Trinity Buoys Wharf in East London. They have become well known across the capital and beyond for helping community groups assemble totally unique mosaics. In particular, Artyface Community Art has been instrumental in fashioning striking interpretations of the ubiquitous London Underground roundel, using hundreds of handmade tiles which carry individual words relating to the locality. Maud and her colleagues have worked closely with school pupils and local residents to design tiles for mosaics for new buildings and walls in the public realm: all mounted on Marmox Multiboards in metal frames. Aside from railway and underground station signs, Maud utilizes Marmox Multiboards for any project which is going to be set in a metal frame, including house names or numbers. A spokesperson for Marmox, Grant Terry, Marketing Manager, added: “We have been delighted to provide Maud and her team with quantities of our Multiboard to help facilitate these very important local projects, involving many different members of the community.”
