The Salford Star covers our AOP Mosaic Group
Our friends at Salford Star have written a wonderful article about the Arts on Prescription Mosaic Group. It discusses the work they do, with photos of work and lots of quotes from the members.
It's an uplifting read and brilliant publicity for all the hard work that they do. The article can be found at;

Mosaic Group's wonderful work
The mosaic group’s artwork has been on display at Pendleton Gateway, and this is just one of the areas that the group has been hard at work on.
They also completed a number of table tops which can be used and enjoyed in the members lounge. They have also designed and created a mosaic mirror, which will also be placed in the members lounge.
The group are currently working on a 3D mosaic sign for Start’s Peoples Gallery so watch this space for more info!
Mosaic Group show us the member's lounge
A big thank you to the Mosaic group for making a new sign for the Member's Lounge. As you can see it looks great and will take pride of place for all to see. It is sure to be a feature of the lounge for years to come and shows off the group's hard work and creativity.
Our figures now sold at...The Lowry
We are delighted to announce that The Lowry craft and Gift shop has recently started stocking our ceramic figures. We offered them exclusive rights to our handmade figures, and so far sales are going well with new orders coming in each week. The ceramics department are in full production now, expecting a wealth of sales leading up to the Christmas period. Even with exclusive rights we are still able to sell from Brunswick house, and the market, but the price will be the same, so to see our hand crafted figures in a prestigious retail location pop on down to the Lowry Centre at Salford Quays.
