Christmas is just around the corner!

Yes it is that time of year again! Everyone is in good spirits here in the office Tiled Space with only a few days left at work before the Christmas break!

We recently had our Christmas office party at the Church Restaurant in Hanley, Stoke-n-Trent. It was great food and a fab night. I thought I would share with you a photo of a few of us before we looked too worse for wear! Hope you are all getting in the spirit of Christmas as well.

We will be closed from Friday 21^st December over Christmas and New Year until the 2nd January.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us, see you next year!!

Goodbyes and Hellos!

Our lovely sales manager Clare Keegan has now left the Tiled Space team. Clare said her goodbyes yesterday and we will all miss her! She was only here 6 months but developed some great relationships with new customers. We wish her the best of luck for the future!

For the hellos, we welcome Mark Wood onto the team! Mark has survived his first week here and has thrown himself into the new position. Any ideas you have or projects you would like to discuss, Mark is more than happy to have a chat with you!

Happy Halloween!

TELFORD ENTERPRISE HUB PORTICO MURAL

Thirty entrepreneurial businesses are based at Telford Enterprise Hub (TEH).

The TEH is home to an inspirational business platform called Young Britain, which aims to help launch 100 start-ups in 2 years. A mammoth task.

We were keen to get involved and so began a project to respond to the brief ‘Use the external entrance area to make the premises stand out, create a talking point and provide an onward source of inspiration.”

Claire, our talented designer, worked with TEH to create a 73 tiled mural of a Georgian portico, to get the most from the space.

In keeping with the building character and the brand image, a unique ‘portico’ was created and installed.

Why the mural worked:
1. Created an optical illusion
2. The building is now striking
3. It’s instantly recognisable

The feedback has been astonishing and we’d love to hear your thoughts, too. Take a look at this viseo of the mural being installed! http://bit.ly/MJXIji

Oh, and if you’re interested in standing out from the crowd with art feature tiling, we’d love to hear from you, here.

Mural for Newburgh School Community art project is complete!

Jane Bradford is an artist with a background in community art projects who has children at the local school in Newburgh. Jane recently came up with the idea of creating a permanent tiled mural to be installed in the school playground and which would involve all of the children in its design.

Working with the children across all 8 classes artwork was produced about the history of their village. The main focus of the childrens work was on the large variety of shops which used to exist on the main street of Newburgh as well as the river Ythan which has always been important to the village which sits on the river estuary, and the beach. The children worked in a variety of media, including painting, drawing and printmaking and then Jane collaged the childrens work into a big picture which is a simplified aerial view of the village.

Jane knew that she wanted the mural to be permanent and so researched into the different media she could use to create it. She then found Tiledspace, and says she was impressed at the fact that the tiles were weather, light and graffiti resistant whilst also offering good quality reproduction of images.

The finished mural ended up being 5.4 x 3 metres.

The project has been lovely to work on, seeing the original design turn into the finished mural, Jane says that “Tiled space were great to work with and did the job quickly and to a very high standard. Now the whole village have a colurful mural depicting the history of their village which will be there for years to come and which they can be proud of.”
