Mosaic can go on many surfaces: on floors and walls, in kitchens, bathrooms, swimming pools and conservatories.

It is suitable for interior and exterior use and in wet and dry conditions; mosaic is the ultimate combination of luxury and durability. The mosaic pieces can be made of marble, stone, glazed or unglazed ceramic, opaque glass, gold or silver leaf set in glass, or local materials; for example, cobbles. Different techniques of making up the design are employed to suit the individual project. Often the mosaic is made up in the studio and transported to the site to be set in place.

Although every project differs, the usual procedure involves an initial visit to discuss the mosaic in detail. The next step is the design. A fee may be charged for this, but modifications to the design will be at no extra cost. On approval of the design, work can proceed. After the mosaic is fixed in place, it is grouted - the final stage in creating an inevitably unique and lasting surface.

Rosalind and her team have made many mosaics for private clients, who include Michael Caine, Jeremy Irons, Cameron Mackintosh, and Lloyds Bank. ‘The great challenge’, she says, ‘is to take the clients’ ideas and make their dream come true.’ With this in mind she listens to the client very carefully, providing technical advice and creative input as needed.
Having worked in homes where a substantial amount of interior reconstruction and decoration is being carried out, she has plenty of experience in co-operating with architects, interior designers, artisans and others on site. She is also used to - and respects - the constraints of deadlines and budgets.
