Mosaics in public areas have to be extremely durable, and Rosalind always takes this into account when selecting materials for a project. High quality adhesives and grouts are used; this is an aspect that is never skimped on. The end result is a tough product, and vandalism is rarely a problem even in sites traditionally seen as vulnerable. Graffiti can be cleaned off using standard techniques.

Often the mosaic is part of an overall scheme involving major construction work. Rosalind is experienced in liaising with town planners, architects, engineers, and the construction industry. Deadlines and budget restraints are understood and respected.

Rosalind has carried out commissions for public spaces up and down the country. These include: a mosaic map in Petersfield, Hampshire; a public swimming pool in Crediton, Devon; a decorative mosaic in Cadzow Glen, Hamilton; a mosaic map in Coventry Canal Basin.

Every project is unique and provides a fresh and exciting challenge. If necessary Rosalind will carry out research in local libraries, newspaper archives, and with historical societies. Sometimes she holds public meetings; contact and good relations with the public are important and lead to a successful and well-received project. Interest by the local media is respected, and Rosalind and her team try to accommodate the requirements of journalists and television crews.
