I work on bespoke commissions for private clients which includes consultation, design, creation, fitting and finishing of mosaics. I also collaborate with garden and interior designers.

On previous school projects I have worked with children on mosaics inspired by their own designs. Workshops include both explanations and demonstrations of the various processes involved and hands-on sticking.

I come from a background as a theatre set designer and worked with groups of young people on projects such as London Talent with the Bigfoot theatre company. I also have many years of experience teaching. (English as a Foreign Language)

• ADAM STANLEY CV

Coopers Lane Primary School

Adam worked with us to create a special mosaic to be displayed permanently in our local park. It is part of a Peace Garden, which was opened by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

We chose a selection of the children's drawings, which formed the basis of the final design that Adam drew. He produced several different versions and options from which we chose the final one.

Adam then worked with the children over the course of four days to create the mosaic itself. All pupils had the opportunity to make a contribution, and several drew the final design for some sections.

Adam was delightful with the children, taking trouble to write down the names of each child in each group, so that he could refer to them by name as they worked. Everything was well-organized so that the work carried on seamlessly. He treated the children with respect and they were keen to listen carefully to his instructions and worked confidently under his direction.

The work was completed on schedule and to a high standard. Adam always stayed on to ensure that the work space was clean and tidy and good practice was observer with reference to Health and Safety.

I have no hesitation in recommending him to you, and am happy to be contacted for further information.

Nutfield Church Primary School

Adam Stanley visited our school last Easter time. He developed a design by three children into one that could be developed into a mosaic. Over the period of a week he visited school everyday and worked with every child in the school from Reception to Year 6.

On his own initiative he facilitated the children to make their own mini mosaic as well as work on the large one. He organized all the materials for us. The children had a brilliant experience and the school now has a striking piece of art work at the front of the school.

I would thoroughly recommend his work and his organization of small groups of children.
