Our communal synagogue space was designed to be as flexible as possible and a deliberate decision was made to create a neutral space with design and colour to enhance the building with contemporary designs with a Judaic theme.
Coming into you will see a wall of Jerusalem stone with a colourful wall hanging, one of many throughout the building created by a dedicated team of stitchers. This team created the chairback book-holders with practical and decorative geometric designs beautifully fitted to the chairs to accommodate prayer books. On the left of the entrance is the signature Mosaic logo handmade in glass by local artist Harriet Pelham with the welcome “SHALOM”. The stitcher ladies have also created several series of large colourful textile hangings. One set is based on the tradition and mitzvah to wear tallit with the fringes and tassels another set commemorates the exodus from Egypt and the journey to Jerusalem..
On entering the building in the lobby, the signature Mosaic logo handmade in glass by local artist Harriet Pelham with the welcome “SHALOM” is apparent.
This has been mounted on to Jerusalem stone as our first commissioned work of art.
As you enter the main hall an ever changing digital projection of images can be seen.
We have now started to mount Art Exhibitions to promote artists and simultaneously decorate our walls. See below for details of any upcoming exhibitions or events.
More exciting Exhibitions will be programmed. ……. Watch this space!
Anyone interested to find out more about projects going forward please contact Joan Noble via the synagogue office

Carly Rose – “And Breathe” – Week 1
Monday, 1st December @ 8:00 am to Friday, 5th December @ 5:00 pm
Carly discovered painting a few years ago, at a time when she was searching for a creative outlet to balance the busyness of life as a primary school teacher and a mum of two. What began as a quiet way to carve out some “me time” quickly grew into a passion. Painting has allowed her to unwind, express, and explore a whole new side of her creativity.
Her work is full of energy and vibrancy, using a lot of colour and texture. Carly takes her inspiration from many different areas, the natural world, people and a love of travel. Recently, she has expanded her craft to pottery and has found a different artistic channel through creating pieces by hand.
Until now, Carly’s paintings have been personal – created purely for enjoyment or gifted to family and friends. This exhibition marks her first time sharing her work more widely, an exciting and slightly nerve-wracking step!
Carly’s exhibition will be held from 1st – 31st December.
Meet the Artist – Carly Rose
