The Aesthetics of the new building began with the basics. A group was set up to deal with many aspects around the ‘look’ of the building.
A deliberate decision was made to create a neutral space where design and colour would follow to enhance the building. Contemporary designs with a Judaic theme are the objective for the long-term development of future permanent artworks.
These will include the Arks for the Torah Scrolls, reading desks, wall art, window dressing etc.
It was always suggested that we live with the building for a while to get a feel for our specific needs – especially in the reality of three communities and the flexibility of the building.
In the interim a group worked on the chairback book-holders that seem to have been very well received by all. Practical and decorative geometric designs beautifully fitted to the chairs to accommodate Prayer Books.
New textile hangings are in progress, worked on by the same dedicated stitchers. In time commissions will follow for more permanent features.
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!

Textile Exhibition – Week 1

Alicia Merrett Textile Exhibition

Alicia is well known for her stitched textile wall-hangings. After her successful illustrated online talk to Mosaic in 2021, we have invited her to display a wide range of her work in our new gallery space. Alicia’s main loves are colour and texture and those are the most striking characteristics of her work. For a number of years she concentrated on creating maps and aerial views using patchwork and collage techniques. In 2019 she moved onto digital design, which reflects her photography background. Her current work is mostly abstract, designed on the iPad, printed on fabric, layered and stitched.
The Exhibition will be open Mondays to Thursdays 9.00 – 17.00; Fridays 9.00 to midday. Please ring 020-8864 0133 for an appointment.
