SURESTART CHILDRENS CENTRES
To date we have worked with over 30 Surestart groups, across Merseyside, creating mosaics, garden furniture, crafts and painted murals.
The groups ranged from 0 to 3 year olds, young mums and families in refuge centres to public open days and fun day events.
Itchy-feet artists work with the individual group from the design process to the completed piece of artwork.

YOUNG MUMS GROUPS
We offer short projects, tailor made for groups who can create a finished piece within one, two or three sessions depending what the group chooses to make.
The projects we offer range from mosaic mirror frames, mosaic children's name plaques, mosaic coasters, decorating wooden and felt hearts which look beautiful in any childs bedroom.

EVERTON CHILDREN'S CENTRE
This table top was produced as part of a project involving young mothers from the Sure Start Centre in Everton, Liverpool.
The project was aimed at young parents, who already meet every week at the centre to have lunch, organise events, take part in centre based activities and simply catch up and have a chat.
The idea of the project was for the parents to create their own designs at these informal group meetings; for us to show them the techniques of mosaicing and for us together, produce beautiful and unique, bistro type tables.
We also created two mosaic floral murals which would become a feature of the newly made garden patio area at the centre.
