Commissions and Community Art Projects

Zantium was founded in 1998 by Peter and Alison Massey as a creative partnership specialising in mosaic and painted murals. They are based in Derbyshire but happy to travel. Individual handcrafted pieces are created to order for interior and exterior applications. They offer plenty of experience working with school and community groups to produce site specific artwork.

Please feel free to contact them regarding a specific commission, craft course or art project.

“…thanks for the wonderful mosaic you created for our school’s Centenary celebrations. The children thoroughly enjoyed being involved in the making of the mosaic and staff spoke with enthusiasm about the reaction of the children to the project. We would certainly consider inviting you to help us with future projects and would recommend Zantium Mosaics to other schools.”
