Muir Housing Group, based in Chester, asked Patricia to work with children at Boundary primary School in Blackpool to create a mosaic to celebrate the new eco houses built at Grange Park.
Working on a theme of aspirations and hopes for the future the children came up with the theme of ‘Welcome Home’, and designed this beautiful mosaic to instil a sense of belonging and pride in their community.
Pensby Primary School, Wirral
Children from Pensby Primary School wanted to create a piece of ‘Wow! Artwork’ for the entrance of their brand new school building.
This mosaic was created using lots of shimmery and glittery tiles in bright colours, and fused glass to give it the wow factor.
Birdsworth was commissioned by Fylde Decorative and Fine Arts Society as part of a community engagement project “It’s a Birdie,” to coincide with the British Golf open Championship 2012 held at Royal Lytham St Annes.
Celebrating literature, Birdsworth has well-known literary quotations on his wings and will take up residence in St Annes library reading garden.

Counthill High School
Patricia worked with pupils at Counthill High School as part of a project aimed at bringing together pupils from different social and cultural backgrounds.
Using the school's symbol of an owl, the design of the mosaic suggests that although we are all different shapes, colours and sizes, we are all the same and can live happily together in the same tree - or community.
Testimonial:
"Having Patricia Lee in to work with small groups of students from year 7 – 9 has been beneficial for a number of reasons:
- From design process to practical sessions boys have been engaged just as much as girls
- SEN students thrived from being given responsibility
- Sense of student identity when Art work has been installed in school
- Gifted and Talented students from year 10 have documented their workshop lessons and have used this within their GCSE Unit 1
- Students from the mixture of year groups have been able to work collaboratively which wouldn’t necessarily happen
- Engaging students with poor behaviour gave them a sense of pride"Amy Mitchell, Head of Art, University Academy Warrington.
