Community art project creates mosaic station signs

Four new station signs have been made using hundreds of mosaic tiles created in a series of community art workshops.

Worthing ceramics artist Alice Mara helped design the roundels, which have been installed at the front of Worthing Station as part of a revamp of the area.

The project was commissioned by West Sussex County Council, and led by Artyface Community Art which ran school and community workshops to make the tiles.

Artyface founder Maud Milton said: “Especially poignant are the meanings in the tiles that people of all ages and abilities made with us using toys, jewellery and personal items from relatives no longer alive, alongside other fun and meaningful words and designs.

“They’re designed to be read and wondered over, adding a long-term legacy artwork to Worthing railway station that reflects the character of this vibrant, exciting and beautiful seaside town.”

Councillor Steve Waight, West Sussex County Council’s Cabinet Member for Economic Development, said: “Including a community art project in the planned work was an effective way to express that, especially as Artyface involved hundreds of local people in their workshops which has resulted in four artistic roundels for the station that celebrate Worthing.”

Lauren Heap, Southern’s west coast area station manager, said: “These plaques serve as a wonderful nod to the town our railway serves, from its rich history playing host to author Jane Austen, to coastal attractions like the pier, promenade and beach.”
