Sir Bevois Mosaic
Will Rosie’s work with mosaics grew out of his youth work; when he decided to run some mosaic workshops, he had no idea how to make one but didn’t let that stand in his way. Since then he has learnt a lot about the art of mosaics including from You tube videos. We first became aware of Will’s work when Mr Men pictures began popping up around the city. As more and more mosaics, of different kinds, began to appear, we decided that we would like our own ‘Mosie’ in Bevois Mount so we got in touch with Will and asked him to work on a representation of Sir Bevois.
From there we had quite a long wait because we were in a queue; mosaics for a Mayflower trail, a large piece called ‘City of Sanctuary’ and many others came before us. Finally, we were able to watch Will install Sir Bevois at the Alma Road planters.
