Wells in Mosaic is a local project to install a beautiful piece of professional artwork in a prominent location in Wells. It will be a six-metre diameter mosaic circle in the form of a walkable map of the historic city centre.

It’s now approximately 9 years since the project was first conceived, and 4 years since artist, Ruth Ames-White laid the first tile on her long journey to completing the artwork. She started at one edge and slowly worked her way across the full circle, slicing it off first into one long strip and then into individual sections which are safely stored in bespoke boxes, until they will be reassembled like a giant jigsaw puzzle.

The Mayor is pictured on 18th September visiting the final strip of the mosaic visible on the artist’s 6m long workbench. The sunshine was reflecting across the beautiful colours of the mosaic as the Mayor admired the intricate artwork telling the story of our city’s beautiful and iconic buildings and landmarks. 

Wells in Mosaic is a local community project, 100% funded from donations and/or arts funding.
