Project Blake is continuing with the making of mosaic transformations of the works of William Blake.

We ave already installed 36 pieces of his work around the streets of North Lambeth and aim to produce about 50 more pieces over the next few years. These will be installed in the area around Hercules Rd. where Blake live from 1790-1800.

If you want to get involved in the making process then go to www.southbankmosaics.com and click volunteers on the menu.

Completed works are also exhibited at St. John’s Crypt, Waterloo where they can be viewed by visiting the mosaics studies at St John’s Crypt, 73 Waterloo Rd., London SE1 8UD, Telephone: 020 7620 6070

Project Blake is delighted to announce that the Archbishop of Canterbury has recorded two William Blake poems for Project Blake Sund Installation.  Afterwards he had these kind words to say:

It was a pleasure contributing a poem to this fascinating project; the proposed installation will provide a fitting long-term legacy for William Blake’s decade in Lambeth.  Lambeth Palace, the official London residence of Archbishops of Canterbury since the 13th century, would have been familiar to Blake as it was a short walk from his home in Hercules Buildings – though he would not have had much time for the official Church of his day!  But the borough has special associations for both of us and I am delighted that Project Blake has brought us together
