Mosaic Workshop have established themselves as one of Britain’s leading studio workshops creating walls, floors and small scale artworks using the ancient method of mosaic. Wharf Walk takes one through the new shopping mall, Jubilee Place, following a trail of jewel-like mosaics displaying some of the wares which passed through the original dockyards of Canary Wharf in earlier times. Sartor Resartus lines part of the walls on the route from the DLR to Jubilee Place and depicts a playful collage of the different forms of dress of the office workers of Canary Wharf.
