Quiet Majesty really did take a village!

Over the 11 weeks, so many people helped out, from donating tiles and vintage china, to sharing knowledge, practical help, food deliveries, childcare, heavy lifting and moral support.

There’s no way I could possibly thank everyone enough, without it turning in to a wannabe Oscar acceptance speech so I’ve split it between this caption and the slides!

Hopefully it makes sense! Here goes!

Obviously first off it has to be a thank you to Clare at ‘Trunks across the Thames’ for putting me forward for the project and to Annie @wildinart for initially talking me through it and to my wonderful sponsors @royalwarrantholders association ..more on them later!

Next, before I’d even cut a single tile, there were several people I badgered about the best materials and techniques for such a project - all of whom generously shared their knowledge and experience.
Thank you Caroline, Jen, Alison and Tam. What a wonderfully supportive community it is 🤍

Then there were the friends who, over the 11 weeks, helped from bringing food, keeping me company on FaceTime, mosaicing with me, ferrying Emily around and generally keeping me sane. Thank you Jo, Terri, Kate, Sarah, Becky, Jan and more. 🙏🏼 ( more on the slides!)

And finally, thank you to the friends who helped manoeuvre the now much heavier elephant into place for collection and safely back to rejoin the herd 🐘 Thank you Kate and Rich!

This project had a small army behind the scenes, and it will all have been worth it if Quiet Majesty brings people joy during the summer art trail across Windsor and Slough, and then goes on to raise lots of money for Thames Hospice at auction in October 🤞🏼🤍

Please follow @trunksacrossthethames to hear the latest news.

Damn! Despite my best efforts, this absolutely did end up sounding like an Oscars acceptance speech 😂)

Now open! 🔓🔑

Step inside our smallest museum! Built in 1844 by Jesse Hartley, the Hartley Hut is one of three huts built for dock gatemen who worked on the docks and needed to take shelter from the elements.

Many stories can be told of the people who used the shelters, which became small containers for everyday activities, from getting a haircut or cooking a pan of scouse.

Now over 180 years later, passers-by are invited into the space to discover the stories held within the huts and along our waterfront.

🏺 Pottery fragments are some of the most common finds in archaeology and the excavations from the Manchester Dock are no exception.

Piece together the history of these objects from their manufacture to their ill-fated journey to the docks, and how some of them have been reimagined into contemporary art in National Museums Liverpool's smallest venue, the Hartley Hut! 🛖

Elsa Price, Lead Curator of Archaeology, uncovers the stories that pieces of pottery can tell us about life in the past.

The design creates a flowing, wave-like pattern. In the background, a window with black frames allows natural light to illuminate the scene, contrasting with the rustic, textured wall.

Ever wondered about these intriguing octagonal buildings on our waterfront? Well all is now revealed as Hartley Hut is now OPEN as Liverpool's smallest - and newest - museum! ✨

Don't be fooled by its size, this new attraction is a Grade II listed building with almost 200 years worth of stories to share.

🗣️ Step back in time and hear from the real accounts and experience of Liverpool Dock Gatemen who worked from the huts.

🏛️ Take in the fascinating architectural features of the Hut, part of civil engineer, Jesse Hartley’s pioneering vision for Liverpool's docks.

🖼️ The Hut even contains a new, specially commissioned artwork by visual artist, Caroline Jariwala - @MangoMosaics - a lasting creative legacy to the rich heritage of the site.

Following a period of research and public consultation, the sensitive refurbishment of the Hut by Liverpool firm, Harrison Stringfellow, represents the latest exciting milestone in our Waterfront Transformation Project. A small, octagonal stone building with a flat roof stands on a cobblestone street. It has a door and window with bars. On the left, a tall, black column is adorned with numerous stickers. Several people are walking nearby under a clear blue sky. A railing and a lamppost are visible, and a large tower can be seen in the distant background.

Some pieces in my life that fell right in place at the right time.

2016 was a special year ✨✨✨
It was a year of accelerated learning and development under the guidance of @carolinejariwala @mangomosaics

Her mosaic language maybe very different from mine but surprisingly we have a lot in common.

Sharing a few glimpses of our friendship in 2016.
She is revisiting India soon 😊

Discover fragments of Liverpool's history hidden in an artwork in one of the waterfront's smallest buildings... 🛖

Artist Caroline Jariwala has created a new mosaic – using some quite old materials – which has been installed in the recently restored Hartley Hut (opening to the public soon!).

Archaeologist, Elsa Price, explores the history of these found fragments of sugar moulds, pearlware and creamware which have been incorporated into the piece.

🔗 A woman wearing glasses, a blue headscarf, and an orange apron with a floral shirt is arranging a colorful mosaic on a table. The mosaic includes various shards of pottery in blue, brown, and white patterns. Behind her are shelves filled with pottery items and art materials. Text overlay reads: "Each shard of pottery embodies the flow of goods, from fine China, to sugar."
