OUR CLIENTS

Zantium made the project a delight to work on. They were fabulous with all age groups, bringing the ideas of the children and older people to life in the mural. The finished product looks stunning thanks to the creativity, hardwork and craftsmanship of Peter. Thank you Zantium for making it such a joy for everyone.

The children found the project fun, creative and inspiring. The end products are of an exceptionally high standard, they always create a talking point and we would not hesitate to use Zantium again.

This has made my day! So beautiful, especially the fallow deer. I’ll include the images in the school newsletter. I am pleased to say that the mosaic is now proudly gracing the wall and is receiving a flurry of compliments on a daily basis.

Peter worked with our school to create a fabulous mosaic. All 420 children took part and loved every second of their involvement. I would highly recommend Zantium as a company to work in schools and would welcome Peter back anytime to join us in another art project.

The finished pieces are bright, colourful and have helped bring communities together during the whole creative process. We have been lucky to work with such professional and passionate people to achieve something wonderful.

Zantium are able to adapt their style to a wide variety of situations, and can work sensitively with, and interpret the ideas of the community groups we work with. Successful design workshops have resulted in artworks that are very personal and much valued by all who have been involved.

Zantium work very creatively with diverse community groups. They involve their participants in the entire process from planning, design and making the work ready for installation. Both artists are highly qualified and their relaxed, friendly approach helps groups to engage fully.

Zantium consistently provided high quality arts activities in a very professional, valuing way. Without exception, their projects were always well-planned, risk-assessed and carried out with great attention to detail.
