Take a look at some more of our recent Artwork Projects
We have delivered many bespoke creative workshops since January on behalf of Bolton at Home, Harvest Housing, Extended Services in Wigan and Salford, for children centres and schools in and around Bolton, Bury and Salford.
Bishop Bridgman Primary School, BoltonWow this is so cool; we have run workshops with the school children to design their own unique quiet room. The children chose the theme of Space, artist Olly Spoon has started transforming their designs into original murals around the walls and ceiling.We have so far installed fibre lighting in the ceiling to give the effect of flickering stars as well as airbrushing the walls with a pallet of colours selected by the children. The children want to feel like they have been transported into another tranquil, relaxing dimension as they enter the room. Watch this space, Oliver has started to produce a short film documenting the room and workshops taking shape. |
