Brunswick Nursery Workshop

This whole project turned out to be a blast. All the children where a joy to work with and really got into the a activity and the parents loved the end result too.

I was sceptical when we were first approached by Brunswick Nursery to create a workshop to teach a group of 30 of there 3-4 year-olds. This was new ground for blight society and the specification that went with the project was daunting. 

The end result of the workshop was to be a full colour mural in the nursery garden. It had to be as much of the children's own work as possible and be finished to a very high standard. We also had to use non toxic materials safe for the under 6’s instead of our usual spray paints 

In the end we settled on the idea of giving the students an outline to work to and then to let the students use poster paints with rollers, brushes and sponges to add the colour and texture into the piece.

We pretty much let the children loose with the paint but kept a tight control on the set of colour each group had access to reduce the chanse of the paints being mixed into a brown mess. it worked and all the work was bright and colourful. Once the children had finished a blight society artist added final touches to the wall in spray paint. The whole wall was then lacquered to seal in the poster paint against the weather.
