Heritage Day in FaringdonSunday 13th September was Heritage Day in Faringdon and the Youth Centre was asked to contribute something to

the day!

So naturally we thought …

the idea being we would celebrate the Sights, Smells and Sounds of Faringdon and the local area, but in a modern way.

Preparing the boards

Waiting for graffiti

Preparing for painting

The first marks!

Two artists from ‘On It Design’(www.onitdesign.com) in London came down

and worked with Young People showing them different techniques with a spray can…

…before setting them loose on the mural!

Adding details…

Filling in the background

Safety apparatus is a must!

Adding some sparkle

Some local landmarks…

We think it looks pretty good!
