The Project objectives will be achieved through the provision of three one day school consultation workshops and three one day practical onsite workshops, enabling school pupils to work with the ‘Graffiti Artist’.

The artist will work a total of eight days on site including one Saturday afternoon practical workshop (wallscape work only) to enable those facility users, not accessed through the school consultation, to contribute to the wall and floorscape art feature.
