Heritage Day in Faringdon
Sunday 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!
