We were back to Homerton last week, where we spent the afternoon painting a mural on the back wall of the club. The group who contributed were between the age of 11 to 14. The clubs name was painted in large letters with characters Bugs Bunny and Tweetie Pie placed either side.

This mural was painted in the ground floor of a 6 storey house over looking Regents Park in London. The room will be eventually turned into a gymnasium that leads through to a massive indoor swimming pool.The house had recently been bought by Michael and Xochi Birch who invented the social media network http://www.bebo.com. I wanted this painting to have a lot of energy and impact to enhance the overall “up tempo “feel of a gym.

Last week Cancontrol Team delivered a 3 day workshop in Southampton. Over the three days lots of canvas work was completed, followed by a large “Park Life” mural which was painted by Jode and Alex with the assistance of the young people involved. Thanks BBc Blast for making this happen.

The Unloc project aims to work with young people who have been excluded from school on their academic, personal and social development skills and support them to return to school.
It is run by Lucy Wylde and a very supportive team.  Within this project we challenged the group to produce canvases that were themed around a mural we would later paint in the new “Chill Zone” area.
Young people brainstormed lots of different and exciting ideas, after a group decision we painted a sunset mural with a jungle scene, the lettering was based on cloud shapes which enhanced the relaxed atmosphere.

Having previously delivered a very successful workshop at Sulgrave which focused on canvases we decided to base this workshop on clothing.
Once again the young people of Sulgrave shined, producing some amazing T-shirts and baseball caps.

Will from Cancontrol has also designed the clubs new logo that will be used as a sign on the front of the building and also on clothing.
