Just finished an amazing project run over 4 days with the children from years 3,4,5 and 6 at Normanby-By-Spital Primary School near Market Rasen. All the children were involved in designing the artwork, preparing the wall and painting the mural along the theme of the Diamond Jubilee. The wall incorporates the words Diamond Jubilee in an abstract diamond, stained glass design, along with a cartoon queen, fireworks, Union Jacks and The Red Arrows.

“The children at our school absolutely loved working with James over a 3 day period. Every child in our school from age 4 to 11 had the opportunity to work on the graffiti wall and came back into school buzzing with excitement. Our Teaching Staff really enjoyed getting their hands on the spray cans too! I cannot praise James highly enough – his passion and enthusiasm were infectious and we are looking forward to working with him again on another project in the future……….
