The project has evolved as we've responded to unexpected challenges. After beginning preparation work, we discovered the wall had an anti-graffiti wax coating which prevented paint from bonding to the bricks. Removing and treating this surface safely required significantly more preparation time than anticipated, including the hire of a power washer and additional materials.

Combined with several days of poor weather, work that we originally expected to complete in around four days ultimately took nine.

Although this has used a significant portion of our budget, we are pleased to report that the walls are nearly ready for painting and we are excited to welcome participants to the project. To accommodate these delays, we have rescheduled the above workshop dates.

We encourage you to drop in any time to take part, we supply all materials.
