The original plan for this workshop was for me to work with the young people at Leap, on designs for a mural on the Virgin Media utility boxes on the street outside their residence and offices. But the community at large got so enthusiastic about it that we received funding to expand the project to 27 boxes throughout the Sincil Bank area. The boxes became a trail around the area, and a map was produced which included information about each of the designs and creators. The first box on the trail featured a mobile phone design, and the 'apps' were hidden on the subsequent boxes, a little game to play on your walking tour!

​

During the first stage, I spend some time with the young people at Leap coming up with ideas for their mural, which I took away and worked up into a final design. Meanwhile, messages were sent to community groups to see who would be interested in designing their own mural. We had interest from two local primary schools, one secondary school, two community groups and a few individuals. When the designs came in, I selected the most suitable and did some work to ensure they fit the format and size of the boxes.
