You can read all about the lastest giant colouring-in project with the youth group at Action for Children by clicking here.
I thoroughly enjoyed working on this project (as I do on every project). The best part of this one was getting a whole group of young people to come with the design ideas. Following this, their ideas were illustrated by me & then the group had to take an active part in designing the colour for the piece. The whole group took great pride and care colouring it in & boy was it worth it!

Made for Les' 60th birthday party..... this colouring-in was commissioned by the close family of a man called Les. They wanted to get him something different for his 60th birthday, that would also entertain throughout the 'circus' fancy dress party, so 'Cirque de Les' was born.
Inspired by Les' love of the circus & designed with the old vintage circus posters in mind! This mini giant colouring-in was made for a party of 20 people- and they completed it within 4 hours using paint pens! More photos are on there way!

Tailored to the happy couple, this Giant Colouring-in was commissioned especially for a wedding.
Zoe & Bob wanted an interactive activity for all their family & friends that was creative, fun and resulted in a unique memento of the day. The piece was delivered in advance & they were supplied with a goody bag of art supplies so the activity ran by itself- and look at the fun they had!
'When we decided to get married, I thought immediately of the giant colouring-in I saw at Worcester Arts Workshop and decided it would be a lovely community thing to do at our wedding. We asked her to prepare a big canvas with an outline and had several requests of what to include. She then adapted our ideas and created a really beautiful template. All the guests took part in painting the picture on the day after the wedding outside and it really drew the party together!
It was a great way to involve everyone, young and old and nearly every guest contributed. It was not only a beautiful painting which we will cherish, but we also have great memories and photos of everyone painting their little section so it means so much to us! Thanks Maz, we are thrilled!'

Comissioned for the St.George's Day Parade in Telford, by Telford & Wrekin County Council, this giant colouring-in was very designed with a stained glass window theme combined with George & the dragon. All the public were invited to contribrute to the piece using paint pens, which made colouring-in very easy for everyone. Children under 10 were provided with a mini colouring-in, so even the youngest & most expressive of artists could participate!
The piece was finished over 4 hours and is now displayed in the town's library
