Mural painting at Positive East

July 23, 2014

Our brilliant guardian Becky has recently been busy designing and painting a mural for the gym at Positive East. She wanted to create something that was a collaborative process with the actual people who will be using the gym to allow them to have an input on their space. As part of this she held workshops where people could give their ideas, and as a group they came up with a design that included all the different aspects of what motivated people when going to the gym. A key feature of this is the fact it is set in a rural landscape – the idea of running in the countryside is obviously universally appealing!
