A stunning new mural has brightened up the walls of Martenscroft Community Nursery, thanks to a collaboration between the nursery and a local artist who was determined to create something special whilst championing sustainability.
The nursery approached artist Maya Cross with a vision to transform their plain, block-colored walls into something engaging and vibrant. What followed was a collaborative effort to reflect the children’s ideas and bring the space to life. After requesting input from the children, and with the help of her local Community RePaint branch, Maya turned their vision into a breathtaking mural.
“I requested some ideas from the children so the murals would reflect what they wanted to see and then got to work…I had such a lovely and reflective time painting these walls despite the battle with the texture of them and the race against the wonderful Manchester Rain!”
With the success of this collaboration, Martenscroft Community Nursery is now a little brighter, thanks to a beautiful blend of creativity, community spirit, and preloved paint!
