Claudine Russell, Lead Member for Leisure and Arts at MBC said: “Up to 12 students from each school and the college took part in initial design workshops. They were shown some basic techniques of street art, how to create letters and develop their own unique style before being challenged to come up with an image to include in the mural.
“We asked all students to think about what Maidstone means to them, the parts they like best and what matters to them as a young person growing up here. It has been very interesting to see what they came up with.”
