On June 20th I travelled to the lovely little town of Ulverston armed with a bag full of Posca paint pens to help paint the town many shades of colour for Another Fine Fest. This festival is a celebration of the arts in all of its forms taken to the streets for one day of the year.
I had so much fun painting windows throughout the day as part of the festival. It felt very exciting to be painting in the streets with public passing by, this opened up lots of conversation with people and all the shop and cafe owners who I was assigned windows to paint were very welcoming and happy with their window art.

As the winter draws close and festival season is nearing an end I look back and reflect on my summer of adventures. It is always a fantastic experience working for the Melodrome Stage, below are some photos of my times running an art space at the side of the stage at Eden festival in the beautiful Dumfries valley in Scotland.
The theme for the festival this year was inter-galactic, so we gathered lots of shiny glittery materials, neon paints and bleach sprayed some fabrics to create start studded capes with the young festival goers. Throughout the three days of morning workshops we also kept adding to our giant willow 'Melodrome Mascot' to bring on the Sunday afternoon children's parade along with our proud cape-wearers. What spectacularly colourful fun times we had!
