Behind the Artwork: Kaleidoscopic Heritage with Andy Welland
There’s more to delivering a mural than just putting paint on a wall. Every project brings its own considerations, from the relationship between the artwork and its surroundings to the practicalities of bringing a design to life on site.
Our recent project with artist Andy Welland at Bromley Old Town Hall brought these elements together, creating a contemporary artwork for the courtyard of a Grade II listed building. Titled Kaleidoscopic Heritage, the project also gave us an opportunity to celebrate the finished work with a launch event and a bespoke detail created especially for the occasion.

Community Engagement Behind A ‘Town in Motion’
Earlier this year, we completed the latest addition to the Ashford Unframed mural trail in collaboration with London-based artist, illustrator and animator Will Barras.
Known for his distinctive visual language, characterised by fluid perspectives, expressive gestural lines and a strong sense of movement, Barras' work often explores the relationship between people, place and energy. His dynamic style made him a natural choice for a project celebrating Ashford's identity.
Having wanted to collaborate with Barras for some time, this project provided the perfect opportunity. The brief was to create a mural that celebrates Ashford's energy, movement and connections, while responding to ideas gathered through community engagement.
