Today Brave Arts ran our workshop, inspiring the next generation with some of the brilliant lot from The Art Group (Chelmer Gate Youth Centre) organised by Original Creative Work - thank you to everyone involved and to the amazing Chelmsford Market for their support and the opportunity to use the space as the canvas! Make sure you head down to check out the end result!
There's no question that we have some incredible local artists and creatives here in Chelmsford! We're lucky to have a number of them involved with our first Street Art Festival, Concrete Canvas

We'll soon be letting them loose on a number of bollards and OpenReach boxes across the city centre and we can't wait to see the designs they conjure up!

We have filled another workshop! So, we are going again! This really is the last time we will be opening up bookings. Once these spaces are gone, they’re gone! Of course we are limiting number this year so let me know ASAP on 07757 173415 if you’d like to book your place on our 4-6 pm slot on the 28th November at

The covid19 bit:
The workshop will take place in our large hall. You will need to bring a mask in order to enter the centre. A staff member will see you in. The workshop will be socially distanced throughout the whole session - even if you’re with a friend or family member. This is because it’s a workshop and not a social gathering.

Can’t believe we’re approaching that time of year already but if you’re a Christmas fanatic like me, or want to try something creative - book onto this wreath-making class to learn a new skill:

REPOST • Original Creative Work Overwhelmed by the response to our wreath making classes this year we have filled our Chelmsford class on 28th November. Thank you so much for your support, it’s so lovely to have so many returning customers 😊

We are delighted to add a new date on Saturday 5th December 7-9pm. If anyone would be interested in booking on this new date please get in touch ASAP 07757 173415.

We had a fun day in Tindal Square celebrating Heritage Open Days. We made Roman inspired bookmarks and a huge mosaic. The word Caesaromagus is the name for the original roman settlement on which Chelmsford was built and means Caesar’s marketplace.

Thanks so much to for asking us to be there today and to my fellow Romans and for all@the laughs. It’s always a pleasure working with you guys.

Extremely proud to be painting another mural in Chelmsford as part of concrete canvas. I would say there are very few things that give me as much joy as decorating my home city’s streets. I hope you will all love my CCTV base which will be in Bond Street and will feature themes from our purple flag status.
