FAIRBRIDGE KENNINGTON ART PROJECT, by s-editions on Jul 25, 2008 19:01:34 GMT 1, We thought you might be interested in these pictures of an art project RYCA and s-editions have been involved in in South London for the last couple of days. Fairbridge Kennington asked us to come along and teach some street art techniques to the young people they help. After a trip to the Tate Modern and along the South Bank, the last couple of days have been spent working on free painting, stencils and paste-ups inside the centre. All the ideas were the young people's, and they cut all the stencils themselves - and we think they are great. It's funny how they came up with the idea of using rats - with absolutely no prior knowledge of street art and no prompting from us!

A print based on the images the young people developed will be released soon to raise money for the charity. The charity's website is at www.fairbridge.org.uk/london/.

I did a similar project last year where I worked with kids from a 'problem' estate to do a piece of work on a huge wall where the kids would hang out and tag. Problem was I wasn't allowed to use markers, stencils, spray paint, in fact anything that could be linked to 'graffiti' to create it.

Looks like Fairbridge is a bit more tuned in.

Brilliant story! How did you solve the problem??

The people at Fairbridge were great fun to work with. It would not surprise us at all if there was an outbreak of rodents in Kennington and Brixton - although we went to great lengths to impress on the young people that they should always ask for permission before doing any street work. They have enough worries without us getting them arrested!

Do reckon they'll take that advice?

In the end we made a 'mural' exploring the their environment in a cartoon style. We also had to make sure it was fire retardant and couldn't be tagged. Had to cover it in graffiti proof paint (which works really well). What a bloody nightmare that was, and cost a fortune

FAIRBRIDGE KENNINGTON ART PROJECT, by Agent Provocateur on Jul 25, 2008 20:08:51 GMT 1, Quality ;D I love the eagle with the two rats hanging from it... I live just south of Kennington, if the stencils still around could I get one on a bit of card/wood/paper/anything? Feel free to PM the price. I'm fine to meet up with the artist to collect.

Cool. ;D

Absolutely delighted that you like it! All the young people worked really hard and it's great to be able to pass on positive feedback to them.

As it happens, the eagle with the rats hanging from it is the image we chose for the fund raising screen print. It will be in an edition of 33, at £100 each. Please email sales@s-editions.co.uk if you would like to place a pre-order and we will allocate the lowest available number to you.

All the best,
All @ s-editions
