“I was inspired to create a map for my mural as it is directly opposite the Railway Station and close to the town’s busy bus stops, so it is designed greet people arriving in the town."
“It will feature some of the town’s iconic landmarks and is just a few steps away from the Shop at the SJT, based in the Stephen Joseph Theatre.”
Shop at the SJT has recently enjoyed national coverage in a glossy magazine, will feature creations from its crafty collective, from glassware to candles and everything in between.
