Welcome to Heather who joined for their first goodgym session on a balmy September evening!
After a pleasant jog from Life Leisure Avondale, we arrived at Grit Studios with Sophie already trying to scrape away some of the paint from the wall in preparation for their event on Sunday. With Heather kitted out in protective attire, think a mixture of Ghostbusters and Orange is the New Black (alas there were no photos), we set to work... at least we tried to but the outdoor masonry paint looked more like cottage cheese or very thick hummus and was unusable.
But fear not, we were put to work instead to prepare the wooden back boards for the Street Art paint jam at the weekend. With rollers and endless paint, we managed to whitewash ALL of their wooden boards ready for the weekend, all before it got too dark.
We finished off by taking the painted boards inside for safe keeping, with some tricky manoeuvres to get them around corners.
Thank you to Sophie for the task and good luck for the Paint Jam on Sunday!
