SFRM Workshops
Spring Fling Rural Mural is back. Recoat is pairing up with Upland to deliver more murals in D&G, but this time the project is taking Upland artists back to paint murals with their partners in their home cities. More info soon!
As part of the 2016 project we are holding two free spraypainting and mural mapping workshops in Dumfries on the 5th of March. Ali from Recoat is pairing up with Jamie Johnson from Harvest Skateboarding to deliver a workshop where you will learn more about the SFRM project, learn some mural painting skills and help develop ideas for the murals that will be painted around the region. Tickets are available for the morning and afternoon.

Elliot Tupac x Recoat x Syrkus
In May 2015 Elliot Tupac, a world famous Peruvian artist travelled to the UK to take part in various mural projects and exhibitions. While in Glasgow he exhibited a beautiful exhibition at South Block and collaborated with us on a mural at a local school in Springburn. Elliot's text translates as 'Education with no boundaries- Working Together' and Syrkus painted a series of women from different cultures carrying objects to create a simple meal together. The mural celebrates the multi-cultural community that makes up the school and how hard everyone is working there to make it a success.
We're really proud of this project and how the mural worked as a whole. See all the photos here.
FiST x Recoat- Old Wynd Mural
In May 2015 we were commissioned by Glasgow City Council Regeneration Department to create a mural on the wall of McDonald's Bakery on Old Wynd just off Trongate in Glasgow.
We selected and collaborated with the hugely talented FiST on this large scale mural. We tried to create 'another world', something transformative and dreamy.
You can view all of the photos from the project here.

The mural we painted at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Was such an honour to do this commission.

Askew- City Centre
.jpg)
Askew was our final artist. He travelled from New Zealand to paint a 6 storey building at the Townhead Campus of the City of Glasgow College at 230 Cathedral Street in the city centre. We partnered with the college for this part of the project, they gave us the site and funding aswell as some very talented students who helped us throughout.
Askew's painting is of a close friend, Leilani Momoisea, a NZ journalist, model and blogger (www.lanisays.com) of Western Samoan, Scottish, Irish and English descent. She is the epitome of what it is to be born and living in current New Zealand, from a generation of migratory NZ ancestry from both the UK and Polynesia. He painted the mural in layers of colour, the last being in white spraypaint. The effect is incredible and the mural very striking.
In Common was a Festival 2014 project to
celebrate the Commonwealth Games coming to Glasgow. 5 murals were painted on
the theme of 'Identity' across the city in July 2014. Here is a map to find all of the sites.
This was a huge wall, without the help of Recoat and college volunteers we could not have pulled it off. Thankyou to all of you!
Thankyou to the City of Glasgow College for accommodating and sponsoring In Common and all their staff who helped and supported us. A special thankyou to Eddie, John and Willie. The Paint Shed gave us vibrant, quality paint, again thankyou!

Best|Ever- Barras- East
Best|Ever were our English reps on In Common, a duo of talented artists recently arrived back from a project in The Gambia. They painted a wall next to Moncur Street in the Barras. Their trip north of the border was fraught with problems but they battled through to create an amazing mural depicting an imposing female made of abstracted colours and photo-real features as a symbol of hope and change for the Barras and the East of Glasgow.

Elph- Maryhill- North
We were delighted to select Elph as our Scottish representative for our In Common project. We've worked with him for many years and rate him very highly. He painted a distinctive, colourful piece at 1148 Maryhill Road. He visited the area and worked with children at East Park School. He incorporated many of their ideas, suggestions from local residents and Maryhill buildings and landmarks into his playful mural.
