Ferry, who worked with users of Silver Friends, a social group run by Karbon Homes, to create the Purple Dragon artwork, said he “jumped at the chance” to be involved.
“Working with the Silver Friends group to create a concept that reflects their Stanley has been really fun,” he said.
“And getting to paint on shutters in my home town high street is really special. It’s been a really fulfilling project and I’m very proud of what has been achieved.”
Eduard Sacrest, originally from Spain but now living in London, worked with year five pupils from St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School to workshop ideas for the shutters on Karbon Homes’ Skills Hub and the adjoining NEFirst Credit Union.
Lewis Hobson created an artwork for PACT House, while Jordan Stead transformed the shutters of Enter Retro and Mayfair Carpets.
