The Parade

JEAN JULLIEN MURAL AT THE SCHOOL OF FOOD EXPANDS

Jean Jullien kindly agreed to expand his beautiful design for the Hackney School of Food

I was super happy to paint this around the external garden wall, creating a parade of characters marching toward the school entrance.

The mural was painted over the course of a sun-shiny week in June 2021.

The neighbourhood around Mandeville Sch and The Hackney School of Food were so supportive during the painting process. Every day I was greeted with smiles encouraging comments and positive feedback from folks who were so happy to see their street getting creative love. Seriously #happyvibes

HUGE THANKS to Hackney Council (depot opposite) who saw me soaked and gritted jet washing the wall down in prep for painting and stepped in to help.  #communityspirit

THANKS too to our assistant #teens Lily, Esme & Leo who made a great job of painting the bricks and helped get the job done on time! So great to meet you all.

I’m a happy chick indeed with a ‘hop in my step!
Love my job. Love my new tan. Love Hackney! #happiness

The Hackney School of Food is a collaboration between Chefs in Schools and the LEAP Federation
