Woody was commissioned to bring her Colour In Club to Brighton a few moons ago.
Colour & Forage was a drawn hedgerow that appeared to be growing before your very eyes.
After colouring-in the artwork, people could also pick natural elements like apples and berries.

Let's go back in time, and space, to Brighton in 2015, where people came together and coloured in a 6 metre long graphic by Woody.
Woody’s Colour In Club brought its cosmos of uncluttered graphics and coloured pencils to Jubilee Library in the heart of Brighton.
Humans of all ages sat down together and collaborated on a super-sized artwork to celebrate World Mental Health Day and the launch of City Reads 2015.
