A recent installation took place at a primary school based in Wiltshire. The school wanted to transform a long narrow play area into an outdoor educational zone. Using a base of green wet pour, graphics were incorporated using brown rubber wet pour. The school chose to have letters representing the alphabet from A – Z as well as numbers from 1 – 20. The numbers and letters were designed in a weaving pattern covering the length of the play area in between wooden support structures. The colours used complemented the artificial grass and other wooden features within the playground.
