Mural Magic Creates Buzz for Beaucroft College Students

Local, celebrated muralist, painter and designer Kizzi Bennett, of Kizzi B Creative is creating the stunning mural, working with 12 students from Wimborne’s Beaucroft College. The post-16 students, are working towards an Arts Award Accreditation.

With buzzing bees, bright flowers and nature imagery, Kizzi explained that the theme of the mural is community working together: “Bees are such team players. Our bees represent the students pollinating the wall with artwork. We’re creating artistic honeycomb-style cells to display the student designs as a key part of the mural.”

One of the participating students, aged sixteen said: “I keep exotic birds which have been my inspiration for my element of the mural.”

There will also be tigers, flowers and sunsets featuring in the designs.  

Laura Byford, Visual Arts Leader at Beaucroft College is delighted with the way the mural is taking shape. She said; “Our students are loving coming out of school to enjoy this opportunity to create and work with Kizzi on site. We are so proud of how hard they are working on their designs.”

The mural project is funded entirely by Wimborne BID who would like to thank the public for their patience while the underpass is closed off. 

Chair of Wimborne BID Fiona Harwood said: “We hope it will create a wonderful pathway between our main town car park and the town centre. It will take a couple of weeks to finish, and we can’t wait to unveil it.”
