I was painting in York a few Saturdays ago - spraying a mural in Coppergate shopping centre and asking members of the public to have a go. We had just over 30 young people take part and plenty of Grannys bigging us up! There were also some freerunners from London doing big flips over people, and hanging horizontally from lamposts, see 'workshops' for pics!
