Bradite hand-picked for orchard mural
Bradite One Can has been used to create an expressive mural at a Kent farm where a famous local tipple is produced.
Nightingale Cider, based in the heart of the Garden of England, uses locally-grown apples to brew an impressive range of drinks that can be found in pubs, bars and restaurants around the UK.
Company boss Sam Nightingale agreed to a suggestion from neighbour, graphic artist Anthony Burrill, to use the side of a barn for an unashamedly positive message. Burrill enlisted the help of Many Hands Studio, and together they transformed the austere rural building with the message ‘YES!OK!’ in a double layer of six foot letters, rendered in black and white using Bradite One Can.
“We chose One Can because of its durability and also because it is water-based. It was also appropriate in what is basically an industrial setting,” said Many Hands Studio’s Luke James.
“We had talked with Anthony for some time about creating a mural in the Kent countryside. The tranquil setting provides a unique backdrop and is a stark contrast to the vast majority of our murals which are painted in urban environments.”
The mural forms part of the annual transformation from barnyard to tap room as Nightingale opens to the public for selected weekends during the Summer. To celebrate the artwork, Nightingale has produced a limited-edition cider can design.
