“In a burst of colour and creativity, local muralists Mint + Mabel have recently completed a series of captivating artworks at Sladewood Academy in Stroud, bringing a fresh and vibrant atmosphere to the school.

Mint + Mabel, the dynamic artistic duo, Hattie and Erin, have left their mark on Sladewood Academy with three brand new murals, each telling a unique story and adding a touch of magic to the school walls.

Mint + Mabel said: “We hope our artwork ignites creativity and fosters artistic passion at Sladewood Academy”.

The artistry of Mint + Mabel becomes a testament to the school’s dedication to creating a visually appealing and nurturing space for learning.

The nature-inspired mural in the entrance waiting room area makes visitors feel comfortable as soon as they enter the building.

The calming landscape and smiling shooting star provide a nice warm welcome to the school.

Mint + Mabel’s recent mural installations at Sladewood Academy not only add aesthetic charm but also underscore the crucial role murals play in creating a positive and nurturing atmosphere within educational settings, leaving an enduring impression on children and catching the eye of prospective parents and students.

Sladewood Academy Headteacher, Katy Hanna, said: “Mint + Mabel did a fantastic job at bringing our ideas to life. They have captured the meanings of the pieces beautifully.

"The murals have given us at Sladewood an increased identity and character.

"These designs have really brought the school to life. I hold a number of tours around the school and everyone comments on how beautiful they are.

"The Mint + Mabel team were great to work with, excellent communication and professionalism throughout.

"They have brought their style to our vision wonderfully and I cannot thank them enough”.

Mint + Mabel are a creative duo, Erin and Hattie, who have been designing and hand painting their impressive mural artwork in schools across Gloucestershire.
