London, September 2010. HRH The Prince of Wales visited both students and teachers participating in Painting & Patronage UK Programme at the Start Garden Party that was held in the gardens of Clarence House, Marlborough House and Lancaster House in central London from 8 – 19 September 2010. Painting & Patronage was participating in the event in partnership with The Prince’s School of Traditional Arts. Anthony Bailey is the Chairman and Special Counsel of Painting & Patronage, and was formally presented to Prince of Wales during his visit to the workshop.
Over 1539 visitors came to the stand of The Prince’s School of Traditional Arts and over 282 people of all ages participated in the Painting & Patronage workshops. The lessons included learning how to make paints from natural resources, drawing shells, painting flowers and implementing geometric designs and patterns. The results achieved were remarkable and HRH The Prince of Wales seemed to enjoy the efforts made by all the team.
Start is HRH The Prince of Wales’s new initiative to help people across the UK lead more sustainable lives and show them how they can all ‘start’ living life differently.
Painting & Patronage was formally launched by HRH Prince Khalid Al-Faisal bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud in 1999 as a private royal initiative. It is considered to be one of the most prominent cultural and educational exchange initiatives between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the international community.
