******************************************************************************************************************************************************We always love to see a good project coming together! \u00a0Earlier this year, we supplied 800mm polystyrene spheres for Kingston upon Thames’ Christmas sculpture. \u00a0This 11.5m high Christmas feature designed by the Students of Kingston College and lead sponsors Berkeley Group. \u00a0The project was supported by Service Graphics and assisted by the team here at Graham Sweet Studios.<\/p>\n

We supplied the 800mm diameter polystyrene spheres which were used to dress the top of the structure. \u00a0Below are some photographs of the students at work in the earlier stages of the production of this structure.<\/p>\n

These working shots show the construction of the structure. \u00a0Our polystyrene balls were decorated with striking blue star shapes.<\/p>\n

…And here’s the finished piece! \u00a0The lights at the top of the tree look great at night! \u00a0It seems the structure was a prominent feature in the main shopping street, and a great display over the festive season!<\/p>\n

“The Rotree initiative has been for the last two years the focus for the Rotary Club of Kingston (all volunteers) to provide a platform for some 25 local charities to entertain and attract interest in and donations for their valuable work.<\/em><\/p>\n

Those charities range from children’s cancer and dementia units to days out for disadvantaged youngsters including with disabilities, as well as refugee and homeless organisations to volunteers and equipment to go to international war and natural disaster zones.<\/em><\/p>\n

Graham sweet along with the generosity of national companies and local residents and shoppers to Kingston have helped the Rotary Club of Kingston exceed the donations the Club dispenses year on year.”<\/em><\/p>\n
