Koloron and the longest visitors book ever


Brian from Brighton asked about using Koloron Art Fabric as a tablecloth to help celebrate a school's special dinner. We were able to tell him that a street party used the same idea for a Millennium bash, we never actually saw it but the description was exciting. Everybody writing down their take on the day.

What we can say we saw, however, was the idea of using Koloron as a visitor's book. The UK launch of Koloron at the British Museum in April 2000. Across the steps of the main entrance we set up a giant roll of Koloron and rolled it out across a run of trestle tables. Everybody who visited the event was given marker pens to record their presence at The Big Draw.

As the length across the table became full of markings, drawings and comments we pulled more out and rolled up the artwork at the other end. We believe we created the longest visitors book ever. We had over 143 metres filled with hundreds of records of the day.

Hope you have a great event Brian but it's going to have to be a major event if you are going to beat our record. 143 metres is long.
