The city of Waterford, Ireland is known for its artistic tradition involving making glassware. Less known is the recent trend to decorate walls with artistic visions. In one street, murals reflect traditional jobs. Waterford attempts to combine the respect for the old with modern street art. It definitely adds a splash of color to your walk through town. Additionally, the murals demonstrate “what we have lost”, as arts and crafts have vanished in favor of mass-produced industrial items. But they may be on their way back, facilitated by local initiatives to keep old techniques alive. And local artists leave their mark on the modern city with large colorful depictions, for example of a heron.
