The Hackney Homes Youth Involvement Day kicked off at Urswick School to showcase opportunities available to young Hackney residents including sport activities, youth work training, education and employment.
I was invited down to run my ‘Graff Tees? Yes Please!’ workshop and impart some knowledge to inspire the young people looking to get into the creative industry…
Charlton School…I came…I saw young people get mad creative…I conquered in my own special way!
After completing artwork on a variety surface’s including t-shirts, caps, spray cans, and canvases, we wrapped up the 6 weeks with a final ‘Olympics’ inspired canvas designed entirely by the young people…which was random to say the least, but hey, they had fun and that’s what it’s all about…
It’s always a pleasure interacting with such diverse personalities and seeing individuals come out their shell and expose their artistic talent through their artwork…the best part though was the jokes, too many funny characters/moments to mention…jokes n creativeness is a healthy mix!…
