Graffiti & Street Art Workshop with Master Kosh

A hands-on introduction to graffiti as a visual language and technical practice

This practical workshop introduces young people and adults to the tools, techniques and creative processes of graffiti and street art, guided by experienced artist Master Kosh.

Participants will learn the basics of graffiti lettering, line, colour, composition and spray control, and will be supported to experiment with these techniques through guided exercises and their own creative pieces. Alongside the practical work, the session also introduces the cultural roots of graffiti and its role as a form of communication, identity and expression in different communities.

The workshop is designed as a supported learning environment, where participants can try new techniques, make mistakes, ask questions and develop confidence through practice.
