Graffiti workshop. Newton Park, with NUC, Andrea Gibson and Re-Ink-Our-Nation

Early in the year, Andrea Gibson had met with me to discuss the possibility of doing workshops in the Cairnshill, Newton Park, Four Winds area, where a number of youth had been identified as ‘Taggers’. It was our hope that through this project we would teach the young people new artistic skills, and give them the opportunity to work with a professional artist. The project had dual purpose in hoping to lower anti-social behaviour and teach new arts skills.  Tim, the workshop leader from Re-Ink-our-Nation showed great skills in demonstrating the process to the young people.  The (almost) finished boards will now live in the youth club in Newton Park.
