Street Art - Intro Class (8-14)
Sarah Gillings MA AKA S.o.S
A summary
❌Update!! Saturday’s class is cancelled due to low uptake sorry for any inconvenience caused
You will create spray-paint artwork that you can be proud of. Street art is now part of the UK curriculum, but opportunities to work with authentic, artist-grade pressurised spray paints are rare. In this course, you will have access to a wide range of professional stencils and eco-friendly, health-conscious paints.
This is an award-winning, inclusive teaching format developed by the course mentor to ensure that participants of all abilities can produce artwork of a high aesthetic standard while enjoying full creative freedom.

Following essential health and safety training, you will be guided through foundational spray-can control techniques, progressing toward advanced layering, stencil work, and fully realised finished pieces. As skills develop, students may explore larger-scale applications, including mural concepts, furniture upcycling, and collaborative projects (Intermediate & Advanced levels).
This class structure has already been successfully delivered in primary and secondary school settings.
Introductory Class
The Intro Class is a stand-alone, entry-level experience designed to spark creativity and build confidence. You will create an artwork on an item such as a T-shirt, 12” vinyl record, or canvas to take home. Even first-time participants achieve strong visual results, as the sessions are carefully designed to balance high-quality outcomes with creative independence.

Session Information
• Each session lasts 1.5 hours
• Please arrive 15 minutes before the start time for registration and housekeeping
• Late arrivals cannot be admitted
For health and safety reasons, the building doors are locked 5 minutes before the session begins. The studio is located on the second floor, and it is not possible to interrupt the class to allow late entry. Important safety instruction takes place at the start of each session, and late entry would disrupt both learning and group safety.
Please do not call if you are running late, as the tutor will be teaching. Depending on circumstances, a reschedule may be considered, but this cannot be guaranteed.

About your mentor

Sarah Gillings MA AKA S.o.S
I'm an award-winning Street Artist and Inclusive Arts, Practitioner. I love working with young people in order to free their creative potential. I have worked with over 700 young people to date, and pride myself in creating a safe, inspiring and most of all FUN environment for young people to flourish and grow. I was recently awarded a Points of Light recognition from The Prime Minister for my charitable work and my specially designed spraypainting workshops. You now have the opportunity to take part in my classes which I've decided to roll out in the area due to popular demand. I have a First Class Masters in Inclusive Arts and am specially trained and very experienced working with people who have special needs and disabilities too. I have extensive experience in working with hard to reach and marginalised teenagers, therefore my spraypainting experiences are especially engaging- no matter what issues a young person may have. My public mural commissions and collaborative arts projects can be seen in Brighton, Hastings & Bognor Regis. https://www.pointsoflight.gov.uk/u-can-spray/ I also offer Bronze & Silver Arts Awards including working with young people with special needs and disabilities.
