Graffiti Classes @ Zap Graffiti

Zap Graffiti have managed to bridge the gap between art form and 'vandalism' by promoting graffiti as a positive art form. Those interested in graffiti can start with a beginners class for £20. Where they are given spray paint and a blank canvas to let their creativity run wild. For those who want to take it up as a hobby, Zap Graffiti welcome artists to use their wall space instead of graffitiing in the surrounding areas.

We provide sanctioned walls for folks of all ages to get creative. If after the class you wish to carry it on as a hobby, we have the space to do it.
