• Graffiti and Shoe Painting

- When you’re just starting out in graffiti, it’s hard to know where to start. What tools do you use? What makes a good tag? What makes a good piece? What’s a throwie? To jump start your progress, we’ve put together a 8-week course called How to Draw Graffiti that takes you all the way from beginner to having a solid foundation of lettering, and a good understanding of how to draw graffiti that looks good. How do we scale down your design and develop it into a wearable tag? Deconstruct your drawing and develop a design for a shoe or garment. Finally paint your design into a wearable final project.
