London Street Artists Offer Free Workshops At Covent Garden
In recent years the number of street artists has been increasing throughout London. The city is renowned for its street art and it is no surprise that more artists are flocking to the capital.
In light of this, the street art platform at Covent Garden has decided to offer a series of free workshops throughout the summer. These are part of a wider initiative to make street art more accessible to all people.
The workshops will be running from May 30th until August 30th, 3 times per week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. They will be held in the garden area on Neal’s Yard. Each workshop will last approximately one hour but can be adjusted according to participants’ needs and skill level.
A variety of art tools including spray paint and stencils will be available for anyone who wishes to attend. The only thing required is an artistic interest and commitment to learning new skills! A professional artist will also be present during each session so they can teach attendees how best use them properly.
The workshops were launched on Wednesday 12th April with special guest appearances by UK grime artist, Lethal Bizzle and X-Factor winner Louisa Johnson! Representatives from Covent Garden said “We’re excited

In August we have had a number of street artists who have been exhibiting and selling their artwork at Covent Garden Piazza.
The London Street Art Platform is a unique opportunity to meet, chat and learn from the artists themselves. Over the summer we have had over 30 artists taking part in this programme, offering workshops and demonstrations to visitors of all ages. The biggest draw for the public was the opportunity to ‘have a go’ at creating artwork and participating in these activities for free.
Each artist has a different approach to their work; some are traditionalists and others are more experimental. This has resulted in a diverse range of styles present in the artworks that were created by the public, with each session having its own distinct theme.
The materials used by the public ranged from paint, pencils, pens and clay, which were provided for by the artists. In addition to these were more unusual items including fairy lights, metal wire and even salt dough!
Many participants were inspired by what they saw around them; the history of Covent Garden as well as the buildings and people passing by, making it an exciting creative environment.
