BBC BLAST

Hello, I've been looking round your website and thought you might be interested to hear about BBC Blast and our Stencil Graffiti workshop,

BBC Blast on Tour provides free workshops for young people aged 13 - 19, we have an upcoming event as part of the London Thames Festival at the South Bank Centre in London over the weekend of the 10th to 12th of September.

Blast on Tour takes its mobile media village to around 30 locations each year. With purpose-built digital workshop spaces and a performance area, young people can book into activitys led by BBC mentors and industry professionals, or drop in to taster sessions and Q&A's with celebrity talent.

We are raising awareness of Graffiti as a responsible, legitimate art form. Promoting its use on designated walls and in legal places. We have two Stencil Graffiti workshops which are on this Friday the 10th at 4-5pm then 5:15-6:15. Young people will get to learn the art of graffiti, work with a professional graffiti artists and learn to cut out their own stencils and get to spray their Blast inspired piece. We advocate graffiti as an artform and teach responsible practice of it.

I hoped you might be inetersted in including this workshop in an article in your news section of the website. We still have places left and young people can book through the website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/blast/208402

This is a great opportunity to get young people involved and for them to learn about the responsibility of graffiti art, your help would be grately appreciated.

Thanks,

BBC Blast - London Thames Festival
