TWO Winchester graffiti artists gave youngsters in the city a hands-on lesson in street art at a special workshop at the Tower Arts Centre.

The lessons had been staged to coincide with half-term and gave the children a fascinating insight into the world of artistic graffiti.

Under the tutelage of Kezia Hoffman and Uriah Osborne, the youngsters were shown how to use spray paints and to design their work, before being given a huge piece of cardboard on which to realise their ideas.

A spokesman for the centre said the day had been a huge success, and the youngsters were particularly delighted to be able to take their artwork home with them.
