For young people interested in graffiti, here is the opportunity to join for free arts workshop for 10 weeks. The workshop begins on 13th January. Focused at young people, the free workshop is being oraganised by the Sale Moor Community-Partnership. It is an idea sparked by Jamie Rennie, its manager who is a graffiti artist.
The artist, aged 44, belongs to Old Trafford and he had a difficult upbringing early. He began by painting illegally graffiti. He used the street art to vent his anger. He is now a political activist and fights consumerism. He was spotted when 16 and given work, realising his talent. After that, he was commissioned with work often and it inspired him to study design at Staffordshire University. He later took to glass-blowing and set up shop. After a couple of accidents, he left it to take up again street art and teaching youngsters with the Sale Moor Community Partnership. The free workshop is open to anyone interested in graffiti and for details phone to 0161 962 3636. Jamie Rennie’s work can be seen online as- jmedzynz.
