Street art workshop with Houl

Workshops with Houl

Over 90 minutes Houl will teach you how to make and install your own paste-ups and stickers, both a simple but understated form of street art. The hands-on class is suitable for artists of all abilities, it will include discussions of the history of the medium and key artists. Houl, who has 15 years experience in streetart, will guide your with advice on your designs while you draw, cut and paste your creations, which at the end of the day you'll be able to take home.

Houl cut his teeth as an artist in the mid-2000’s Sydney Street Art Scene, covering signs with stickers, construction cladding with paste, and blank brick with aerosol.

A move to Canberra afforded him the opportunity to develop his bold characters and distinct style, painting larger aerosol murals while also exploring the interaction of artist and audience in the form of an ongoing series of treasure hunt style artworks, where small cardboard or corflute pieces are left outside for others to hunt down and claim as their own, bringing the outside to the inside, and making art just a little more personal.

Note: Our photographer will take photos and videos of the event, these will be used to promote The Creative Element in the future. Please let the photographer know on the day if you do not wish to be photographed or videoed.
