Make Your Mark ✂️🎨✨
Our Make Your Mark course kicked off last Saturday with Lewes young people exploring fashion, identity and design — from mood boards to wearable ideas — using the Cricut 💡👕🖤

This is about turning ideas into real things: graphics, garments, statements 💥
And we’re only just getting started 🚀

Free course · Lewes young people · creativity without limits 🌈

About us: U CAN Spray CIO is a leader in developing inclusive creative education programmes, particularly for neurodivergent young people and those not currently in employment, education or training — for whatever reason 🤍

With thanks to Chalk Cliff Trust for supporting and helping fund us to develop this programme 🙏✨

✨ Women who have never held a spray can… this is for you.
This Saturday, we still have space
for women who want to try real spray painting for the first time —
in a safe, welcoming, skill-building studio.

Here’s what our first group learned (in just one session):

🎨 How to fill smooth block colour (not patchy, not drippy — proper clean finish)
✂️ How to cut and design stencils — even if you’ve never drawn before
🌀 How pressure, posture and movement affect your spray finish
📏 How layering, masking and alignment work (the secret to mural-making)

And the best feedback?

“I honestly didn’t think I could do this.”
“That felt SO good!”
“Can we come back next week?”

The studio is now beginning to feel like the vision —
a shared space where locals can experiment, build skills,
and grow creatively without pressure to ‘get it right’.

🌈 No experience needed
👩🏼👩🏾👵🏻 Teens, mums, grandmothers — all welcome
💛 Just curiosity, community, and a willingness to try

💗 “Spray It Forward” — Women’s Launch

We’re starting with women first — because representation matters.
Women make up over 70% of art graduates, yet less than 13% of street artists working publicly worldwide.

This Spray It Forward launch by U CAN Spray, the UK’s first street art charity based right here in Lewes, is about confidence, creativity, and community — giving women a safe space to pick up a can and make their mark.

We’re the team behind the Phoenix Underpass mural, as seen on ITV News, and we’re continuing to make our mark in Lewes — one wall, one artist, one spray at a time.

💬 Interested? Comment below!
We’re offering two free Spray It Forward sessions to help get our new creative space ready:
🎨 Saturday 22nd November 12-4pm
🎨 Saturday 29th November 12-4pm

You’ll learn all the key skills to start your own spray-painting journey — from using cans and caps to masking, layering, and stencilling — in a relaxed, friendly space.

If you can make either date, send us a DM or email to confirm your spot — spaces are limited!

And yes — a version for dads, brothers, sons, and local men will follow soon too. 💪🎨

🌬️🎨 When you choose to paint outdoors… and Mother Nature chooses chaos.

The wind has been doing its best impression of an invisible graffiti artist—sending our spray in every possible direction except the wall. 😆

But you know us: U CAN Spray, and U CAN persevere. 💪

Manifesting less gale-force artistry next week so we can finally finish this beauty! 🙏✨
