ABOUT GRAFT

Graft was founded in 2012 by husband and wife team Rob and Sophie Wheeler. After several years working as teachers, they decided to turn their love of graffiti and street art into a business. 

Graft is a small team of mural artists founded on the principles of education, engagement, craft, and, above all, sharing – sharing our passion, knowledge and skills, and sharing in other people’s stories and expertise.
 

All of our workshops are led by professional artists and qualified teachers. We tailor-make our workshop packages to suit each client and offer an authentic, in-depth experience of Bristol graffiti and street art. All our staff hold up-to-date Enhanced DBS clearance and public liability insurance.

Rob Wheeler

Co-Founder and Lead Artist

Rob grew up in Bristol. Inspired by the growing graffiti scene on both sides of the pond, he picked up a spraycan and started to play. More than 20 years on, he is a skilled mural artist with a passion for teaching and sharing the craft. Rob’s work is inspired by William Morris’s belief that art and beauty should be accessible to all.
