Choosing a graffiti workshop for your youth project in Edinburgh isn't just about painting walls; it's about building bridges and confidence. Here is why our sessions are a hit with young people and organisers alike:

  • Total Inclusivity: You don't need to be an "artist" to succeed—graffiti is for everyone, regardless of their background or ability. 🤝
  • Instant Gratification: Unlike many art forms, spray paint allows for big, bold results in a very short time, which is incredibly rewarding for teens. ⚡
  • Pro Mentorship: Our artists are real-world professionals who share their passion and journey, acting as positive role models. 🎤
  • Teamwork in Action: Creating a large mural requires communication, planning, and cooperation—essential life skills disguised as fun! 🏗️
  • Safe Expression: We provide a legitimate, legal outlet for creative energy, teaching the difference between vandalism and street art. 🛡️
  • Stress Relief: There is something therapeutic about the "hiss" of the can and the flow of the paint—it's a great way to decompress. ✨

Krok za krokem

  1. Intro & Inspiring Stories: We kick things off with a high-energy introduction to the world of street art, sharing the history and culture behind graffiti. ✨
  2. Safety First: Everyone gets geared up with masks, gloves, and overalls. We explain how to use the equipment responsibly and safely.
  3. The Masterclass: Our pro artists demonstrate fundamental techniques, from 'tagging' and 'throwing up' to creating cool 3D effects and fades. 🎨
  4. Sketching the Vision: The group works together to brainstorm themes and sketch out their ideas on paper before hitting the 'wall'. 📝
  5. Practical Practice: Participants start on their own practice boards to get a feel for the pressure of the spray can and nozzle control. 💪
  6. The Big Creation: This is the main event! The group collaborates on a large-scale mural or individual masterpieces that bring their vision to life. 🏆
  7. Detailing & Outlining: We teach the tricks of the trade to make the artwork pop, adding sharp outlines and those all-important highlights.
  8. The Reveal & Photos: We step back to admire the finished work. It’s the perfect time for a group photo with your new urban masterpiece! 📸
  9. Clean Up & Wrap Up: We pack up the gear, leaving the site tidy while the young artists take home their newfound skills and pride.

Místní kultura

Streetart ve městě Edinburgh

Edinburgh is world-famous for its festivals and history, but its urban art scene is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. From the legal walls at Saughton Park to the changing murals in the Cowgate, the city is a canvas of Northern expression. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, drawing inspiration from the gritty charm of the city’s wynds and the vibrant energy of the Fringe. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Leith was once named the "coolest neighbourhood in the UK" partly due to its thriving street art scene and creative community spirit? It’s the perfect backdrop for a youth project! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We love connecting with Edinburgh’s youth. Whether we’re discussing the aesthetics of the Union Canal or the contrast between the New Town’s structure and the freedom of graffiti, our sessions are always rooted in the local culture that makes this city so unique.

Ceny

We strive to make our youth projects as accessible as possible for community organisations and charities across Edinburgh.

Workshops from £25 – £55 per person

Prices vary based on group size, location, and the specific goals of your project. We offer tiered pricing to ensure even smaller community groups can get involved.

Good to know: No upfront payment is required! We believe in the quality of our Edinburgh workshops so much that you only pay once the session is successfully completed. 💰
