How long does a typical after-school graffiti session last?

Our Canberra after-school workshops usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the kids enough time to learn the basic strokes, practice their 'tag' or 'throw-up' on a practice wall, and then complete a final masterpiece on their individual canvas or a collective mural. We find this timeframe is the sweet spot for keeping high energy without anyone getting too tired to press the nozzle!

Is it safe for kids to use spray paint?

Definitely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos to keep clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces. Plus, our professional instructors are trained to supervise the kids closely, ensuring the spray cans are used responsibly and everyone stays safe while having a blast.

Does my child need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Whether your child is already a doodler or has never picked up a creative tool in their life, our Canberra artists will guide them through every step. We start with the absolute basics of how to hold the can and control the pressure, making sure everyone feels confident before they start their big project.

What should the kids wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing 'old clothes' that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, graffiti can be a messy business, and sometimes a stray spray find its way onto a sleeve or a shoe. We always say it's better to be safe and wear your comfy 'painting clothes' so you can focus entirely on the art!

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all the premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps (nozzles), practice surfaces, final canvases or boards, masks, gloves, and ponchos. We can even bring portable graffiti walls to your location in Canberra. You just need to bring the energy and some drinking water—we handle the rest of the logistics from start to finish.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

We are very flexible! If the weather looks like it's going to turn sour (which can happen in the ACT!), we can either move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with adequate ventilation. If you don't have a backup spot, we can chat about rescheduling to another afternoon that suits the group. We always make sure the fun goes ahead safely.

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick off by meeting the crew and explaining how to use the gear safely, ensuring every student feels comfortable.
The artist's toolkit: Our pros show the kids the different types of 'caps' (nozzles) and how they change the spray width and texture.
First lines and 'fades': We head to the practice wall to learn basic techniques like outlines, filling, and creating cool colour gradients.
Sketching the vision: Students grab paper and markers to plan their design, thinking about letters, characters, and background elements.
The 'outline' phase: Time to hit the canvas! Students use their skills to sketch their main design with a light touch of the spray can.
Filling and 'pop': This is where the magic happens as we fill in the colours and add sharp outlines to make the artwork really stand out.
Final details and highlights: We teach the kids how to add those professional 'shines' and 'dropshadows' that make graffiti look 3D and dynamic.
The exhibition: To wrap up, we line up all the finished pieces for a group photo and a mini 'gallery' viewing of everyone's hard work.

Local culture

Canberra might be the 'Bush Capital', but its street art scene is absolutely humming! From the iconic legal walls in Tuggeranong to the hidden murals tucked away in Braddon, the city is a canvas for world-class talent. Our workshops tap into this local vibe, teaching students about Canberra's unique place in the Australian art world.

Fun Fact: Did you know Canberra has several "Free Walls" where street artists can legally paint? The Woden drains and the Narrabundah walls are legendary spots where the local community keeps the culture alive and evolving! 🇦🇺
