Does my child need to be good at drawing to join?

Absolutely! No artistic experience is needed to join our sessions. We start with the absolute basics, like how to hold a spray can and control the pressure. Our professional graffiti artists are there to guide every student step-by-step. It is all about building confidence and having a great time while learning a new skill. By the end of the first session, they will be amazed at what they can create!

Is the paint safe for kids and teenagers?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. We use low-pressure spray paint which is easier to control and much safer for beginners. All workshops are supervised by experienced pros who ensure everyone follows safety protocols while having fun. We make sure the environment is controlled, creative, and completely secure for all participants.

What should students wear to the workshop?

Ideally, they should wear comfortable old clothes and closed shoes like sneakers. Even though we provide protective overalls, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy, and paint has a way of finding gaps! It is best to wear things you do not mind getting a little 'artistic' on. We provide everything else, including the paint, caps, masks, and the canvases or surfaces we will be working on.

How long does a typical session last?

Our after-school workshops in East London typically run for about 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history lesson on street art, a safety demo, sketching out ideas, and then getting stuck into the actual painting. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where students stay fully engaged and have enough time to finish a piece they are proud of without feeling rushed.

Where do the after-school workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshops at your school premises if there is a suitable outdoor wall or ventilated area. Alternatively, we have access to various creative hubs and 'legal walls' around East London where we can get messy without any worries. Just let us know what works best for your group, and we will make the magic happen at a location that suits you.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is super easy and transparent. You do not need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. Simply fill out our contact form or use our price calculator to get a custom quote, and we will handle the rest!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school programme? It is more than just spray painting; it is about building a community and discovering hidden talents in an urban setting. 🔥

Boosts Confidence: Seeing a massive piece of art you created from scratch is an incredible ego-boost for any student.
Safe Outlet: We provide a legal, structured environment for students to express themselves without the risks of illegal "bombing." 🚫
Skill Building: From fine motor skills to large-scale spatial awareness, graffiti teaches valuable artistic techniques.
No Stress Booking: With our backup artists and no upfront payment, organisers can breathe easy knowing the event will go on.
Authentic Experience: Learn from real street artists who live and breathe the culture, not just art teachers with a textbook.
Interactive Tools: Use our Tag Creator or take our Workshop Quiz to get students hyped before the session even starts! 🎤

Step by step

Introduction & Safety: We start with a warm welcome and a quick safety briefing. Everyone gets geared up with masks and gloves.
The Basics of Cans: Students learn about different nozzles (caps) and how to control the spray flow and line thickness.
Sketching the Vision: Before hitting the wall, we spend time on paper or cardboard to plan out the tags and "throw-ups."
Tagging Technique: We practice the classic "tag" – the foundation of all graffiti – focusing on flow and style.
Outline & Fill: This is where the magic happens! We move to the main piece, learning how to fill in large areas evenly.
Adding Effects: Our artists show the group how to add shadows, 3D effects, and those "pop" highlights.
The Final Outline: We go back over the edges to make the artwork crisp and professional-looking.
Group Photos: Once the masterpiece is done, we take epic photos of the crew with their creation!
Clean Up & Wrap: We pack up the gear and leave the space tidy, leaving only the awesome art behind.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours per session, depending on the group size.
Group Sizes: We cater to small groups of 5 up to large school grades of 50+.
Inclusions: All spray paint, caps, safety gear (masks/gloves), and canvases or wall access are included.
Safety: We use high-quality, low-pressure paint and professional-grade respirators.
Instructors: Every session is led by a vetted, professional graffiti artist with a passion for teaching.

Local culture

East London has a unique, laid-back coastal rhythm, but underneath that calm exterior is a growing urban art scene waiting to explode. From the industrial vibes near the harbour to the creative energy of spaces in Berea and Nahoon, street art is starting to find its voice in our city. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging students to draw inspiration from the Indian Ocean views and the diverse cultures of the Eastern Cape. 🌊

Fun Fact: Did you know that East London is home to some of the most vibrant community murals in the province? Street art here often tells the story of our local heroes and coastal heritage, making it the perfect place to start your own artistic journey! 🇿🇦
