Do the kids need any prior art experience?

No experience is needed at all! Our professional artists are expert teachers who specialize in helping beginners find their creative voice. Most of our students in Manta have never held a spray can before their first session. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, pressure control, and simple lines—before moving on to more complex designs. It's all about having fun and learning something new in a supportive environment.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 masks to ensure no one breathes in fumes, as well as protective gloves and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor areas. Furthermore, our instructors are experienced professionals who supervise the group closely at all times, ensuring that the spray cans are used responsibly and safely throughout the entire session.

What should my child wear to the after-school club?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. Even though we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! Since Manta can get quite warm, breathable clothing is a good idea. We provide everything else, including premium spray paint, caps, masks, and the canvases or surfaces we'll be decorating. Just bring your enthusiasm!

What is the minimum age for participants?

Our after-school workshops are generally designed for children aged 8 and up. At this age, they typically have the hand strength required to operate the spray can valves effectively. We can occasionally accommodate slightly younger children if they are particularly motivated, but we find that the 8-16 age range gets the most out of the technical and creative aspects of the street art experience.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard after-school sessions in Manta typically last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final masterpiece. We find this duration is perfect for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired. We can also arrange longer sessions or multi-day programmes if requested.

How much does the after-school programme cost?

Our pricing is flexible and depends on the number of participants, the duration of the programme, and the specific location in Manta. Because we want to provide the best value for your group, we provide custom quotes rather than a one-size-fits-all price. The best part? There is no upfront payment required—you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% happy with the experience!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school programme in Manta? It’s more than just painting on walls—it’s about developing a unique voice and learning a modern craft that resonates with today’s youth. Here’s why we’re a hit with schools and parents alike:

Confidence boost: Seeing a large-scale piece come to life gives students a massive sense of achievement. 💪
Total inclusivity: You don't need to be 'good at drawing' to be great at graffiti; it's a style for everyone. ✨
Authentic experience: Learn from real street artists who live and breathe the culture, not just art teachers reading from a book. 🎤
Zero risk: With our no-upfront-payment policy, you can book with total peace of mind. 🏆
Stress relief: Spraying paint is a fantastic physical and creative outlet for kids after a long day in the classroom. 🔥

Step by step

The safety huddle: We start every session with a quick briefing on how to use the equipment safely and how to look after our gear.
Introduction to tools: Kids learn about different 'caps' (nozzles) and how they change the width and texture of the spray.
First lines: Under the guidance of a pro artist, students spray their first lines and dots on practice boards to get a feel for the pressure.
Sketching the vision: We move to paper or tablets to sketch out ideas, focusing on letter structure and 'tags'.
Background techniques: Time to hit the main surface! We teach how to create 'fades' and 'stencils' to make the background pop.
Filling in: Students learn how to apply solid colours evenly inside their sketched outlines.
Cuts and outlines: This is where the magic happens—using sharp lines to make the graffiti jump off the wall.
The finishing touches: We add highlights, 'force fields', and little details to give the artwork that professional street art look.
Glow up and gallery: We finish by admiring the work, taking photos, and cleaning up the workspace together.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours per session, but we can adapt to your school's schedule.
Group sizes: We cater to everything from small groups of 5 to large school cohorts of 30+.
What's included: Premium low-pressure spray paint, protective masks, gloves, overalls, and high-quality canvases or boards.
Location: We are mobile! We can come to your school, a local community centre, or a pre-approved outdoor space in Manta.
Safety first: High-grade FFP2 masks are mandatory and provided for all participants.
Expert leads: Every workshop is run by a background-checked artist with years of experience in both street art and teaching.

Local culture

Manta is a city that breathes life through its coastal energy and rapidly evolving urban landscape. While it's famous for its tuna and beautiful beaches, the local art scene is growing faster than a high-speed 'throw-up'. Our workshops tap into this local 'Manabita' spirit, encouraging kids to draw inspiration from the ocean, the fishing boats, and the modern architecture of the city. We believe that by teaching street art correctly, we’re helping the next generation of Manta artists contribute positively to the city's visual culture. 🌊

Fun Fact: Did you know that the 'monigotes' (effigies) burnt during New Year's Eve in Ecuador are often painted with incredible detail? Street art techniques are actually a huge part of traditional Ecuadorian celebrations, making graffiti a natural fit for Manta's creative youth! 🎨
