Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our professional instructors are trained to supervise students closely, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and responsibly at all times. We create a controlled environment where kids can be creative without any risks.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our after-school program is designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our instructors walk the students through the basics, starting with simple lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before they join us, and they are always amazed at what they can create by the end of the session.

What should the students wear to the workshop?

We recommend that students wear comfortable clothes and shoes that they don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full protective gear, including suits and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy. It’s best to leave the brand-new sneakers at home just in case! We provide everything else, including the paint, caps, and safety equipment.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard after-school workshops typically run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a final masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit specific school schedules or holiday program requirements if needed. Just let us know what works best for your group's timetable!

What is the ideal group size for an after-school session?

We usually work with groups of 10 to 30 students per instructor to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and guidance. If you have a larger cohort, no worries at all—we can bring in additional artists and split the group into smaller squads. This ensures that every child stays engaged and gets the help they need to master their 'tag' and 'piece'.

Can the kids take their artwork home with them?

Yes, definitely! One of the best parts of our Melbourne workshops is that each student gets to work on their own individual canvas or board. This means once the paint has dried, they get to take their unique piece of street art home to hang on their bedroom wall. It's a fantastic memento of their creative experience and something they can be truly proud of.

How do we book a session for our school or group?

Booking is easy! You can use our online cost calculator for an instant estimate, or simply send us a message through our contact form. Because we have a team of backup artists available, we are very flexible with dates. No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school program? It’s not just about painting walls; it’s about building a unique set of skills in a city that lives and breathes art. 🎨

Professional mentors: Our artists aren't just teachers; they are active members of the Melbourne street art scene.

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of Melbourne's street art and a vital rundown on how to use our safety gear properly. 🎨
Learning the tools: Students get a hands-on introduction to different spray caps (nozzles) and learn how they change the thickness and texture of the paint.
Sketching the design: Before we touch the cans, we hit the paper! Kids plan out their 'tag' or 'throw-up' to get their creative juices flowing. ✨
Mastering the lines: It’s time to paint! We start with basic exercises on practice boards to teach students how to control pressure and distance.
Filling and fading: Our artists demonstrate how to fill in large areas smoothly and how to create those iconic graffiti gradients and fades.
The 'Final Piece' begins: Every student moves to their own canvas to start their main project, applying everything they've learned so far. 🏆
Adding details and outlines: This is where the art pops! We teach the kids how to add sharp outlines and highlights to make their work look professional.
Group photo and cleanup: Once the masterpieces are finished, we snap some photos of the crew and their work before packing up the gear.
Taking it home: The best part—students take their personal canvases home to show off their new skills to family and friends! 🎉

Local culture

Melbourne is the undisputed street art capital of Australia, and maybe even the world! From the iconic, ever-changing walls of Hosier Lane to the hidden gems in Fitzroy and Brunswick, our city breathes creativity. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, teaching students that street art is about more than just paint—it's about community and storytelling. We often draw inspiration from the massive murals found in ACDC Lane or the stencil art of Collingwood to show kids what's possible. 🔥

Fun Fact: Did you know that Melbourne's laneway art culture is so famous that even legendary international artists like Banksy have traveled here to leave their mark? Our workshops give kids a chance to join that famous creative lineage! 🇦🇺
