Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Absolutely! We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our professional instructors supervise every spray to ensure the cans are used correctly and safely. It is a controlled, creative environment where the only thing that gets 'damaged' is a blank canvas or a designated wall!

What is the minimum age for the workshop?

Our after-school programs are generally designed for kids aged 8 and up. At this age, they have the hand strength to operate the spray nozzles and the focus to follow safety instructions. We tailor our teaching style to the specific age group, ensuring the younger ones focus on shapes and fun, while older teens can dive into complex shading and letter structure.

What if my child isn't 'artistic' or can't draw?

The best part about graffiti is that there are no mistakes, only 'style'! Many of our most successful students have never picked up a paintbrush before. Our artists are experts at breaking down complex designs into simple shapes. We guide them step-by-step, ensuring every child walks away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. Confidence building is our specialty!

Do we need to bring our own art supplies?

We provide everything needed for a legendary session! This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the canvas or boards for the final masterpiece. You just need to make sure the kids show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit dusty – just in case!

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard after-school sessions typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, some practice time, and the creation of a final individual or group piece. We find this timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and creativity flowing without the kids getting tired.

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

Newcastle can be a bit 'fresh' sometimes! If we are scheduled for an outdoor session and the weather turns, we have several options. We can move to a sheltered outdoor area, or if we are using canvases, we can often move the workshop into a well-ventilated indoor space like a school hall or community centre. We always have a backup plan to ensure the fun doesn't stop.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school program? It’s more than just paint on a wall; it’s a way to engage students who might not thrive in traditional art classes. Here is why our Newcastle sessions are a hit: 🔥

Boosts Confidence: Seeing a giant, colourful piece of art they created themselves gives kids an incredible sense of achievement.
Hands-on Learning: We ditch the textbooks for a tactile, physical experience that keeps everyone focused and active. 💪
Safe Expression: We teach the difference between vandalism and street art, providing a legal and constructive outlet for self-expression.
Professional Guidance: Learn from real artists who live and breathe graffiti culture—no boring "school-style" lectures here! 🎤
Stress Relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the 'hiss' of a spray can and the flow of the paint. It’s the perfect end to a long school day.
Team Spirit: Our collaborative murals encourage students to work together, communicate, and solve problems as a crew. 🤝

Step by step

The safety huddle: We start every session with a quick briefing. Kids learn how to handle the cans, wear their masks correctly, and respect the 'spraying zone'.
Caps and controls: Students get to know their tools. We explain the difference between 'skinny' and 'fat' caps and how pressure changes the lines.
First lines: No pressure here! We start with simple exercises like dots, straight lines, and basic shapes on practice boards to build muscle memory.
Tag development: Every student chooses their 'writer name' and learns how to turn simple letters into a stylish tag—the DNA of all graffiti.
Sketching the masterpiece: We move on to 'pieces' (short for masterpieces). Students sketch their main concept using light colours before committing to the bold lines.
The fill-in: This is where the colour comes to life! We teach techniques for solid fills, fades, and 'bubbles' to make the art pop.
Outlining and highlights: The pros show them how to add sharp outlines and 'shines' (white highlights) to give their work a 3D effect.
The final reveal: We step back, let the paint dry, and admire the collective gallery of street art Newcastle’s newest artists have created!

Local culture

Newcastle has a grit and a creative soul that makes it the perfect backdrop for street art. While the city is famous for its iconic bridges and 'hidden' tunnels like the Victoria Tunnel, its modern identity is etched in the vibrant murals found in the Ouseburn Valley and the West End. Street art here isn't just decoration; it's part of the Geordie spirit—bold, friendly, and unapologetic. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Newcastle is home to several legal 'free walls' where artists can hone their craft? Area like Stepney Bank have helped cement the city as a northern hub for graffiti culture! 🏆

By bringing our workshops to Newcastle, we're tapping into that local energy. We encourage students to take inspiration from the city around them, whether it's the industrial lines of the Tyne Bridge or the black-and-white stripes of St James' Park. We're proud to help grow the next generation of North East talent.
