How long does a typical after-school workshop last?

Our after-school graffiti workshops in Newcastle usually go for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the kids plenty of time to learn the safety basics, practice their can control, and complete their final masterpiece without feeling rushed. It's the perfect amount of time to stay focused and get creative before heading home for dinner!

Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our Newcastle workshops are designed for absolute beginners as well as those who might have a bit of a creative streak. Our professional artists walk everyone through the process step-by-step. We focus on fun and expression rather than perfect technical skill, so every student walks away feeling like a legend.

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our biggest priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks and gloves. We also use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier for younger artists to control. Our instructors are experienced pros who keep a close eye on the group at all times to ensure everyone stays safe while having a blast.

What should the kids wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on. While we do provide protective gear, spray paint is permanent and has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or shoes! Think of it as a badge of honour from a day spent being creative in Newcastle.

Where in Newcastle do the workshops take place?

We're all about flexibility! We can host workshops at various local community hubs around Newcastle, or if your school or youth centre has a suitable outdoor space with good ventilation, we can bring the entire street art studio to you. We'll handle the setup and the cleanup, leaving the space just as we found it.

What is the minimum age for participants?

We generally recommend our after-school programs for kids aged 10 and up. This is usually when they have the hand strength to operate the spray cans effectively and the focus to follow the creative techniques. However, we can adapt our sessions for slightly younger groups if requested—just let us know!

How do we book and when do we pay?

Booking is super easy and transparent. You don't need to pay anything upfront! Simply reach out for a quote, lock in your date, and you only pay after the workshop is completed. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation.
