How long does a typical after-school workshop last?

Our after-school sessions in Xi'an generally run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides the perfect window of time for students to learn the basic strokes, experiment with different nozzle types, and complete a final masterpiece without losing focus. We find this timeframe strikes the ideal balance between deep creative immersion and keeping the energy levels high from start to finish.

Is the spray paint safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone clean and safe. Our spray paints are selected for low-odour properties where possible, and we always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized studios. Our professional artists supervise the group at all times, ensuring that the 'rules of the road' for spray painting are strictly followed by every participant.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our Xi'an-based instructors are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. Whether a student has never held a spray can before or is already filling sketchbooks with doodles, we provide personalized guidance to help them grow and feel proud of their work.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all premium spray paint, a variety of nozzles (caps), protective gear like masks and gloves, and the 'canvas' (which could be a wall, a board, or individual canvases). We even handle the setup and the cleanup. The only thing students need to bring is their enthusiasm and perhaps some old clothes and trainers that they don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on.

Where in Xi'an do these after-school workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible with locations. We can host the workshop at your school premises (on a temporary wall or boards), at a local Xi'an park with legal graffiti zones, or at our own creative studio space. If you have a specific spot in mind in the city, let us know! We’ll assess the site to ensure it meets safety and ventilation requirements before we kick off the creative session.

Can the students take their artwork home with them?

Absolutely! For after-school programmes, we often recommend that each student works on their own individual canvas or board. This means at the end of the session, they have a tangible piece of street art to take home and hang on their bedroom wall. It’s a fantastic way to remember the experience and show off their new skills to family and friends.

How does the 'no upfront payment' policy work?

We believe in ultimate flexibility for schools and parents. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. We operate on a 'pay after the workshop' basis because we are 100% confident in the quality of our experience. This takes the stress out of the booking process and ensures you are completely satisfied with the service we provided in Xi'an before any money changes hands.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school programme in Xi'an? It’s more than just painting walls—it’s about building a unique set of skills in a high-energy environment. Here’s why schools and parents love what we do:

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: Our pro artist kicks things off with a brief history of street art and a look at some local Xi'an styles to get the creative juices flowing.
The gear guide: Students get kitted out in protective gear and learn how to handle the spray cans safely and effectively.
Basic techniques: We start with 'the basics'—learning how to control line thickness, create dots, and master distance from the wall.
Sketching the concept: Using paper or tablets, students sketch out their tags or characters, choosing their vibrant colour palettes.
Outline & fill: The fun part! Moving to the canvas, students spray their main outlines and begin 'filling' their work with bold layers of colour.
Shadows & highlights: We teach the tricks of the trade—adding 3D effects, shadows, and 'shines' to make the artwork pop off the surface.
The final outline: Using a 'fat cap' or a 'skinny cap', students add the final crisp outlines to sharpen their masterpiece.
The big reveal: We step back as a group to admire the finished gallery of street art, taking photos to capture the moment forever.

Local culture

Xi'an is a city where history lives in every brick, from the Terracotta Army to the ancient City Walls. But look a little closer, and you'll find a buzzing modern art scene that’s just as vibrant! Our workshops bridge that gap, showing students how to take the calligraphic precision of Chinese tradition and fuse it with the bold energy of worldwide street art. We often host sessions near the creative hubs of the city, inspired by the juxtaposition of old and new. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Xi'an has a thriving community of local muralists? Many of them draw inspiration from the silk road history, proving that 'street art' in Xi'an is just the newest chapter in a story thousands of years long! 🐉
