Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who supervise the group at all times, ensuring the spray cans are used correctly and responsibly. We use low-odour professional paints whenever possible to ensure a comfortable breathing environment for the kids while they unleash their creativity in Yogyakarta.

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 instructors walk the students through the entire process, from basic spray nozzle control to more advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, even those who thought they couldn't draw a stick figure will be amazed at the vibrant mural they've helped create.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard after-school session usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final group mural creation. We can also adapt the timing to fit specifically into your school's extracurricular schedule or split the session over multiple days if you're looking for a more in-depth project.

What materials do we need to provide?

We provide everything! This includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, caps/nozzles, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), and the 'canvas' (whether that's a mobile wall, individual boards, or a designated school wall). All you need to provide is an outdoor or well-ventilated space and a group of excited students ready to get their hands a little bit colourful!

What is the recommended age for these workshops?

For after-school programmes, we generally recommend the workshop for children aged 8 and up. This is because the spray cans require a certain amount of hand strength and coordination to operate effectively. However, we can adapt our teaching methods for slightly younger groups using alternative tools if needed. It’s a fantastic way for teenagers and pre-teens to express themselves in a modern, urban way.

Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?

Absolutely! Many schools in Yogyakarta choose a theme that aligns with their values or current curriculum topics—like 'Sustainability', 'Unity in Diversity', or 'Future Dreams'. We can work with you beforehand to plan a design that incorporates these themes, ensuring the final artwork isn't just beautiful, but also carries a meaningful message for the school community.

Do we have to pay in advance?

You don't need to pay a penny upfront! We believe in the quality of our workshops, so we work on a 'pay after the workshop' basis. Once the session is complete and the students are buzzing with excitement over their new skills, we'll handle the invoice. It makes the booking process completely stress-free for teachers and administrative staff.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school activity? It’s more than just paint on a wall—it’s a gateway to self-discovery in a city that celebrates creativity. Here’s why students (and teachers) love it: ✨

Epic engagement: Even the most 'too-cool-for-school' students get stuck in when there's a spray can in their hand!
Confidence boost: Seeing a large-scale piece of art come together gives students a massive sense of accomplishment.
Teamwork in action: Creating a mural requires communication, planning, and supporting each other's sections.
Professional guidance: Learn from real artists who share the secrets of the trade and the "do's and don'ts" of the art world.
Zero stress for schools: We bring all the gear, handle the setup, and lead the cleanup. You just bring the kids! 🏆
Safe environment: We provide a controlled, legal outlet for urban expression that teaches respect for public spaces.

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We start with a quick chat about the history of street art and look at some epic local Yogyakarta examples to get the creative juices flowing.
Gear up: Safety first! Every student gets fitted with their protective suit, gloves, and professional-grade mask.
First lines: Each student gets their own practice space. We teach them how to hold the can and control the pressure for different line thicknesses.
Learning the 'Tag': Students learn the art of the signature, creating their own unique graffiti name with a focus on flow and style.
Mastering techniques: Our pros demonstrate 'fading', 'outlining', and 'highlights'—the secret ingredients that make graffiti pop!
The big mural: The group moves to a large shared wall or canvas to start working on a collaborative masterpiece based on a chosen theme.
Detailing: We go back in with 'skinny caps' to add the fine details and sharpen the edges of the artwork.
Photo op: Once the masterpiece is complete, we take group photos with the finished work—perfect for the school newsletter!
Clean up: We pack up all the gear and leave the area tidy, leaving behind only the incredible new artwork and some very happy students.

Local culture

Yogyakarta, or 'Jogja' as the locals love to call it, is arguably the street art capital of Indonesia. Walking through areas like Muntilan or the narrow alleys of Prawirotaman, you'll see that the walls are already talking! The city has a deep-rooted tradition of muralism that blends social commentary with incredible Javanese aesthetics. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging students to look at their city with new eyes. 🌟

Fun fact: Yogyakarta is home to the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI), which has helped foster a community where street art isn't seen as vandalism, but as a respected form of contemporary cultural expression. Most of the 'street' artists you see on the walls during the day are actually celebrated professionals!
