What exactly is an anti-vandalism graffiti workshop?

An anti-vandalism workshop focuses on transforming destructive urges into creative expression. Instead of illegal tagging on public property, we teach participants how to use spray paint responsibly on designated surfaces. It’s about understanding the culture of street art, respecting the community, and learning that there are legal, productive outlets for this incredible art form. We provide a safe space to fail, learn, and eventually create something beautiful.

Is the workshop safe for children and teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our professional artists are trained to supervise the use of spray cans, ensuring that the paint stays on the canvas and away from faces. We use professional-grade materials that are safe when used according to our expert instructions.

Do I need any prior drawing or painting experience?

Not at all! You don’t need to be the next Banksy to join us. Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create simple lines. Our Durban-based artists will guide you through every step of the process. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create an impressive piece of art with just a few expert tips.

Can you host the workshop at our own location in Durban?

While our standard sessions are held at our dedicated creative spots in Durban, we are fully mobile! We can bring the workshop to your school, community centre, or corporate office. We use protective floor coverings and boards to ensure we leave the venue exactly as we found it. If you have a specific location in mind, just let us know and we’ll check if it’s suitable?

How long does a typical session last?

The workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of Durban street art, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the final creation of your masterpiece. We can also customise the duration to fit into a school timetable or a specific event schedule. We make sure every minute is packed with action and creativity so nobody gets bored!

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing (masks, gloves, overalls), and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on, and bring plenty of energy and enthusiasm!

How does the payment process work?

We offer total flexibility. Unlike many other providers, we don't require an upfront payment to secure your booking. You can pay after the workshop is completed once you’re 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods and will provide a clear invoice. Our goal is to make the process as stress-free and fun as possible for you.

Local culture

Durban is a melting pot of culture, and our street art reflects that "Surf City" soul. From the colourful murals painting the walls of Riverhorse Valley to the hidden gems in Glenwood and the iconic beachfront vibes, Durban has a grit and beauty that is totally unique. We love incorporating the local "lekker" spirit into our workshops, encouraging participants to draw inspiration from the Indian Ocean, our local markets, and the incredible diversity of our people. 🌊

Fun Fact: Did you know that Durban is home to some of South Africa's most famous "legal" graffiti walls, where international artists fly in specifically to leave their mark alongside our local legends?
