Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Not at all! Our professional artists guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering shading techniques. Most of our food festival participants have never touched a spray can before. We provide practice boards and stencils to help you build confidence quickly, ensuring you walk away with a piece of art you're actually proud of. It's all about having a lekka time and getting creative.

Is the spray paint safe to use near food stalls?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray paint which is easier to control and produces less fumes. Our Pretoria team ensures the workshop area is well-ventilated and situated at a safe distance from food preparation zones to maintain a clean environment for both artists and diners.

How long does a typical festival session last?

A standard mini-workshop at a festival usually lasts between 20 to 45 minutes, making it the perfect 'creative snack' between meals. However, we also offer longer, more immersive sessions if you want to complete a full canvas. The beauty of our food festival setup is its flexibility—you can drop in when there's a gap in your tasting schedule and leave with a masterpiece!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to become a street art pro for the day! This includes premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (masks, gloves, overalls), various nozzles (caps) for different effects, and high-quality canvases or boards. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and maybe some comfortable shoes. We handle the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards.

Is this activity suitable for children and families?

Absolutely! While we love hosting adults, we have specialised techniques and smaller gear for the younger 'vroue en manne'. Our workshops are a massive hit with kids and teens at Pretoria festivals. It gives them a productive outlet for their energy while the parents enjoy the culinary offerings. We ensure a safe, supervised environment where creativity can run wild.

What happens if it rains during the festival?

We are experts at pivoting! If the Pretoria weather doesn't play along, we can move the workshop under gazebos or large stretch tents. If your festival is indoors, we use water-based, low-odour spray paints specifically designed for interior use. Rain or shine, we ensure the creative vibes keep flowing without compromising the safety or comfort of your guests.

Gear up for safety: Put on your protective poncho, gloves, and professional mask to ensure you stay clean and safe while painting.
Cap selection: Learn about different spray nozzles (caps). We’ll show you which ones are for fat lines and which ones are for fine details.
Master the shake: Give those cans a good rattle! Mixing the pigment correctly is the secret to a smooth, vibrant finish.
The first spray: Practise your pressure control on a test board to get a feel for how the paint flows and how far to hold the can.
Outline your masterpiece: Use your chosen base colour to map out the shapes and letters of your graffiti art on the canvas.
Fill and fade: Add vibrant colours to your design! Our pros will teach you how to create smooth gradients and 'fades' between different shades.
The final ‘Cut’: Sharten your edges with a final outline and add 'highlights' or 'force fields' to make your artwork pop off the surface.
Show it off: Once the paint is touch-dry, signature your work and take it home as the ultimate Pretoria festival souvenir!

Local culture

Pretoria (or Tswane) has a unique soul—it’s a blend of historic grandeur and a gritty, modern urban edge. From the purple-drenched streets during Jacaranda season to the underground vibes of the CBD, art is everywhere. The local street art scene has been booming, with incredible murals popping up in places like the 012central precinct. We bring that authentic 'Pretoria Power' to your festival, celebrating the local culture through bold colours and tags.

Fun Fact: Did you know Pretoria is home to some of the longest-standing graffiti 'halls of fame' in South Africa? The city has a deep-rooted respect for public art that spans decades! 🇿🇦
