Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti workshop?

No prior artistic experience is needed at all! Our workshops are designed to take you from absolute beginner to creating your own masterpiece in just a couple of hours. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from how to hold the spray can to advanced layering techniques. It’s all about having fun and expressing yourself in a relaxed, supportive environment.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for the perfect street art experience. This includes professional-grade spray cans in a wide variety of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or boards you’ll be painting on. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear some comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops usually take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large industrial spaces. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide a full safety briefing before any cans are shaken, ensuring everyone has a blast while staying completely safe.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard onboarding workshops in Port Elizabeth typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final artwork. We can also customise the duration for corporate team-building events or larger groups if you have a specific schedule to stick to.

Can you host the workshop at our own location?

Absolutely! While we have a great outdoor spot in Gqeberha, we are fully mobile. We can bring the graffiti experience to your office, a local park, or a festival venue. As long as there is enough space and ventilation, we can set up our mobile plastic walls and drop sheets to turn almost any location into a temporary street art studio.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Rain won't stop the vibe! If the weather in the Windy City isn't playing along, we usually move to a sheltered or indoor location with plenty of ventilation. We also have backup artists available for every booking, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation. Your creative journey is safe with us!

How much does a graffiti workshop in Port Elizabeth cost?

The cost generally ranges between R400 and R900 per person. This variation depends on your group size, the location, and whether you want any specific extras like custom stencils or large-scale canvases. Because every event is unique, we recommend requesting a custom quote so we can give you the best possible price for your specific needs.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next outing in the Friendly City? It’s not just about paint; it’s about breaking barriers and finding a new way to communicate. Here’s why it’s a total game-changer:

Zero pressure, high reward: You don't need to be "good at drawing" to create something that looks incredible with a spray can. 💪
Stress-busting fun: There’s something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a can and the flow of bright colours on a wall.
Team bonding: Nothing brings a team together like collaborating on a giant mural (perfect for brand activations). 🔥
Authentic street vibez: Learn the real deal from professional artists who live and breathe this culture.
Total flexibility: We can come to you in PE, East London, or anywhere in between, or host you at our creative hubs.
Memorable keepsakes: You get to keep your canvases, serving as a permanent reminder of the day you conquered the spray can! 🏆

The anatomy of a can: Learn about different nozzles (caps), how pressure works, and how to shake your can like a professional.
Basic strokes: Start with some "warm-up" lines on the wall to get a feel for the distance and speed required for a clean finish.
Sketching your vibe: Use chalk or light spray paint to outline your design, focusing on layout and scale.
Filling and fading: Discover the secrets of "fills" and how to create those iconic graffiti gradients and colour blends.
The cut-back: Master the art of sharpening your edges and adding "highlights" to make your letters or characters pop off the surface.
Final touches: Add your "tag" or signature and stand back to admire your handiwork with the rest of the crew.

Local culture

Port Elizabeth, or the "Friendly City," has a growing street art heartbeat that reflects its diverse culture and coastal energy. While the city is famous for its "Route 67" art trail—honouring Nelson Mandela with 67 incredible public artworks—there is a whole underground world of spray-can culture waiting to be discovered. From the industrial vibes of the harbour to the creative pockets in Richmond Hill, PE is the perfect backdrop for a creative explosion. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that the "Windy City" nickname actually helps spray paint dry faster? Okay, maybe not officially, but it certainly keeps the air fresh while you're working on your masterpiece! Our workshops tap into this local spirit of resilience and creativity, giving you a chance to add your own flair to the South African street art tradition. 🌊

Pricing

We believe high-quality creative experiences should be accessible. Our workshop prices in Port Elizabeth generally range from R400 to R900 per person. The final price depends on your group size, the choice of materials, and the location of the event.
