Do I need to bring my own spray paint or gear?

For our East London pop-up events, we provide everything you need to create your masterpiece. This includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, high-quality caps for different line widths, protective gloves, masks, and aprons to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvas or surface you'll be working on. You just need to show up in some comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on!

I have zero artistic talent. Can I still join?

Absolutely not! Our East London workshops are specifically designed for people who have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from simple lines to advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you’ll be amazed at the artwork you’ve created. It’s all about having fun and discovering your inner artist in a relaxed environment.

Is it safe to use spray paint indoors?

Yes, we take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves for all participants. Our pop-up events in East London are typically held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces to ensure plenty of fresh air. Our instructors also give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a fun and hazard-free experience for everyone involved.

What is the age limit for the graffiti pop-up?

Generally, we recommend our workshops for ages 8 and up. Younger kids sometimes struggle with the pressure required to press the spray caps, but we can often accommodate them with a little extra help from our instructors. It's a fantastic activity for families, school groups, and youth events in the Buffalo City area. Everyone gets to express themselves regardless of their age!

How long does a typical session last?

A standard pop-up workshop in East London usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a quick history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the creation of your final piece. We can also customise the duration to fit into a larger festival or corporate event schedule if needed.

What happens if it rains on the day of the event?

We know East London weather can be a bit unpredictable! If we’re planning an outdoor event and the weather doesn't play along, we always try to have a backup indoor location or a gazebo setup ready. Because we have a team of backup artists, we almost never cancel. If things look really bad, we’ll work with you to reschedule or find a sheltered spot.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is super easy and flexible. You don't need to pay anything upfront! Simply fill out our contact form or use the cost calculator on our site to get an estimate. Once we've chatted and confirmed the details of your East London event, your spot is secured. You only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is happy with the results.

Local culture

East London (affectionately known as Buffalo City) has a unique, laid-back charm that perfectly suits the grit and soul of street art. While the city is famous for its incredible coastlines and the East London Grand Prix Circuit, there’s an underground creative energy brewing in neighbourhoods like Berea and Vincent. Our pop-up events tap into that local "Slummies" spirit—authentic, friendly, and unapologetically creative.

Fun Fact: Did you know East London is home to the only dodo egg in the world and the prehistoric Coelacanth fish? Just like these rare finds, we believe every person has a unique, rare creative spark waiting to be "fossilised" in a graffiti mural! 🐟🎨

We love setting up our workshops near the beach or in urban warehouses to capture that coastal-city breeze while we work. Whether you're in East London for the surf or the sunshine, adding some spray paint to the mix is the ultimate way to celebrate the local culture.
