Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! We only use high-quality, low-odour water-based spray paints for our Canberra primary school sessions. These are much safer and more pleasant for kids to use than traditional solvent-based cans. We also provide all necessary safety gear, including gloves and masks, and our professional artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. Your students' well-being is our number one priority while they explore their creativity.

Do the students need to have prior art skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our friendly professional artists break down the techniques into simple, manageable steps that any primary-aged student can follow. We focus on 'design thinking' and creative expression rather than technical perfection. By the end of the session, even the students who claim they 'can't draw' will be amazed at the vibrant piece of art they've helped create.

Where do the workshops take place in Canberra?

We are very flexible! We can bring our mobile setup directly to your school grounds in Canberra, using gymnasiums, playgrounds, or oval spaces. Alternatively, we can help arrange a session at an approved local street art location if you'd prefer an excursion vibe. We provide all the protective floor and wall coverings to ensure your school property remains exactly as it was—except for the beautiful new canvases the kids create!

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard primary school workshop usually runs between 1.5 to 2 hours. This timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus among younger students. It allows enough time for a safety demo, a history lesson on street art, individual practice, and the completion of a final group project or individual canvases. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your specific school bell schedule.

What are the costs involved for a school booking?

Our pricing is flexible and depends on the number of students and the specific materials required. Generally, costs range from A$40 to A$90 per student. We aim to make street art accessible, so we offer tiered pricing for larger year levels. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is completed to your 100% satisfaction. Contact us for a tailored quote for your school.

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

We've got you covered. If it's just a bit of Canberra drizzle, we can often move the workshop under a COLA (Covered Outdoor Learning Area) or into a well-ventilated school hall. If the weather is looking truly 'un-sprayable,' we have backup artists and flexible scheduling to ensure your workshop is postponed to the next available clear day. We never cancel on kids; we just find a way to make it work!

Step by step

Intro & Street Art History: We start with a high-energy chat about the history of graffiti, moving from ancient symbols to modern-day murals found around Braddon.
Safety & Gear Up: Students get fitted with their protective gear. We explain how the cans work and the 'golden rules' of spraying safely and respectfully.
The 'No-Spray' Sketch: Before hitting the wall, kids brainstorm ideas on paper, learning how to turn simple letters into 3D-style 'throw-ups' and characters.
Nozzle Control Practice: Students learn the 'feel' of the spray can, practicing lines, dots, and fades on practice boards to build their confidence.
Colour Theory Live: Our artists demonstrate how to blend colours and create 'pop' using highlights and outlines—it's like magic before their eyes!
The Big Creation: Whether it's individual canvases or a giant collaborative school mural, this is where the main masterpiece comes to life.
Final Details: We help the kids add those professional 'finishing touches' like sharp outlines and 'shine' spots to make the artwork gallery-ready.
The Big Reveal & Photos: We celebrate the students' hard work with a group photo session and a gallery walk of all the amazing creations!

Local culture

Canberra isn't just about politics and roundabouts; it’s home to a thriving underground street art scene! From the legal walls in Tuggeranong to the iconic murals hidden in the alleyways of Braddon, the ACT has a rich culture of public art that we love to share with students. Our workshops celebrate this local identity, encouraging kids to contribute to the visual story of their own city.

🎨 Fun Fact: Did you know Canberra has several "Legal Graffiti Sites"? These are designated areas where artists can hone their craft legally, helping to keep our city beautiful while supporting creative expression!
