Is graffiti spray painting safe for primary school children?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos for every learner. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open halls. Our Durban artists are experts at managing large groups of energetic kids, ensuring they stay focused on their art while following all safety protocols. We make sure everyone has a blast without any worries!

Can you come to our school or do we need to travel?

Absolutely! We bring the entire studio to your school premises in Durban. Whether you want to use a school wall (with permission), large wooden boards, or individual canvases that the children can take home, we handle the logistics. This saves you the hassle of organizing transport and keeps the learners in a familiar, controlled environment. We just need an outdoor space or a very well-ventilated undercover area to get started.

What is the ideal group size for a school workshop?

While we don't have a strict minimum, our workshops are most cost-effective for groups of 15 or more. We have the capacity to handle entire grade levels or even the whole school by rotating groups throughout the day. For very large groups, we bring in backup artists to ensure every child gets personal attention and guidance. We’re flexible enough to fit into your school's specific timetable and requirements.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

A standard primary school session usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time. If you have a tighter schedule, we can condense the experience, or if you're looking for a deep dive for an art club, we can extend it into a half-day masterclass. We work around your bells!

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, how to control pressure, and how to create simple shapes. Our professional artists guide the learners step-by-step, ensuring that by the end of the session, every student has created something they can be proud of. It’s all about building confidence and discovering new talents in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

What happens if we need to cancel or if the weather is bad?

We’ve got you covered. For school bookings, we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. We also have a reliable team of backup artists in the Durban area, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event won't be cancelled. Our goal is to make the booking process as stress-free as possible for busy teachers and administrators.

Local culture

Durban is a city overflowing with rhythm and colour, from the iconic murals along the beachfront to the hidden alleys of Riverhorse Valley. Street art is part of the city’s DNA, reflecting our diverse cultures and the 'Durbs' spirit of creativity. Our workshops tap into this local energy, encouraging learners to take inspiration from the surf, the sun, and the street life that makes our city unique. We don't just teach graffiti; we celebrate the artistic heartbeat of KwaZulu-Natal.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Durban is home to some of the largest legal graffiti walls in South Africa? The city has long embraced urban art as a way to beautify public spaces and tell local stories!

Our school workshop pricing is designed to be affordable while maintaining top-tier quality. Prices typically range from R400 to R900 per student, depending on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and whether the kids are painting a shared mural or individual canvases to keep.
