Is the spray paint safe for elementary school children?

Safety is our absolute #1 priority, especially for primary school students. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and ponchos. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large, airy indoor spaces. Furthermore, our professional instructors handle all the logistics and supervise the students closely, ensuring every spray of the can is done safely and responsibly.

Do the students need any prior art skills?

Not at all! Our Hamilton workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps that kids can easily follow. We focus on basic shapes, simple lettering, and fun filling techniques. By the end of the session, every student will have created something they are proud of, regardless of their prior art experience.

What should the students wear to the workshop?

We recommend that students wear 'play clothes' or old sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective ponchos and gloves to keep the kids as clean as possible, graffiti is a hands-on, creative process and things can occasionally get a little messy. It’s all part of the authentic street art experience!

How long does a typical school workshop last?

A standard primary school workshop in Hamilton usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This provides plenty of time for the initial safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of their masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit within your school’s specific period blocks or lunch schedules.

Can you host the workshop directly at our school?

While we love the vibe of Hamilton's outdoor alleys, we can definitely bring the workshop to your school grounds! We can set up temporary wooden boards or use large canvases in your gym or playground. This makes it incredibly easy for teachers to organize without worrying about transportation logistics. We bring everything needed to protect your school’s surfaces.

Are all materials included in the price?

Yes, we provide everything! Your booking includes all the professional spray paint cans, a wide variety of nozzle types for different effects, protective gear (masks, gloves, ponchos), and the surfaces (canvases or boards). You just need to provide the eager young artists, and we will handle the rest of the setup and cleanup.
