Is graffiti safe for primary school children?

Safety is our top priority! We use high-quality spray paint and provide all participants with protective gloves and masks. Our professional artists supervise every second of the session to ensure the youngsters are handling the cans correctly. We also provide protective ponchos to keep school uniforms or clothes as clean as possible while the creative magic happens in a controlled, safe environment.

Can the workshop take place at our school?

Absolutely! We can bring our mobile workshop setup to your school grounds in Johannesburg or host you at one of our partnered street art locations. If we come to you, we use specialized boards or canvases to ensure your school walls stay exactly as they are. This makes it incredibly easy for teachers to organize without worrying about transport logistics.

How long does a typical session last?

A typical primary school workshop lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. We've found this is the "sweet spot" for maintaining high energy and focus. The session includes a brief history lesson, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of their masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable if needed.

Do we need to provide any materials?

We provide everything! Your learners will get access to premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles), gloves, masks, and the "canvas" itself—whether that is a large communal board or individual panels. You don't need to shop for a single thing; just bring the kids and their creative energy!

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists break down the techniques into simple, manageable steps that even a Grade 1 learner can follow. We focus on "drawing with air" and having fun rather than technical perfection. You will be amazed at how quickly the children pick up the basic skills and start creating impressive art.

What is the maximum group size?

We are flexible with group sizes! We can accommodate small classes or heat up the energy for an entire grade. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to maintain a high teacher-to-student ratio, ensuring every child gets the personal guidance and "wow" moment they deserve during their Johannesburg street art experience.

How does the payment process work for schools?

Our policy is simple and stress-free: no upfront payment is required! We believe in the quality of our workshops so much that you only pay after the event is completed. This makes the administration process for schools much easier and ensures you are 100% satisfied with the creative explosion we bring to your campus.

Why settle for ordinary finger painting when you can let the kids unleash their inner Banksy? Our workshops are more than just a fun day out—they are a massive boost for student confidence and team building.

Step by step

The introduction: We start with a high-energy intro about the history of street art and how it turned from "vandalism" to a respected global art form.
Safety first: Every learner gets geared up with masks and gloves while we explain the "golden rules" of using spray cans safely.
Mastering the nozzle: Our artists demonstrate different "caps" and show how to control pressure to create thin lines, fat drips, and soft fades.
Sketching the vision: Students grab markers or chalk to outline their big ideas on the boards before the paint starts flying.
Filling in the colour: This is where the magic happens! Learners start filling their designs with vibrant South African-inspired colours.
The outline & highlights: We teach the kids how to make their art "pop" by adding sharp outlines and those crucial white highlights.
Shadow work: A quick lesson on 3D effects to give their graffiti depth and a professional look.
The grand reveal: We step back as a group to admire the collaborative mural or individual masterpieces created by the class.
Clean up & high-fives: We pack up all the gear and leave the area spotless, leaving only the incredible artwork behind!

Local culture

Johannesburg is the heartbeat of South African street art! From the iconic murals of Maboneng to the gritty, colourful alleys of Braamfontein, Jozi is a city that speaks through its walls. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, teaching children that art isn't just something you see in a museum—it's part of the urban fabric of their own city. We celebrate the "Joburg hustle" through creativity, showing students how their unique voices can contribute to the beauty of the City of Gold.

Fun Fact: Did you know Johannesburg is home to some of the largest street art murals in all of Africa? Many of these pieces tell stories of our history and hope, making Joburg a world-renowned destination for graffiti enthusiasts! 🌍✨
