Is it safe for primary school children to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are water-based or low-solvent where possible, and we always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or under large open-sided tents. Our professional artists are trained to supervise children, ensuring the spray cans are used correctly and responsibly throughout the entire creative session.

Do we need a specific wall at the school for the graffiti?

Ideally, we just need an outdoor space like a school playground, a sports field, or a car park. We bring mobile plastic 'walls' or set up large canvases, so we don't need any permanent walls. We also use protective ground covers to ensure we don't leave a single drop of paint on your school's pavement. If it rains, a large gym with high ceilings and open doors can sometimes work too!

What will the children actually learn during the workshop?

The children won't just be 'spraying'—they'll be learning! They start by sketching their ideas on paper, learning about letter structures and colour theory. Then, they move to the graffiti boards where they practice 'filling', 'outlining', and adding 'highlights'. It’s a fantastic way to develop fine motor skills and spatial awareness while encouraging kids who might struggle with traditional 'sit-down' art classes to express themselves.

Can the workshop be tailored to a specific educational theme?

Absolutely! We love it when schools have a specific theme, such as 'The Environment', 'Sustainability', or 'School Values'. Our artists can guide the children to create a giant collaborative mural that reflects these topics. This makes the workshop not just a fun day out, but a meaningful educational experience that ties into your current curriculum or a specific school project you are running.

How long does a typical school session last?

Our standard primary school workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration, sketching, and the final painting phase. For larger schools, we often run multiple back-to-back sessions throughout the day so that every class gets a chance to participate. We are totally flexible and can adapt the timing to fit your school's bell schedule.

What is the minimum age for the graffiti workshop?

We recommend our primary school workshops for children aged 8 and up (Years 4, 5, and 6). At this age, they have the hand strength to press the spray caps and the coordination to follow the technical steps. However, for younger children, we can often adapt the session using paint markers or brushes alongside the spray cans to ensure everyone can join in the fun safely.
