Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. we use low-odour, non-toxic water-based spray paints for our primary school workshops. Every student is provided with a high-quality mask, disposable gloves, and a protective poncho to keep their school uniforms clean. Our instructors are highly experienced in managing groups of children and ensure that the 'spraying' happens in a controlled, safe, and supervised environment.

Do the kids need to have any prior drawing or art skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to draw a simple line. Our Newcastle artists are experts at encouraging kids who might feel 'un-artistic' to find their own style. By the end of the session, every student will have created something they are truly proud of.

Where in Newcastle do the workshops take place?

We are flexible! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds in Newcastle, provided there is an outdoor area or a very well-ventilated undercover space. Alternatively, we can help arrange a local creative space. Most schools prefer the convenience of having us come to them, as it saves on transport costs and fits perfectly into the standard school day schedule.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

Our standard primary school workshops usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of time for a safety briefing, technique practice, and the completion of a final masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific double-period or school gala day schedule if needed. Just let us know what works best for your bell times!

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything needed for a world-class street art experience. This includes all spray paint, caps (nozzles), gloves, masks, ponchos, and the 'canvas' (which could be individual boards or a large communal mural wall). The only thing the school needs to provide is a suitable outdoor space and enthusiastic students ready to get their hands a little colourful! No hidden equipment fees here.

Can you handle large groups or multiple classes?

We love a big creative project! While we often work with class-sized groups (around 20-30 students), we can accommodate entire year levels by rotating groups throughout the day. We have a solid team of backup artists in the Newcastle area to ensure that even large-scale events run smoothly and every child gets the individual attention they need to master their spray-painting skills safely.

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no stress' booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. We understand that school budgets and admin can take time, so you simply pay the invoice after the workshop has been successfully completed. If plans change, we offer flexible rescheduling to ensure your students don't miss out on the fun!

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick off by meeting the students and explaining the history of street art, followed by a thorough safety talk on how to use the equipment responsibly.
Mastering the can: Students learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can, including how different caps create different effects and how to control paint flow.
The first line: We move to the practice wall where kids get to spray their very first lines, dots, and shapes to get a feel for the medium.
Sketching the vision: Before hitting the final surface, students sketch out their designs on paper, focusing on 'tags' or 'pieces' (the graffiti word for a masterpiece!).
Background techniques: We teach the kids how to create cool gradients, 'fades', and splash effects to make their backgrounds pop.
The big creation: This is the main event! Students apply their skills to their final canvas or mural, guided step-by-step by our pro artists.
Outlining and details: We show them the secret to making art stand out—adding sharp outlines and 'highlights' for that professional 3D look.
The big reveal: We finish with a 'gallery walk' where students can admire each other's work and take photos with their creations.
Clean up: We ensure the area is left spotless, leaving only the amazing new artwork behind!

Local culture

Newcastle is a city that breathes creativity! From the massive murals decorating the walls of Wickham to the hidden gems in the laneways of Cooks Hill, 'Newy' has transformed into a world-class street art destination. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, showing primary schoolers that art isn't just something found in a museum—it's part of the very fabric of their city. We often take inspiration from Newcastle's iconic coastline and industrial roots to help kids connect their art to their home turf.

Fun Fact: Newcastle hosts 'The Big Picture Fest', an annual event where international artists fly in to paint giant walls across the city. Your students could be the next generation of artists featured on that line-up! 🎨
