Is the paint safe for young children in primary school?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all students with high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks. We use low-odor, non-toxic spray paint specifically designed for professional results with minimal fumes. Our experienced artists provide constant supervision and a thorough safety briefing before anyone even touches a can. We ensure a controlled environment where kids can focus entirely on being creative and having a blast!

How long does a typical workshop last?

For our primary school workshops in San Francisco, we usually recommend a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours. This timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for younger kids—it's long enough for them to learn the techniques and complete a masterpiece, but short enough to keep their energy levels high and their focus sharp. We can always adjust the timing to fit your specific school schedule or lesson plan!

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

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists guide the students through every single step, from basic spray control to adding those final 'wow' details. We focus on the process and the fun of self-expression rather than perfection. You'll be amazed at the high-quality art these kids can produce with just a little bit of expert guidance and encouragement!

Where do the workshops take place?

We are totally flexible! We can bring the workshop directly to your school playground or gym, or we can host the group at one of our inspiring local street art spots in San Francisco. If we come to you, we take care of all the floor and wall protection to ensure the school grounds stay exactly as we found them—just with a lot more creative energy in the air!

Does this encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?

Street art is a fantastic tool for teaching kids about collaboration, boundaries, and the difference between public art and vandalism. During the workshop, we discuss the history of graffiti and the importance of 'legal walls.' It’s a great way to channel their energy into a positive, community-building activity while teaching them to respect their local San Francisco neighborhoods and public spaces.

What should the students wear on the day of the workshop?

We recommend that students wear 'play clothes' that you don't mind getting a little messy. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti is a hands-on art form and a stray drop of paint is always a possibility when kids are having this much fun! Comfortable sneakers are also a must as they'll be on their feet and moving around while they create their masterpieces.

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We start with a high-energy kick-off where our artists introduce the world of street art and go over all the safety rules.
The 'tag' brainstorm: Students learn about the history of tags and start sketching their own unique artist name or nickname on paper.
Can control 101: We head to the 'practice wall' where kids learn how to hold the can, adjust pressure, and master basic lines and dots.
Background creation: Time to get messy! The kids work together to create a vibrant, multi-colored background for their collective or individual pieces.
Lettering and shapes: Our artists guide the students in scaling up their sketches, teaching them how to create 3D effects and bold outlines.
Character and detail work: Adding the personality! Kids learn how to add highlights, shadows, and fun characters to make their art pop.
The final outline: The most satisfying part—using a 'fat cap' or 'skinny cap' to give the artwork those crisp, professional-looking edges.
Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the incredible new mural with a huge group photo before tidying up our creative zone.

From the historic community stories told in the Balmy Alley murals to the cutting-edge street art found throughout Clarion Alley, this city breathes creativity. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, teaching students that they are part of a long-standing tradition of West Coast expression. We don't just teach them how to spray paint; we teach them to see the beauty in their own urban environment. ✨
