Is there an age limit for the school holiday graffiti workshops?

Our school holiday workshops are designed for kids and teens aged 6 to 18. We group participants by age and skill level to ensure everyone feels comfortable and challenged. Whether they are primary schoolers looking to mess around with colours or teenagers wanting to learn complex lettering techniques, our professional artists tailor their guidance to suit the specific needs of the group. Safety gear is provided for all sizes!

Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are specifically designed for beginners. Most of our students in East London have never held a spray can before. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and stay safe. By the end of the session, your child will be amazed at what they've managed to create with just a bit of expert guidance and some practice.

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, and we use low-odour, professional-grade spray paint. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces. Every session begins with a comprehensive safety briefing where we teach participants how to handle the equipment responsibly. Our expert artists supervise the group closely at all times during the session.

What should my child wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'character' on! While we provide protective gear like ponchos or aprons, graffiti can be a messy business, and paint spots have a way of finding their way onto sleeves or shoes. It’s all part of the fun of being a street artist for a day! Please avoid wearing brand-new white takkies.

Are all materials included in the workshop price?

Everything is included in the price! We provide the spray cans in a wide variety of vibrant colours, protective masks and gloves, and the surfaces they will be painting on (such as large boards or canvases). You don't need to bring a single thing except some water to stay hydrated and plenty of creative energy. We handle all the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

East London weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got it covered. If the weather is looking particularly rough, we usually move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or a large indoor space with high ceilings and excellent ventilation. If we absolutely have to reschedule due to extreme weather, we will work with you to find a backup date that suits your holiday schedule perfectly.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your holiday plans? It’s more than just painting—it’s an experience that builds confidence and sparks some serious inspiration. Here’s why East London parents love our sessions: 🔥

Learn from the pros: Our artists aren't just teachers; they're active members of the street art community who live and breathe this stuff.
Screen-free fun: Get the kids outdoors and active, using their hands and their imaginations in a real-world setting.
Boost confidence: There’s nothing like the feeling of finishing a huge, colourful mural to make a kid feel like a total rockstar.
No stress for you: We provide everything! No need to run around looking for supplies—just drop them off and we’ll handle the rest.
Safe and professional: We take safety seriously with top-tier gear and a 100% focus on fun and respectful expression.
Unique results: Every student goes home with their own unique piece of art and a whole new set of skills to show off.

Step by step

Arrival and safety briefing: We kick things off with a warm welcome and a quick safety talk. Everyone gets geared up with masks and gloves.
The art of the tag: Students learn the history of graffiti and move on to creating their own artist name or 'tag' on paper.
Can control basics: Our pros demonstrate how to hold the spray can, how to control the spray width, and how to avoid those pesky drips.
Practice on the wall: Kids get their first chance to spray, practicing lines, circles, and fills on a dedicated practice surface.
Sketching the masterpiece: We move on to the main event! Participants sketch their big design onto their final canvas or board.
Fill and fade: This is where the magic happens. We teach techniques like colour blending, fades, and '3D' shadowing.
The final outline: Adding a sharp outline makes the artwork pop! Our artists help students refine their lines for a professional look.
Detailing and highlights: We add the finishing touches, like 'shines' and 'clouds' to give the piece that authentic street art feel.
Photo op and cleanup: We wrap up by taking photos of the amazing creations before everyone heads home with their new skills!

Local culture

East London has an underrated but growing street art scene, with vibrant murals popping up from Quigney to the bustling streets of Beacon Bay. Our workshops tap into that local "Buffalo City" spirit—relaxed, friendly, and surprisingly creative. We love showing the youth that art isn't just something you see in a gallery; it's something that lives on the walls of our community. 🌊

Fun fact: Did you know East London is known as the "Buffalo City" because of the Buffalo River? We often see students drawing inspiration from the local surfing culture and marine life when they design their graffiti pieces! 🏄‍♂️
