What is the age limit for the holiday workshop?

Our school holiday workshops in Johannesburg are perfect for kids and teens aged 8 to 18. We tailor our teaching style to the specific age group, ensuring younger children focus on simple shapes and safety, while older teens can dive into complex layering and technical 'wildstyle' lettering. It is a fantastic way for different age groups to bond over a shared creative Goal!

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Definitely! Most of our holiday participants have never touched a spray can before. Our Joburg artists are experts at breaking down the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering nozzle pressure. We guide everyone step-by-step, starting with paper sketches before moving to the wall, so they feel confident and supported throughout the entire creative process.

Is the spray paint safe for children to use?

Safety is our top priority in Johannesburg. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray paint which is easier to control and significantly safer for beginners. All workshops are supervised by professional artists who ensure that everyone follows the safety protocols while having a blast.

What should my child wear or bring along?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers just in case, even though we provide protective gear. Spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes! Since Johannesburg can get quite sunny, please ensure your child has applied sunscreen if we are working at an outdoor wall. We provide all the professional art supplies, cans, and safety equipment needed.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard school holiday sessions in Jozi usually last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the history of street art, practice their 'tagging' techniques on boards, and then collaborate on a massive final mural. It’s the perfect duration to keep energy levels high without the kids getting overtired.

Can I book a private session for a group of friends?

Yes, we do! If you prefer a private holiday activity for a specific group of friends or a holiday club, we can come to your location in Johannesburg or host you at one of our partner walls. For smaller individual bookings, we often have scheduled 'open' sessions during the June/July and December/January breaks. Contact us to see what's on the calendar!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your holiday plans? In a city as bold as Johannesburg, standard holiday care just doesn't cut it. Here is why our sessions are the talk of the town:

Ultimate Street Cred: Kids learn real techniques from active street artists who know the Jozi scene inside out. 🎨
Total Safety: We provide professional-grade masks and gloves—it is all the fun of graffiti with none of the mess or risk. 🛡️
Boosts Creativity: There are no mistakes in graffiti, only 'happy accidents' that build artistic confidence. ✨
Active & Engaging: It gets them off the screens and outdoor, moving and creating in the fresh Joburg air. 🔥
Everything Provided: You don't need to bring a thing—we supply all the paint, boards, and gear. 🎒
No Upfront Fees: Book with peace of mind—you only pay after the workshop is done! 🏆

Step by step

Introduction and history: We kick off at our Joburg street art spot with a brief, high-energy history of graffiti and how it evolved into modern street art.
Safety first: Every participant gets kitted out with professional masks, gloves, and protective gear. We explain how to use the equipment responsibly.
Sketching the vision: Before we touch the cans, we grab paper and markers to practice 'tagging' and sketching out the basic letter structures.
Can control basics: Our artists demonstrate different nozzle types (caps) and techniques like fading, outlining, and creating 'dots'.
Wall practice: Everyone gets their own section of the wall or a large board to practice their newfound skills and get a feel for the paint flow.
The masterpiece: We work together on a large-scale mural, combining everyone's unique styles into one massive, vibrant piece of community art.
Final touches: We add highlights and 'power lines' to make the graffiti pop and look professional.
Photos and cleanup: We take group photos in front of the finished work—the ultimate Instagram moment—and wrap up the session.

Good to know

Duration: Typically 1.5 to 2.5 hours of non-stop creative fun.
Group sizes: We cater to small groups of 5 up to large holiday programmes of 50+ kids.
Included: All spray paint, caps, safety masks, gloves, overalls, and high-quality canvases or wall space.
Safety: Full supervision by experienced artists with high-grade protective equipment and low-odour paint.
Location: Various vibrant spots across Johannesburg, or we can come to your holiday club venue.

Local culture

Johannesburg is the undisputed heart of South African street art. From the iconic murals of Newtown to the vibrant, ever-changing walls of Maboneng and Braamfontein, Jozi speaks through its art. Our workshops tap into this local 'hustle' spirit, teaching kids that graffiti isn't just about paint—it's about storytelling and urban identity. We often draw inspiration from the gold-rush history of the city and the diverse cultures that make Johannesburg so unique.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Joburg hosts some of the largest street art festivals in Africa? Many of the world-renowned artists who paint these massive skyline murals started exactly where you will: with a single can and a big idea!
