Do the kids need any previous art experience?

No prior art skills are needed whatsoever! Our Machala school holiday workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our professional street artists will guide everyone through the 'sketch-to-spray' process, teaching basic techniques like outlining, filling, and shading. We're all about building confidence and having a laugh while learning a cool new skill during the break.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our spray paints are selected for safety, and we always work in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Plus, our expert instructors provide thorough safety briefings before anyone even touches a spray can!

What should participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable 'scruffy' clothes and old trainers. Even though we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy, and spray paint is notoriously difficult to get out of fabrics. It’s best to wear things you don't mind getting a stray splash of colour on!

How long does the school holiday workshop last?

Our school holiday sessions typically run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of street art, practice different spraying techniques on practice boards, and complete a final masterpiece. It’s the perfect duration to keep energy levels high without the kids getting overtired.

Do I need to pay in advance to book?

We make things easy for parents and planners in Machala! You don't need to pay anything upfront. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is completed and everyone is happy with their experience. It’s a stress-free way to book your holiday entertainment.

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

The banana capital doesn't let a little rain stop the fun! If the weather looks shaky, we usually have backup indoor locations or covered areas ready to go. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel, ensuring your holiday plans stay firmly on track.

The experience

Unleash Hidden Talent: Graffiti is a fantastic equaliser—even kids who don't think they're "artistic" find their groove with a spray can in hand! 🎤
Professional Mentorship: Learn from real-deal street artists who live and breathe the culture, not just art teachers reading from a book.
Safe & Controlled: We provide a legitimate outlet for urban expression, teaching the difference between public art and vandalism. 🔥
Team Building: Many of our holiday workshop designs are collaborative, teaching kids how to communicate and create a massive piece as one crew.
Zero Stress for Organisers: We handle the setup, the cleanup, and the materials. You just bring the energy and the participants! 🏆
Memorable Souvenirs: Whether it's a photo of a mural or a personalized canvas to take home, the memories of this holiday will last forever.

Step by step

The Crew Briefing: We start with a high-energy intro, meet the artists, and learn about the vibrant history of global street art.
Safety First: Everyone gets geared up in protective masks and overalls while we explain the golden rules of using spray cans safely.
The Sketch Phase: Participants grab paper and markers to brainstorm their concepts. Whether it's a 'tag' or a full character, we help refine the idea.
Can Control 101: We head to the walls! Our artists demonstrate how distance, pressure, and speed change the lines on the surface.
Shaping the Outline: Using a light touch, everyone begins sketching their design onto the wall or canvas using the spray cans.
Fill-ins & Colouring: This is where the magic happens. We teach layering techniques to make the colours pop and cover the surface professionally.
The Master Detail: We add highlights, shadows, and those sharp 'final outlines' that make a piece of graffiti look 3D and professional.
The Big Reveal: We step back, admire the collective masterpiece, and snap plenty of photos for the 'Gram or the family album!

Local culture

Machala is a city that thrives on energy, from its bustling port at Puerto Bolívar to the vibrant squares like Juan Montalvo Park. While Machala is globally famous for its bananas, the local youth culture is increasingly embracing the artistic flair of street art. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging participants to draw inspiration from the lush coastal landscapes and the dynamic urban energy of El Oro province.

Fun Fact: Machala is known as the "Banana Capital of the World," and many local artists are starting to use the bright yellow of the Cavendish banana as a signature pop of colour in their urban murals! 🍌

We love working here because the community is so welcoming and the backdrop of the city provides the perfect canvas for temporary street art installations. Whether we're setting up near the coast or in the heart of the city, the Machaleño vibe always brings something special to our graffiti sessions.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are flexible and tailored to your specific needs. Prices depend on group size, location choice, and the specific setup required for your Machala event. We believe in transparency and fairness, which is why we offer a 'no-surprises' approach.
