What is the minimum age for the school holiday workshop?

Our workshops are designed for children aged 6 and up, as well as teenagers. We provide smaller cans that are easier for little hands to hold and manage. For the younger creators, we focus more on simple shapes and vibrant colour blending, while older kids can dive into complex lettering and shading techniques. It is a fantastic way for different age groups to bond over a shared creative project during the school holidays.

Is it safe for my children to use spray paint?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high quality FFP2 or FFP3 respirators to ensure no one breathes in fumes, along with protective overalls and gloves to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists supervise every single spray to ensure the equipment is used correctly. We choose spacious, well ventilated outdoor or semi outdoor locations in Merida to ensure a comfortable and safe environment for all participants throughout the session.

Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Not at all. Most of our holiday participants have never held a spray can before. Our expert artists are brilliant at breaking down the process into easy, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and circles on practice boards before moving on to the main masterpiece. By the end of the session, even the most hesitant beginners are usually amazed at the high quality artwork they have managed to create.

What should the children wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you do not mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a messy business! It is also a good idea to wear closed toe shoes like trainers rather than sandals. Since Merida can get quite warm, light and breathable fabrics are best to keep everyone cool while they are busy being creative.

Can the children take their artwork home with them?

Absolutely! While the kids often work together on a large communal mural, we also ensure there is an opportunity for individual expression. Depending on the specific holiday package chosen, kids can often take home their own personalized canvas or a piece of the board they worked on. It makes for a brilliant souvenir of their holiday break and a great story to tell their friends when school starts again.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard school holiday session usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice, and the creation of a final piece. We find this timing is perfect for keeping energy levels high and engagement focused without the children getting tired. We can also adapt the duration for larger holiday camp groups if required.

What happens if it rains or an artist is sick?

We have a very reliable booking system with backup artists always on standby. This means we almost never cancel a workshop due to staff illness. In the event of heavy rain in Merida, we try to move the session to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with professional ventilation. We are committed to making sure your holiday plans go off without a hitch, no matter what the weather does!
