Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Absolutely! No prior art experience is needed to join our school holiday workshops in Port Elizabeth. Our professional artists are expert instructors who break down the process into simple, manageable steps. From holding the spray can correctly to mastering basic fading techniques, we guide every participant from start to finish. It’s all about having fun, being bold, and discovering a creative side you never knew you had!

Is spray painting safe for kids and teens?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves to all participants to ensure a safe environment. Additionally, we use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier for beginners and younger participants to control. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone follows the 'rules of the yard' for a worry-free creative session.

What should we wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on. While we do provide protective gear like ponchos or aprons, graffiti can be a messy business and paint occasionally finds its way onto sleeves or shoes. Think of it as a badge of honour! It’s best to dress comfortably so you can move freely while painting your masterpiece.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard Port Elizabeth school holiday workshops usually run between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of a large-scale piece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without anyone getting tired.

Where do the workshops take place in Port Elizabeth?

Most of our workshops are held outdoors at designated street art spots or in well-ventilated creative hubs around Gqeberha. If the weather doesn't play along, we have several cool indoor backup locations or we can set up undercover. We always keep a close eye on the PE wind and rain to ensure your experience remains top-notch and dry!

Can parents stay and watch the workshop?

Parents are more than welcome to stick around and watch the magic happen! In fact, many parents find the process so fascinating they end up booking their own session later. If you'd prefer to go grab a coffee at a nearby Boardwalk cafe, that's also fine—our workshops are fully supervised by professional staff to ensure a safe and fun environment for everyone.

Local culture

Port Elizabeth, or Gqeberha, is quickly becoming a hidden gem for South African street art. With the iconic Route 67 showcasing incredible public installations, the city is steeped in creative storytelling. Our workshops tap into this local 'PE vibe'—relaxed yet full of energy. We often host sessions near the creative hubs of the city, where the sea breeze keeps the inspiration flowing.

Fun Fact: Did you know that PE is home to one of the largest silver pipe sculptures in the world? Use that local scale as inspiration for your own oversized graffiti tags! 🌊 💪
