Is the graffiti workshop safe for children during the school holidays?

Absolutely! We prioritize safety above all else. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are professional artists who are experienced in supervising young people. We use low-odour professional spray paint, and we always ensure our Sheffield workshop locations are well-ventilated or outdoors to keep the environment safe for every participant.

Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our school holiday workshops are designed for absolute beginners as well as budding artists. Our expert instructors will walk 'Steel City' youngsters through everything from basic can control to advanced layering techniques. We focus on building confidence and having fun, so no matter their current skill level, they will leave with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of.

What should my child wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a little 'colourful'. While we provide full-body protective suits and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves! Please avoid wearing your brand-new designer gear. We provide all the professional equipment, including paint, caps, and canvases, so just bring your energy and creativity!

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Our public school holiday sessions in Sheffield usually last around 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of time to learn the history of street art, practice basic techniques on a practice wall, and then execute a final masterpiece on an individual canvas or shared mural. It’s an action-packed session that keeps everyone engaged from start to finish without getting over-tired.

What is the minimum age for participation?

Check-in with us for specific age requirements for each holiday program, but generally, our workshops are fantastic for kids aged 8 and up. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where they have the physical strength to press the spray caps and the focus to follow the creative steps. For teenagers, we offer more advanced technical tips to keep them challenged and inspired throughout the day.

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

Sheffield weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got it covered! We have access to various covered and indoor locations across the city. If we are scheduled for an outdoor session and the British weather doesn't play ball, we will move to one of our sheltered 'street spots' or indoor studios. Your creative experience won't be dampened by a bit of South Yorkshire rain!

Do the participants get to take their artwork home?

Yes! In our holiday workshops, participants usually create their main piece on a high-quality canvas or board. Once the paint is touch-dry (which happens very quickly), they can take their original artwork home to hang on their bedroom wall. It's the ultimate Sheffield souvenir—a custom piece of street art created by them! We also take plenty of photos during the session.

Step by step

Safety first: We start by getting everyone suited up in protective gear and explaining the golden rules of using spray cans safely.
The art of the 'tag': Kids learn the history of tagging and practice developing their own unique street name or signature style.
Can control 101: Our pros demonstrate how different distances and hand speeds create thin lines, fat drips, and soft fades.
Sketching the concept: Before hitting the main wall, participants sketch out their ideas on paper to plan their colours and shapes.
Background layers: We start the masterpiece by filling in the 'fill-ins' and creating vibrant, multi-coloured backgrounds.
Outlining and details: This is where the magic happens! We help the kids add sharp outlines and 3D effects to make their work pop.
The highlight: Adding those final white 'shines' and 'power lines' to give the artwork a professional, finished look.
Photo op: We capture the proud moments with a professional group photo in front of the completed Sheffield street art.
Clean up and gallery: We wrap up the session with a mini 'gallery walk' to admire everyone's unique creations before heading home.

Local culture

Sheffield isn't just known for its steel; it's a massive canvas for some of the UK's most iconic street art. From the legendary works of Phlegm to the colourful murals decorating the Kelham Island district, the city breathes creativity. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, drawing inspiration from the urban galleries found around Mary Street and the Howard Street steps. We love showing kids how Sheffield's industrial heritage has evolved into a world-class arts scene.

Fun Fact: Did you know Sheffield is home to one of the largest concentrations of artists in the UK? It's no wonder the street art here is so world-class! 🏆
