What is the minimum age for the school holiday workshop?

Our workshops are designed for ages 6 and up. We use smaller spray cans for younger children that are easier to grip, and we provide all the necessary safety gear like masks and gloves. Whether your child is a primary schooler or a teenager, our artists adapt their teaching style to match their skill level and attention span, ensuring everyone has a blast!

Does my child need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our school holiday workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create simple shapes. Our professional artists are there to guide the kids every step of the way, so even if they've never picked up a paintbrush before, they'll leave with a masterpiece they are proud of.

What should the kids wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, graffiti is a messy business and stray mist can sometimes find its way onto sleeves or trainers. Think 'artist chic'—comfortable clothes that allow for plenty of movement and creativity!

Is the spray paint safe for children to use?

The safety of our participants is our number one priority. We use high-quality, low-odour spray paint and provide professional-grade FFP2 masks to ensure no one is inhaling fumes. Our artists are experienced in managing groups of children and maintain a safe, supervised environment throughout the entire session. We also choose well-ventilated locations for all our Shenzhen activities.

Can we take the artwork home after the session?

Usually, yes! In our standard school holiday sessions, participants work on a shared canvas or a dedicated wall space, and we often provide individual canvases or boards that the kids can take home as a souvenir. It’s the perfect way to remember their creative holiday adventure in Shenzhen and show off their new skills to friends and family.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A typical school holiday workshop lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, practice sessions, and the creation of a final large-scale piece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired. Time flies when you're having fun with a spray can!

Where in Shenzhen do the workshops take place?

We have various locations across Shenzhen, including creative hubs near OCT-LOFT and outdoor spots. However, we are also fully mobile! if you have a specific venue in mind or want us to come to a community centre or school, we can bring the entire 'graffiti studio' to you. Just let us know your preference when you book!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next school break? It’s more than just painting; it's about expression, teamwork, and trying something completely out of the ordinary. Here is why our Shenzhen sessions are a must-do: 🔥

Unleash pure creativity: There are no 'mistakes' in graffiti, only 'happy accidents' and new styles to discover! ✨
Learn from the best: Our artists aren't just teachers; they are active street artists who live and breathe the culture. 🎤
Total safety: We provide top-tier protective gear and use professional-grade, kids-safe equipment. 🛡️
Unique souvenirs: Forget plastic toys; your child will leave with a custom piece of art or a photo of a mural they helped build! 🏆
Confidence boost: Seeing a large-scale project come to life gives kids an incredible sense of achievement and pride. 💪
Zero stress: We handle all the setup and cleanup, so you can just enjoy the creative vibes. 🎉

Step by step

Arrival and safety briefing: We kick things off with a warm welcome and a quick rundown on how to use the equipment safely and responsibly.
The artist's toolkit: Kids learn about different 'caps' (nozzles) and how they change the spray pattern from thin lines to fat fills.
Mastering the flow: We start with practice strokes on a practice wall, learning how to control distance and speed to avoid those pesky drips.
Sketching the vision: Once they're comfortable with the cans, we move on to sketching out the main design using light colours.
Filling and fading: This is the fun part! The kids learn how to fill in large areas and create cool gradient effects and colour blends.
The 'cut' and outlines: Our artists show them how to sharpen their work with crisp outlines and highlight 'pops' that make the art stand out.
Character and tags: Every artist needs a signature. We help the kids develop their own 'tag' to sign off their work in style.
Photo op and cleanup: We wrap up with a group photo in front of the final masterpiece before packing away the gear.

Local culture

Shenzhen has transformed from a fishing village to a global tech hub, but its soul is increasingly found in its burgeoning street art scene. From the quirky galleries of OCT-LOFT to the hidden murals in the Dafen Oil Painting Village, the city is a playground for visual storytellers. Our workshops tap into this local energy, encouraging kids to draw inspiration from the city's neon lights and futuristic skyline.

Fun Fact: Did you know Shenzhen is home to some of the world's most impressive "vertical gardens" and urban art installations? The city is literally a canvas where nature meets high-tech design!

We take the kids out of the classroom and into the heart of the "Silicon Valley of Hardware," showing them that innovation isn't just about chips and circuits—it's about bold ideas and bright colours. It's the perfect way to experience the creative side of Shenzhen's rapid evolution.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our art! Because the cost depends on your group size, the length of the session, and whether you want us to come to you or use one of our cool Shenzhen locations, we provide custom quotes for every booking. 📸
