What should my child wear to the graffiti workshop?

The spray paint we use is high-quality and fast-drying, but it can be stubborn on clothes! We provide protective ponchos and gloves for all participants in Trujillo. However, we still recommend wearing 'artist clothes'—items you don't mind getting a little splash of colour on. It's all part of the authentic street art experience!

Is the spray paint safe for children to use?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier for younger hands to control, and we provide all necessary safety gear, including gloves and masks if working in less ventilated areas. Our professional artists supervise the group at all times, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly while having a blast.

Do they need any previous drawing or art skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to budding mini-Picassos. Our artists start with the basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create simple shapes. By the end of the session, even those who have never touched a spray can will have created something they’re proud of.

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Our school holiday sessions usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives the kids enough time to learn the techniques, practice their 'tag', and complete a final masterpiece on a canvas or a designated wall. It’s a fast-paced, high-energy session that keeps everyone engaged from start to finish.

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

While we love the sunshine in the 'City of Everlasting Spring', we always have a backup plan. If the weather doesn't play ball, we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space using water-based paint markers or specialized indoor-safe aerosols. We make sure the creative fun doesn't stop for a bit of rain!

Can the kids take their artwork home with them?

Absolutely! Everyone gets to take home their own custom-made canvas. It’s a fantastic souvenir of their school holiday in Trujillo and a great way to show off their new skills to friends and family. It’s much better than a standard holiday postcard, don’t you think?

What is the minimum age for the workshop?

We find that ages 6 and up get the most out of the experience, as they have the hand strength to operate the spray cans. However, we can adapt sessions for slightly younger children using different tools. There’s no upper age limit—teens absolutely love the 'cool factor' of street art, making it the perfect holiday activity for all ages.

Step by step

Introduction to tools: Kids learn about different 'caps' (nozzles) and how they change the spray pattern from thin lines to fat fills.
The 'Tag' session: Every artist needs a name! We help the kids design their own unique graffiti tag on paper first. ✍️
Can control practice: Time to pick up the cans! We practice basic lines, dots, and fades on a practice wall to get the feel of the pressure.
Sketching the masterpiece: We move onto the main event—sketching out a larger piece or character on their individual canvases.
Filling & shading: This is where the magic happens! We teach them how to layer colours and add shadows for that 3D pop. 🌈
Outlining & highlights: The final touch to make the artwork 'pop'—adding sharp outlines and those all-important white highlights.
Photo op & wrap-up: We finish with a group photo of the new Trujillo street art crew and their incredible creations! 📸

Local culture

Trujillo isn't just about the incredible ruins of Chan Chan or the colonial charm of the Plaza de Armas; it's a city with a growing pulse of modern urban expression. From the colourful walls in Huanchaco to the emerging mural scenes in the city centre, the local 'Trujillanos' appreciate art that breathes life into the streets. Our workshops tap into this local energy, teaching kids that art isn't just something you see in a museum—it's something you live and breathe.

Fun Fact: Did you know Trujillo is the birthplace of the Marinera dance? Just like the dance, graffiti is all about rhythm, flow, and expressing your unique personality through movement! 💃✨

By bringing our workshops to Trujillo, we aim to inspire the next generation of Peruvian artists, giving them the tools to express themselves in a city that has been a cradle of culture for centuries.
