Is the spray paint safe for high school students?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality FFP3 masks to filter out fumes, along with protective gloves and suits to keep school uniforms clean. Our professional artists conduct a thorough safety briefing before any cans are touched, ensuring every student understands how to use the equipment responsibly in a controlled, outdoor environment. We only use professional-grade spray paint brands that comply with safety standards.

Does this workshop encourage illegal graffiti?

Absolutely not! Our workshops focus on graffiti as a legitimate art form. We spend time discussing the history of street art and the importance of legal spaces versus illegal vandalism. By giving students a legal outlet for their creativity and teaching them the skills required for mural art, we often find they develop a deeper respect for public property and the discipline required to create professional-grade art.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard secondary school workshops in Cape Town typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the intro, safety briefing, sketching, and the actual spray painting. However, we are totally flexible! If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, or if you want a full-day intensive art programme, we can customise the duration to fit your timetable perfectly.

What materials do we need to provide? (Cape Town) scraps?

We’ve got you covered! We provide everything: hundreds of cans of professional spray paint in Every colour of the rainbow, caps (nozzles), gloves, masks, protective overalls, and the 'canvas' (usually large plastic film walls or wooden panels). All your students need to bring is their creativity and some old clothes just in case they manage to get a smudge of paint where it shouldn't be!

What if my students have no artistic experience?

Our workshops are designed for everyone, from the next Da Vinci to the student who can't draw a stick figure. Our pro artists guide them through simple techniques like 'flaring' and 'cutting' that produce impressive results quickly. We find that students who aren't usually 'good at art' often thrive in graffiti because it is so physical and forgiving. It’s all about the vibe!

What is the cost per student for a Cape Town workshop?

Our pricing in South Africa generally ranges from R400 to R900 per student. The final cost depends on the size of the group, the location of the school, and the specific materials requested (like individual canvases for students to take home). We pride ourselves on transparency, so we recommend requesting a custom quote for your specific group size to get the best possible rate.

Where do the workshops take place?

We come to you! Most our Cape Town school workshops take place right on the school grounds—on the sports field or a paved courtyard. This makes logistics easy for teachers. If you’d prefer to take the kids out for a field trip, we can also arrange sessions at various street-art friendly locations around the city or at our partner studios.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti experience for your learners? It’s more than just painting walls—it’s about confidence, teamwork, and finding a voice. Here’s why Cape Town schools love us:

Epic engagement: Even the most "too cool for school" teens get hooked once they feel the hum of a spray can in their hand! ⚡
Curriculum friendly: We can tailor the session to cover themes like social justice, identity, or specific Art & Design techniques.
Stress relief: Designing a large-scale mural is a fantastic way for students to de-compress and express themselves outside a desk. 🧘‍♂️
Pro-artist Mentors: Our artists are legends in the local scene and provide positive role models for creative careers.
Zero risk: With our "pay after the workshop" policy and backup artists, you can book with total peace of mind. ✅

Step by step

The intro & history: We kick things off with a high-energy look at the history of graffiti, from NYC subways to the streets of Woodstock and District Six.
Safety first: Students suit up in protective gear and learn how to handle the spray cans and nozzles safely.
Tagging techniques: Our pro artists demonstrate 'the tag'—the foundation of all graffiti. Students practice their handstyle on paper first.
Sketching the masterpiece: Students work in groups or individually to sketch out their "piece" (short for masterpiece), focusing on letter structure and 3D effects.
Can control: We move to the walls! Students learn how to control pressure, distance, and speed to create clean lines and smooth fills.
Filling & fading: This is the fun part! Students learn how to blend colours and create those iconic graffiti gradients and fades.
The outline: The moment of truth! We teach the students how to 'cut' their lines to make their artwork pop off the wall.
Highlights & details: We add the finishing touches—shines, 'forcefields', and character details that bring the whole mural to life.
The big reveal: We take a group photo with the finished work! It's a massive confidence boost and a great memory for the class.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 2 to 3 hours, but we can adapt to your school timetable.

Local culture

Cape Town is a global hub for street art, with world-class murals decorating the walls of Salt River, Woodstock, and the CBD. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, drawing inspiration from iconic local artists who use the city as their canvas. We don't just teach art; we connect students to the visual language of their own city, from the historic murals of District Six to the modern masterpieces of the International Public Art Festival (IPAF).

Fun Fact: Cape Town is home to some of the tallest street art murals in Africa! Many of these works carry powerful messages about conservation and social justice, showing students that art can be a tool for real change in the Mother City. 🇿🇦

Pricing

Our workshop prices in Cape Town generally range between R400 and R900 per person. This includes all premium materials and expert guidance from professional artists.
