Is it safe for secondary school students to use spray paint?

Absolutely! We prioratise safety above all else. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our professional artists lead a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, professional-grade paints and ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor area to keep everyone breathing easy while they create.

Where exactly in Newcastle do these workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible! We can bring our mobile graffiti walls to your school grounds in Newcastle, or we can arrange for the workshop to take place at a local legal street art spot or a designated studio space. If we come to you, we take full responsibility for floor protection and ensuring No-Go zones remain paint-free. Just let us know what fits your school's logistics best.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard secondary school session usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the intro, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your specific school periods or run a full-day 'deep dive' project if you're looking for something more intensive.

Do the students need to have prior art skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from the 'I can't draw a stick figure' student to the budding art prodigy. Our artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We focus on the 'fun' and 'expression' parts of art, helping students build confidence as they see their work come to life on a large scale. Many students discover a brand new passion!

What happens if an artist is sick on the day?

We've got you covered! We have a large team of professional artists and backup experts ready to step in. We pride ourselves on reliability and have never cancelled a workshop due to artist availability. If your lead artist has an emergency, we dispatch a replacement immediately so your Newcastle school event goes ahead exactly as planned. Your schedule is safe with us.

What is included in the price per student?

Our pricing is transparent and all-inclusive. The quote you receive covers all professional spray paint, caps, safety gear (masks, gloves, suits), boards/canvases, and the expert tuition from our artists. There are no hidden fees. We even handle the setup and the cleanup! The only thing you might want to provide is some water for the students—creativity is thirsty work!

Do we need to pay everything upfront?

We understand that school budgets are managed carefully. That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront deposits or chasing finance departments for pre-payments. Once the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience, we’ll send over the final invoice for payment. It’s all about trust and making it easy for you.

The experience

Boosts confidence: Watch even the quietest students find their voice through bold, vibrant expression. 🎤

Real-world skills: Students learn about colour theory, composition, and the history of a global art movement. 🏆
Safe & Professional: We handle all the safety logistics so you can sit back and watch the magic happen. 💪

Step by step

The introduction: Our professional artist meets the group and introduces the history of street art, moving from 'vandalism' to high-end gallery art.
Design & brainstorming: Students work together to brainstorm themes, often focusing on school values or local Newcastle culture.
Safety first: Everyone gets kitted out in protective suits, masks, and gloves while learning how to handle the cans correctly.
First lines: We start with 'can control' exercises, teaching students how to create thin lines, thick fades, and sharp dots.
Background layering: The students begin applying the base colours to the mural, learning how to blend and transition between shades.
The main piece: Under the guidance of our pros, the students start filling in the main letters or characters of the design.
Sharpening the outlines: This is where the magic happens! We show them how to use high-contrast colours to make their artwork pop.
Adding details: Final highlights, shines, and 'bubbles' are added to give the piece a professional, 3D finish.
The reveal: The group steps back to admire their massive collaborative mural—perfect for a school photo op!

Good to know

Duration: Usually 2 to 3 hours, but we can scale up to full-day projects.
Group size: We cater for everything from small groups of 10 to entire year groups (up to 100+ students split into rotations).
Materials provided: Professional spray paint, specialized nozzles (caps), canvases or mobile walls, and full PPE (overalls, masks, gloves).

Local culture

Newcastle has a grit and a creative soul that makes it the perfect backdrop for street art. From the legendary murals in Ouseburn to the hidden gems around Gallowgate, the 'Toon' knows how to express itself. We bring that same Geordie spirit to your school, encouraging students to draw inspiration from their local surroundings—be it the architecture of the Quayside or the passion of St James' Park. 🏮

Fun Fact: Did you know Newcastle is home to several 'legal walls' where the local council encourages street art? It’s a city that recognises that today's tag could be tomorrow's masterpiece!

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our art. Depending on the number of students, the location in Newcastle, and the duration of the project, prices typically range from £25 to £55 per person. We believe in high-quality art being accessible to everyone.

Best of all? No upfront payment is required. You only pay once the workshop is finished and the students are buzzing with excitement! ✨
