Is the graffiti workshop safe for high school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and overalls to keep students safe and their school uniforms clean. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups specifically in a secondary school environment, ensuring all spray cans are used responsibly and the creative environment remains inclusive and secure for everyone involved.

Do students need prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from those who have never touched a spray can to those who take art as a subject. We start with a comprehensive 'Graffiti 101' tutorial covering basic lines, fills, and fades. Our artists provide hands-on guidance, ensuring every student walks away feeling proud of their contribution to the final masterpiece.

What kind of space does the school need to provide?

Ideally, we love working outdoors against a legal wall or on large mobile wooden panels. However, if the Port Elizabeth wind starts howling or rain moves in, we can move things into a well-ventilated hall or undercover area using low-odour water-based paints. We are flexible and will work with your school's facilities to find the perfect creative spot.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the final production of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your specific double-period or school gala day schedules.

Can this workshop be used for school team-building?

Yes, the workshop is an incredible tool for team building and boosting school spirit. We often design sessions where different grades or 'houses' work together to create a mural that represents the school's values or a specific theme like 'Unity' or 'Future Leaders.' It encourages communication, problem-solving, and a massive sense of collective achievement once the final piece is revealed.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We bring everything! This includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, various nozzle types (caps), protective gear, and the surfaces themselves (whether that's large boards or a pre-approved wall). Your school doesn't need to provide any art supplies—just the students and their energy. We even take care of the setup and the cleanup afterwards!

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We suggest a minimum of 10 students to get a good vibe going, but we can handle massive groups of over 100 by bringing in additional professional artists. For larger groups, we rotate students through different stations so everyone gets plenty of 'can-time' without it becoming crowded. We always ensure a high artist-to-student ratio for the best experience.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Port Elizabeth high school? It’s more than just a fun afternoon—it’s a powerful educational tool that resonates with Gen Z like nothing else. 🎤

Boosts creative confidence: Graffiti is intimidating until you try it! We help students overcome the "fear of the blank wall."
Encourages collaboration: Creating a large-scale mural requires communication, planning, and collective effort. 🤝
Vandalism prevention: By teaching the history and "rules" of legal street art, we encourage respect for public spaces.
Professional mentorship: Students get to work alongside active South African artists and learn about creative career paths. 🏆
Stress relief: The physical act of spray painting is a fantastic outlet for students to de-stress and express themselves.
Zero risk booking: With no upfront payment and backup artists ready to go, your school event is in safe hands.

Step by step

Technique demo: Our pro artists demonstrate 'can control'—how to create thin lines, fat fills, and smooth gradients.
Sketching the vision: Students grab markers and paper to brainstorm their tags or a collaborative mural concept based on your chosen theme.
First sprays: It’s time for action! Students head to the practice wall to get a feel for the pressure and flow of the paint. 🔥
The big project: Moving on to the main event, students begin layering colours on the final mural or individual canvases.
Detailing & outlining: This is where the magic happens! We teach how to use sharp outlines and 'shines' to make the art pop. ✨
Group reveals: We step back to admire the collective work, discuss the creative process, and take photos for the school social media.

Local culture

Port Elizabeth, or Gqeberha, is a city defined by its grit and its beauty, much like the art of graffiti itself. From the iconic Route 67 art trail to the hidden gems in Central, the city is finding its voice through public art. Our workshops tap into this local 'Friendly City' spirit, encouraging students to contribute to the growing urban aesthetic of the Eastern Cape. We love seeing Port Elizabeth students incorporate local elements—like the Indian Ocean vibes or symbols of Nelson Mandela Bay—into their designs.

Fun Fact: Did you know Port Elizabeth is home to some of the most significant public art installations in South Africa? Route 67 features 67 giant art pieces, many of which use street art techniques to tell the story of the nation's journey to democracy! 🇿🇦

Pricing

Our workshop pricing is flexible to suit different school budgets and group sizes in the Eastern Cape. We aim to make street art accessible to all learners.

Estimated price: R400 - R900 per person

Please note that the final cost depends on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and the materials required (e.g., individual canvases vs. a collaborative mural). We offer special rates for educational institutions.
