How do you make the graffiti workshop accessible for different types of disabilities?

Absolutely! Our Leeds workshops are designed around the specific needs of each group. We take the time to understand mobility, sensory, or cognitive requirements beforehand. Whether it's providing seating, using low-pressure cans, or choosing a quieter location, our artists are experts at adapting the environment so everyone feels comfortable and ready to express themselves. Fun and inclusion are our top priorities for every single participant.

Is the spray paint safe for everyone to use?

Safety is our number one rule. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. For our special needs programs in Leeds, we also use water-based or low-odour paints whenever possible to reduce sensory overwhelm. Our professional artists provide constant supervision and clear, simplified instructions to ensure everyone uses the equipment safely while having the best possible time.

How long does a typical session last?

We usually recommend a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours for our special needs sessions. We’ve found this is the 'sweet spot' that allows for plenty of creative time without causing fatigue or sensory overload. However, we are completely flexible! If your group needs more frequent breaks or a shorter, high-energy session, we can tailor the schedule to fit your specific needs perfectly.

Can the workshop take place at our own facility in Leeds?

We can come to you! While we have great locations in Leeds, we often bring the workshop to day centres, schools, or community hubs. We use special mobile plastic 'walls' or large canvases to protect your property. This allows participants to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment while still enjoying the full, authentic street art experience without the stress of travel.

Do participants need to have any artistic skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are built for absolute beginners. Our artists guide the group through the basic 'tags' and 'throws' before moving on to a collective masterpiece. We focus on the process and the joy of creation rather than technical perfection. Everyone leaves feeling like a Leeds street art legend, regardless of their previous artistic experience or skill level.

What is the ideal group size for a special needs graffiti workshop?

We find that smaller, more intimate groups work best for our special needs programs—typically between 5 to 15 people. This ensures that every participant gets individual attention and support from our artists. For larger groups, we simply bring along more professional artists to maintain that high level of care and interaction. We never want anyone to feel lost in the crowd.

How do we book and what are the payment terms?

Booking is simple and stress-free. You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, then reach out to us via our contact form. Because we understand that plans can change, we don't require any upfront payment—you pay after the workshop is complete. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your Leeds event never gets cancelled.

Local culture

Leeds has a rich, soulful street art scene that stretches from the massive 'Athena Rising' mural at the train station to the hidden gems in the Northern Quarter. It’s a city that breathes creativity, making it the perfect backdrop for an inclusive art experience. We love bringing our workshops to this neck of the woods because the local community is so supportive of diverse talent.

Fun Fact: Leeds is home to the tallest mural in the UK! 'Athena Rising' stands at a whopping 47 metres high—that's a lot of spray cans!

Our workshops tap into this local energy, encouraging participants to feel like a real part of the Leeds art community. Whether we're working near the calls of the Corn Exchange or bringing the studio to a quiet suburb like Headingley, we make sure the spirit of Leeds shines through in every piece of art created.

Pricing

Our workshop prices typically range from £25 to £55 per person. This variation depends on the number of participants, the length of the session, and whether we're coming to your venue or you're joining us at one of our locations.

We want to ensure everyone has access to the arts, so we work hard to keep our special needs programs affordable and high-quality. Since every group has unique requirements, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all pricing.
