Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our festival participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down the basics, from nozzle control to layering colours. We provide a safe, supportive environment where anyone, regardless of artistic ability, can create something they are proud of. It is all about having a go and enjoying the process!

What safety equipment do you provide?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designed festival spaces. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing before anyone starts spraying to ensure a fun, hazard-free experience for everyone involved.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and old trainers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide full-body protective suits, spray paint has a way of finding gaps! Since our Newcastle festival workshops often take place outdoors, please check the weather forecast and bring a jacket or sunscreen as needed. We'll handle the rest of the supplies!

How long does a typical festival session last?

Our standard festival workshop sessions usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives you enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice your 'tag', and complete a final masterpiece on a canvas or shared mural wall. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy high and creativity flowing without feeling rushed.

Is there an age limit for the workshops?

For our public festival setups, we generally welcome participants aged 8 and up. Younger children are welcome to watch, but handling the spray cans requires a certain level of hand strength and coordination. For school-specific events or private kids' parties, we can sometimes adapt the tools used. All minors must be accompanied by an adult during the festival.

What happens if it rains in Newcastle?

We are prepared for the British weather! If there is light rain, we often use gazebos or sheltered areas to keep the artists and the art dry. In the event of extreme weather that makes it unsafe to continue, we have backup plans and flexible rescheduling options. Our backup artist network ensures that your event isn't ruined by a single cancellation.

Do I need to pay upfront to secure my booking?

No, we believe in a 'fun first' approach. You can book your festival slot or private group session without any upfront payment. We want you to feel confident in our service. You simply pay after the workshop is complete and you're happy with the experience. It is part of our 100% satisfaction guarantee!

Can I take my artwork home with me?

If you are attending as part of a public street art festival, you'll usually be working on a shared mural or a personal canvas that you can often take home. For private festival-style bookings (like brand activations), we can arrange for specific boards or甚至 large-scale walls. Just let us know what you're looking for, and we will make it happen!

Local culture

Newcastle’s street art scene is as legendary as its nightlife! From the vibrant murals in the Ouseburn Valley—often called the city’s 'creative heart'—to the hidden gems tucked away near the Quayside, the city is a living gallery. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, drawing inspiration from the industrial grit and modern flair that makes Newcastle unique. We love working in a city where creativity is celebrated and the "canny" locals are always up for trying something new.

Fun Fact: Newcastle is home to some incredible legal graffiti walls where the art changes almost daily. Keep your eyes peeled near the Stepney Bank area—you might see a world-famous artist at work!
