How long does a typical street art workshop last?

Typically, a street art festival workshop in Sheffield lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives you enough time to learn the basic spray painting techniques, practice your 'tag', and complete a final masterpiece. We can also provide 'drop-in' style sessions for larger festivals in South Yorkshire where people can paint for 15-20 minutes at a time throughout the day.

What safety equipment is provided during the festival?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks to protect against fumes, as well as disposable gloves and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. All of our lead artists are experienced professionals who ensure the spray cans are handled safely, making this a fun and secure environment for everyone from kids to adults.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

The weather in Sheffield can be unpredictable, but the fun doesn't have to stop! We always have a backup plan. If your festival is outdoors, we can set up professional gazebos or marquee tents to keep the artists and the artwork dry. If things get really wild, we can often move the workshop to a nearby indoor community hub or sheltered area.

Can I join the workshop if I have zero art experience?

Absolutely! Whether you are a total beginner who has never touched a spray can or a budding illustrator, our Sheffield artists tailor their advice to your skill level. We start with the basics like 'fat caps' and 'skinny caps' and guide you through the process step-by-step. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you've created.

What is the maximum group size for a Sheffield street art event?

For festivals, we are very flexible! We can host small groups of 10 for a private session or manage hundreds of participants throughout a festival day using a rotation system. If you have a massive crowd in Sheffield, we can bring along additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets a turn to spray and no one is left waiting.

Do I need to pay upfront for the workshop booking?

We believe in a stress-free booking experience for our Sheffield clients. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. Simply confirm the booking with our team, and payment is only required after the workshop is completed and you're 100% happy with the result. This ensures you get exactly the high-energy, creative experience you expected.
