How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

Most of our Nelspruit summer camp sessions last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the youth enough time to learn the basic strokes, practice their 'tagging' style, and complete a final masterpiece on a large canvas or designated wall. It’s the perfect duration to keep the energy levels high without losing focus, ensuring everyone leaves with a massive smile and a sense of accomplishment.

Is it safe for kids and teenagers to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean. Our spray paints are professional-grade but used in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are experienced graffiti artists who supervise the group closely, ensuring that the cans are used correctly and that everyone follows the safety protocols while having a blast.

Do the participants need any prior art experience?

Definitely not! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to create clean lines. Our Nelspruit artists guide the students through every step of the process. You’ll be surprised at how quickly the youth pick up the skills and start creating impressive street art.

What should the students wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable 'old' clothes and closed-toe shoes (like lekker vellies or sneakers). Even though we provide protective overalls, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy, and it’s better to be safe. Since Nelspruit can get quite warm during the summer, breathable clothing is a must. Don't forget some sunblock if we are working in an outdoor spot!

Where in Nelspruit do the workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible! We can host the summer camp at your specific location in Mbombela, or we can arrange a session at one of our partner creative hubs. We often work in open-air spaces or under shaded marquees to ensure great ventilation. Let us know your preference, and we will make sure the setup is perfect for your group's needs.

Do we have to pay in advance for the summer camp?

We believe in the quality of our service, so we don't require any upfront payments. You can settle the bill after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. This takes the stress out of the booking process and ensures that we are fully committed to delivering an unforgettable day for the youth.

What is the ideal group size for these workshops?

Our standard summer camp workshops are ideal for groups of 10 to 50 participants, but we can easily scale up for larger events by bringing in more artists and equipment. For smaller, more intimate sessions, just let us know. We tailor the artist-to-student ratio to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention to master their new skills.

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a warm Lowveld welcome, introducing the artists and gear. We suit up in masks and overalls to make sure everyone stays safe and clean.
The history of street art: A quick, vibey session on how graffiti evolved from subway cars to world-class galleries, giving the kids some context for their work.
Mastering the can: We teach the "can control" basics—distance, speed, and finger pressure. This is where the magic starts!
Sketching the vision: Participants grab paper and markers to plan their design. Our artists help them refine their ideas before moving to the big stage.
Outline and fill-in: It’s time to spray! The students start with their outlines and learn how to fill in large areas evenly with their chosen colours.
Adding the "flavour": We teach advanced techniques like fades, highlights, and 3D shadows to make the tags really pop.
The final outline: Using a contrasting colour to sharpen the edges and make the artwork look professional and crisp.
Group gallery & photos: We finish by admiring the collective work, taking plenty of photos for the 'gram, and celebrating the new crew of Nelspruit artists!

Local culture

Nelspruit—or Mbombela if you're keeping it official—is the gateway to the wild, but it's also a budding hub for local creativity. While the city is famous for its lush botanical gardens and proximity to the Kruger, the local youth culture is bursting with a desire for modern, urban expression. We love bringing our Nelspruit graffiti workshops to this part of the country because the heat of the Lowveld is matched only by the heat of the talent we find here! 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that the word "Mbombela" means "many people together in a small space" in siSwati? It’s the perfect name for our collaborative mural sessions where everyone works together to create something huge!

Whether we're setting up near the stadium or at a local school campus, the backdrop of the mountains and the warm Bushveld air makes for an incredible creative atmosphere that you won't find in the big metros like Johannesburg or Pretoria.
