Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Absolutely! Our summer camp workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Most of our young artists have never held a spray can before. Our professional instructors start with basic safety and nozzle control before moving on to letters and characters. We provide a supportive, low-pressure environment where Tokyo's youth can experiment, make mistakes, and eventually create something they are truly proud of. No prior drawing skills are necessary to have a blast!

Is graffiti art safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality, low-pressure spray cans that are easier for kids to control. Every participant is provided with a full set of protective gear, including gloves, masks, and aprons to keep clothes clean. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide constant supervision. We also ensure our workshop locations in Tokyo are well-ventilated and specifically designated for legal street art activities.

What should my child wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide protective aprons and gloves, graffiti is a physical and sometimes messy art form. Our spray paint is high-quality and permanent, so 'dress for a mess' is the best rule of thumb! We also suggest bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated during the Tokyo summer heat while working outdoors.

How long does a typical summer camp session last?

A typical summer camp session in Tokyo lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final group or individual masterpiece. We find this duration perfectly balances focused learning with high-energy creative fun without the kids getting fatigued in the sun.

Where do the workshops take place in Tokyo?

We offer great flexibility! We can host the summer camp at one of our dedicated legal graffiti walls around Tokyo, or we can bring the 'mobile graffiti wall' to your specific camp location, school, or community center. If you have an outdoor space with good ventilation, we can likely make it work. Just let us know your preferred location when you request a quote, and we will handle the logistical details.

What happens if it rains on the day of the camp?

In the event of typical summer rain, we have a few options. Many of our Tokyo locations have covered areas that allow us to continue safely. If the weather is too severe, we can move the session to an indoor space using canvases and water-based markers, or reschedule for a better day. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event goes off without a hitch!

Is there a specific age limit for the participants?

Our summer camp activities are generally best suited for youth aged 8 and up. At this age, children have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow safety instructions. For teenagers, we ramp up the technical difficulty to keep them challenged and engaged. We can tailor the curriculum to suit the specific age group of your camp participants.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Tokyo summer camp? It is more than just spray painting; it is a transformative experience that builds skills and memories. Here is why campers love it:

Confidence boost: Nothing beats the feeling of stepping back and seeing a massive, colorful piece you created from scratch. 🔥
Teamwork in action: Our large-scale murals require campers to communicate and collaborate to make a cohesive piece of art.
Authentic street culture: We teach the real techniques used by professional artists, giving kids a "cool factor" they won't find in a standard classroom.
Safe expression: We provide a legal, structured outlet for rebellion and creativity—turning energy into art.
Unique souvenirs: Whether they take home a canvas or a photo of a mural, they leave with a tangible reminder of their achievements. 🏆
Active learning: It is physical! Painting on walls keeps kids moving and engaged far more than sitting at a desk.

Step by step

Safety briefing: We kick things off with a vital safety talk, explaining how to use the gear and respect the environment.
Street art history: A quick, high-energy intro to the roots of graffiti culture from NYC to the streets of Shibuya.
Nozzle knowledge: Students learn about 'caps'—how different nozzles create skinny lines, fat flares, or soft fades.
Can control: Time to practice! Kids learn how to hold the can and move their arms to get smooth, clean lines on the wall.
Sketching the vision: Every great piece starts with a plan. We help campers sketch their ideas on paper or directly on the wall.
Filling and fading: Campers learn how to fill in their shapes and create cool 3D effects or color gradients.
The outline (The Power Line): The most satisfying part! Adding the final sharp outlines to make the artwork pop.
Detailing: Adding highlights, 'shine,' and 'bits' to give the piece that professional street art finish.
Photo op & cleanup: We celebrate the final masterpiece with a group photo session before packing up the gear.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours per session (customizable for your camp schedule).
Group sizes: We cater to groups from 10 to 100+ participants with multiple artists.
What is included: Professional spray cans, protective masks, gloves, aprons, and legal wall space (or mobile walls).
Safety first: We use high-quality, low-odor paint and provide safety gear for every single participant.
Flexibility: No upfront payment required—we trust our Tokyo community to pay after the fun is done.
Peace of mind: We always have backup artists ready to go, so your summer camp program is never interrupted.

Local culture

Tokyo is a global hub of creativity, but its relationship with street art is unique. Unlike the gritty walls of New York or Berlin, Tokyo's "graffiti" often blends with high-concept graphic design and the city's iconic pop culture. From the hidden gems in the backstreets of Harajuku to the organized mural projects in Tennozu Isle, the city is a living gallery. Our summer camp workshops tap into this local energy, teaching kids that art isn't just something you see in a museum—it is something you can build with your own two hands on the streets of your own city. 🗼

Fun Fact: Did you know that some of Tokyo's most famous street art is actually found on "shutter art" projects? Shop owners in neighborhoods like Shimokitazawa often commission artists to paint their shop fronts so the street stays beautiful even after the stores close for the night! 🎨
