Is this workshop suitable for complete beginners?

Absolutely! Most of our guests have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques like shading and highlighting. You'll be amazed at the high-quality piece of art you'll create by the end of the session. We provide a supportive, judgment-free environment where everyone can unleash their inner Banksy!

What safety equipment do you provide?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our spray paints are professional-grade but used in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing before we start, ensuring everyone understands how to handle the equipment correctly. We make sure the environment is controlled so you can focus entirely on the fun part!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable 'scruffy' clothes and closed-toe shoes. While we provide full protective gear including overalls, graffiti can be a messy business and there is always a small risk of a stray paint mist. It’s best to leave your favourite designer gear at the hotel just in case! If you have long hair, bringing a hair tie is a good idea, and don't forget your camera to capture the process and your final masterpiece.

Is the workshop accessible for people with disabilities?

Graffiti is a physical art form, but we can adapt our workshops to be inclusive for most abilities. If you have specific accessibility requirements or mobility concerns, please let us know in advance. We can arrange for seated segments or use specific areas of our Newcastle locations that are easier to access. Our goal is to make street art accessible to everyone visiting the Toon, regardless of their physical needs.

Do I get to take my artwork home?

For our tourist workshops in Newcastle, we typically use professional-grade wooden panels or large canvases. This means you aren't just painting a wall that will be covered over the next day; you are creating a portable piece of street art! Depending on the specific workshop package you choose, you can often take your smaller canvas works home with you as the ultimate Newcastle souvenir. For larger group pieces, we make sure to get high-resolution photos for everyone.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Newcastle can be a bit 'fresh' and rainy at times! We have a mix of outdoor and sheltered locations available. If the weather is looking particularly grim, we usually move the session to one of our covered spots to keep you and the paint dry. We rarely cancel due to weather, as the 'gritty' atmosphere often adds to the authentic street art experience. However, we always keep our guests informed if a location change is necessary.

The first layer: Start filling in your 'piece' with bold colours, learning how to layer paint without it dripping.
Details and outlines: Use high-contrast colours to add those sharp outlines and '3D' effects that make graffiti pop. ✨
The highlight: Add the final 'shine' and highlights to give your artwork depth and professional flair.
Photo op: Strike a pose with your finished masterpiece in front of Newcastle's urban backdrop for the ultimate holiday snap. 🏆

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Newcastle isn't just about the Tyne Bridge and nightlife; it's a massive hub for Northern street art! From the hidden gems in Ouseburn to the towering murals in the city centre, the 'Toon' is a canvas for world-class artists. Our workshops tap into this local energy, often held in areas where the industrial heritage of the North East meets modern creative expression.

Fun Fact: Newcastle is home to several 'legal walls' where the local council encourages street art, helping to create a constantly evolving outdoor gallery that changes almost every week! 🌉

During your session, we'll share stories about the local scene and show you why Newcastle’s creative spirit is just as strong as its footballing passion. It's the most authentic way to experience the Geordie "work hard, play hard" mentality through art.
