Do we need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most university students in East London haven't touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering different nozzles. We focus on technique and confidence, ensuring that everyone walks away with a piece of art they're proud of. It’s all about the experience and having a blast with your mates.

What equipment is included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a killer session. This includes high-quality spray paint in a variety of vibrant colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or boards you'll be painting on. Just bring your energy, some old sneakers you don't mind getting a bit of dust on, and your creative ideas!

Is the graffiti workshop safe and legal?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control, and we provide all necessary PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) including FFP2 masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large industrial spaces to ensure proper airflow. Plus, our artists are trained to supervise groups safely while keeping the vibe upbeat and fun.

Can you host the workshop on our university campus?

We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop at various cool locations around East London, or we can bring the entire setup directly to your university campus or residence hall. As long as there is a suitable outdoor space or a very well-ventilated area, we can transform it into a pop-up street art studio for the day.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard university workshops usually last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a technical demonstration, practice sessions, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or a larger event like a 'Res-Week', we can adapt the timing to fit your program perfectly.

How does the payment process work?

We don't require any upfront payment to secure your booking. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This takes the stress out of the planning process for student committees and event organisers. Just book your date and we'll handle the rest!

Can we create one large mural together?

Yes, for sure! We love doing large-scale collaborations. While everyone gets to work on their own project, we often finish with a 'Big Wall' session where the whole group contributes to one massive mural. It’s a fantastic way to build team spirit and create a lasting piece of art that represents your university house, faculty, or society.

Local culture

East London (or 'Slums' as the locals affectionately call it) has a unique, laid-back coastal vibe that breeds a special kind of creativity. From the industrial textures of the harbour to the surf-centric culture of Nahoon, the city is a canvas waiting to be painted. While it might be smaller than Jozi, the street art scene here is growing, influenced by the city's grit and its gorgeous natural beauty. 🌊

Fun Fact: Did you know East London is home to the world's only dodo egg? While we won't be painting eggs, we draw inspiration from the city's quirky history and the vibrant 'Eastern Cape' spirit that defines our local art! 🎨

Pricing

Our university workshops are priced to be accessible for student budgets while delivering a premium experience. Prices generally range from R400 to R900 per person, depending on the number of participants and the specific setup (e.g., individual canvases vs. a massive communal wall). 💸

Because every uni event is different, we don't do 'one size fits all'. Whether you're 20 people or 200, we'll give you a deal that works for your budget.
