Do students need any prior art experience?

Absolutely! Our Newcastle university workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to seasoned art students. Your professional graffiti artist instructor will guide you through every step, starting with basic can control and safety. By the time we finish, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, even if you’ve never held a spray can before. It's all about having a go and enjoying the process!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a legendary session in the Toon. This includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, high-quality caps (nozzles), protective overalls, gloves, and masks. Depending on your choice, we provide either a large shared mural wall or individual canvases for students to take home. Just make sure everyone wears comfortable clothes and shoes they don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on!

How long does a typical session last?

Standard university workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the theory, practice their 'tagging' and 'piece' skills, and complete a final large-scale project. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into a specific lecture gap, a society meet-up, or an afternoon during Freshers' Week. Just let us know your schedule!

What is the maximum group size for a campus event?

We love a big Geordie crowd! We can accommodate anything from small society groups of 10 to massive campus-wide events with hundreds of rotating participants. For very large groups, we bring in extra backup artists to ensure everyone gets hands-on 'can time' and proper instruction. We pride ourselves on never having to cancel, thanks to our large network of pro artists.

Is the spray paint safe to use on campus?

Safety is our top priority. We provide FFP2/FFP3 masks and nitrile gloves for all participants. If the workshop is indoors, we ensure the space has professional-grade ventilation or use water-based, low-odour paints. Newcastle weather can be tricky, so we always have a plan B. If we are outdoors, we’ll make sure the area is cordoned off safely from the public.

Can we choose a specific theme for the artwork?

Definitely! We can tailor the entire workshop to a specific theme, such as 'Sustainability,' 'Mental Health Awareness,' or even your university’s mascot. It’s a fantastic way to create a permanent or semi-permanent piece of art that represents your student body’s values. Just tell us your ideas, and our artists will help the students bring that vision to life with style.

How does the payment process work?

We strive for 100% satisfaction and genuine fun! To make things easy for student unions and university departments, we don't require any upfront payment. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully delivered. This takes the stress out of the booking process and ensures you are completely happy with the experience we provide on the day.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Newcastle university event? It’s more than just painting; it’s an experience that sticks with you long after the paint dries. ✨

Step by step

The introduction: Your pro artist greets the group and shares the history of street art culture.
Safety first: Everyone gets kitted out in protective gear and learns how to use the equipment safely.
Mastering the can: We start with 'can control'—learning how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth fills.
Sketching the vision: Students brainstorm ideas and sketch out their design on paper or directly on the wall.
First layers: The group starts filling in the large shapes and background colours of the mural.
Adding the 'pop': We move on to outlines and highlights to make the graffiti jump off the surface.
The finishing touches: Your artist helps with the fine details and 'sharpening' the edges for a professional look.
Photos and reveal: A final group photoshoot with the finished masterpiece for the uni social media pages!
