How long does a typical university graffiti workshop last?

Most university workshops in Port Elizabeth last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives your group enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their can control, and collaborate on a final large-scale masterpiece. If you have a specific time slot between lectures or during a rag week event, we can easily adapt the duration to fit your schedule. We’re flexible and focused on making it work for your campus life.

Do we need any prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners who have never touched a spray can to more artistically inclined students. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with safety and basic lines. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive once you learn the right techniques. It is all about having fun, getting messy, and expressing your unique vibe.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes high-quality spray paint in a variety of vibrant colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear like gloves and masks, and the canvases or surfaces you will be painting on. We suggest wearing old clothes and sneakers just in case things get a little messy—after all, street art is a contact sport! Just bring your energy and your squad; we handle the rest.

Is the spray paint safe to use on campus?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective masks and gloves to all participants. Our workshops are ideally held in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large indoor areas with proper airflow. Our professional instructors are trained to manage groups safely and will provide clear instructions on how to use the equipment correctly. We ensure a secure environment so you can focus entirely on the creative process and the fun.

Can you host the workshop directly on our university campus?

Absolutely! We offer flexible location options. We can bring the entire workshop setup to your university campus in Gqeberha, or we can host you at one of our local street art spots. If we paint on campus, we can use mobile wooden walls or large canvases to ensure no permanent damage is done to university property. It’s a fantastic way to bring a pop of colour and energy directly to the student union.

What is the maximum group size for a student event?

We can accommodate groups of almost any size! For smaller student societies or committees, we offer intimate sessions. For larger university events, festivals, or orientation weeks, we can scale up with multiple artists and larger painting stations. Whether you are 10 people or over 100, we ensure everyone gets enough 'can-time' and personal guidance from our pros. Just let us know your estimated numbers for a custom setup.

How do we book and when do we need to pay?

Booking is simple! Since we don't require upfront payments, you can secure your date risk-free. Simply reach out via our contact form or cost calculator to check availability for your preferred date in Port Elizabeth. Once we confirm the details and group size, your booking is set. You only pay after the workshop is completed and everyone is stoked with their art. This makes it easy for student treasurers to manage finances!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next university outing in PE? It’s more than just painting; it’s about making a statement and building a vibe that sticks. Check out why students love it:

Ultimate stress relief: Nothing beats the satisfying "hiss" of a spray can to forget about those looming deadlines. 🔥
Total inclusivity: You don't need to be an "art student" to kill it. Our pros ensure everyone creates something they’re proud of.
Insta-worthy results: Create a massive, vibrant backdrop that will make your social media feed pop. 📸
Zero risk booking: No upfront payment needed! We trust the student community—pay only after the spray.
Team spirit: Collaborate on a giant mural that represents your house, faculty, or society’s identity. 💪

Step by step

Introduction & safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick intro to the tools of the trade and the essential safety "dos and don'ts" for using spray cans.
Mastering the lines: Your professional instructor demonstrates basic techniques—dots, lines, and fades—to help you get a feel for the pressure and distance.
Sketching the concept: Grab some chalk or markers to outline your design. Whether it's a piece for your faculty or a wild abstract creation, we plan before we spray.
Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens! Learn how to fill in your shapes smoothly and create those iconic street art colour gradients.
The outline: Sharpen your work by adding a clean outline and "3D" effects to make your letters or characters pop right off the surface.
Adding the details: Use specialized caps to add highlights, shines, and those final intricate details that turn a sketch into a masterpiece.
The grand reveal: Step back and admire the collective work of your group. It’s the perfect moment for a squad photo in front of your finished wall.

Local culture

Port Elizabeth, or Gqeberha as we love to call it, is a city with a rapidly growing heartbeat of urban culture. From the mural-lined streets of the Baakens Valley to the creative hubs popping up in Central, the Windy City is finding its voice through vibrant street art. Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving students a chance to contribute to the city's evolving visual identity. We don't just paint; we connect with the local vibe and the unique coastal spirit that makes PE such a lekke place to live and study.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Port Elizabeth is home to one of the largest outdoor art galleries in South Africa? The Route 67 trail features 67 public artworks, many of which are inspired by the city’s rich history and diverse culture. It's the perfect inspiration for your own graffiti journey! 🇿🇦
