Do I need to have any prior drawing or art experience?

Absolutely not! Our Manchester graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners who have never held a spray can to seasoned doodlers looking to level up. Our professional street artists will guide you through every single step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can create something that looks professional and punchy on the wall.

What should I wear to the workshop and do you provide gear?

We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. However, graffiti can be a bit messy, so we always recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on. Think 'creative comfort' rather than high fashion! We make sure the environment is safe and professional at all times.

Is the workshop safe for everyone to participate in?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary PPE, including professional-grade respiratory masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced artists who start every session with a comprehensive safety briefing. We ensure the area is well-ventilated and that everyone follows the correct procedures so you can focus entirely on having a fun, creative, and safe experience.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard public graffiti workshop in Manchester typically lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of the movement, practice your 'can control' on the boards, and then collaborate on a final masterpiece. If you're booking for a specific event or a larger group, we can adjust the timing to fit your schedule perfectly.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?

The British weather can be unpredictable, but we don't let a bit of rain dampen our creative spirits! We have access to several sheltered and indoor locations across Manchester where we can run the workshops comfortably year-round. If you've booked an outdoor session and the weather is truly miserable, we’ll work with you to move it to a covered spot or reschedule to ensure you get the best experience possible.

Can you host workshops for schools or large corporate groups?

Our workshops are incredibly versatile! We regularly host sessions for primary and secondary schools, corporate team-building days, stag and hen dos, and vibrant kids' birthday parties. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we can accommodate groups of almost any size. Each workshop is tailored to the specific age group and vibe of the party to make sure everyone leaves with a massive smile.

How does the payment process work and do I need to pay upfront?

We believe in total flexibility and trust. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your Manchester workshop. You can settle the payment after the session once you've seen how much fun everyone had! We accept various payment methods, making the process as smooth as possible. We’re so confident you’ll love it that we focus on the experience first and the admin later.

Local culture

Manchester is a city that wears its heart on its walls. From the iconic murals of the Northern Quarter to the ever-evolving 'Out House' project at Stevenson Square, the city is a living gallery of street art. Our workshops tap into this rich industrial heritage and modern creative spirit, giving you a chance to join the ranks of those who have shaped the city's visual identity. We often find inspiration in the local "Worker Bee" symbol or the legendary Manchester music scene during our sessions.

Fun fact: Manchester’s Northern Quarter is so visually iconic that it's frequently used as a filming location for New York City in blockbuster movies and TV shows! 🐝

Our workshop prices are designed to be accessible while providing top-tier materials and professional tuition. Prices typically range from £25 to £55 per person, depending on the group size, location, and specific setup required.

Since every creative session is a little different, we recommend getting in touch for a tailored experience that fits your budget perfectly. Best of all? You don't pay a penny until the workshop is over! 🔥
