Do I need to be good at drawing to join a graffiti workshop?

No prior artistic experience is needed to enjoy our Birmingham street art workshops. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. Whether you’ve never held a spray can before or you’re a regular doodler, we’ll show you the techniques required to create something you’ll be proud of by the end of the session. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the creative flow.

What materials are included in the festival workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative. This includes high-quality spray paint in a huge range of colours, professional-grade masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvas or wall space for your session. All you need to bring is some comfortable shoes and your enthusiasm. We’ve got the technical side completely covered for you.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory masks for all participants. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying. We also conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large indoor spaces with proper air extraction to ensure a safe, comfortable environment for everyone involved.

Are these workshops suitable for children and families?

Absolutely! While street art festivals are high-energy, we can tailor our workshops for participants as young as 6 or 7 years old. For younger children, we focus on simpler techniques and use water-based paints where appropriate. It’s a fantastic way for kids to express their creativity in a large-scale format. We always ensure there is a high ratio of instructors to young participants for safety.

What happens if it rains during the festival?

British weather can be unpredictable, especially in the West Midlands! If we are outdoors and it starts to drizzle, we usually have gazebos or temporary shelters to keep the artists and the artwork dry. In the event of extreme weather, we always have a backup plan, which might involve moving to a covered location or rescheduling. We never let a bit of rain dampen the creative spirit.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

The duration can vary based on your needs, but a typical festival 'drop-in' session lasts about 20 minutes per person, while a full masterclass takes between 1.5 and 2 hours. At large Birmingham events, we often run continuous 'taster' sessions throughout the day so that as many people as possible can have a go at contributing to a massive collaborative mural.

How does the 'pay afterwards' policy work?

We offer total flexibility for your peace of mind. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your date. Payment is only required after the workshop has been successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% happy with the service and the experience. It’s our way of proving we are committed to delivering the best street art experience in Birmingham.
