How it works

  1. Intro and demo: We start with a high-energy demo where our pro artist shows off what’s possible with a spray can.
  2. Safety briefing: We kit everyone out in protective gear and explain the golden rules of the workshop.
  3. Technique training: Students practice the 'finer points'—learning how to do fades, outlines, and those iconic spray drips.
  4. Sketching the vision: Before hitting the wall, kids grab markers and paper to plan their symbols or letter styles.
  5. Background layers: We teach them how to fill large areas with vibrant colours to create a solid base for their art.
  6. Main piece creation: This is where the magic happens! Students apply their techniques to create their unique characters or tags.
  7. The finishing touches: We show them how to use highlights and 'power lines' to make their artwork pop off the canvas.
  8. Group photo and clean-up: We snap photos of the masterpieces and pack everything away, leaving the site exactly as we found it.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical after school session last?

Our after school workshops in Cuenca typically run for about 2 hours. This gives the kids enough time to learn the basic spray painting techniques, sketch their ideas, and complete a full masterpiece. We find this timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and creativity flowing without the younger artists getting too tired. We can also adjust the timing to fit your school's specific schedule.

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality, professional-grade masks and gloves for every student. We also use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for kids to control and produce less fumes than standard hardware store paint. Our instructors are trained to manage group safety and ensure everyone keeps a safe distance while painting. We recommend wearing old clothes, though, as graffiti paint can be a bit stubborn!

Does this workshop encourage illegal graffiti?

Absolutely not! We focus heavily on the history and culture of street art, teaching the difference between illegal 'vandalism' and professional 'mural art.' We teach our students that art belongs on designated walls, canvases, or permitted spaces. Our goal is to provide a positive, legal outlet for their creative energy and show them how their talent can actually improve a community rather than damage it.

Do the students need any prior drawing or art experience?

Not at all! Our professional artists are pros at working with all skill levels. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to draw a simple line. By the time we start on the final project, every student feels confident enough to make their mark. It's all about the process and having fun with colours, not about being a perfect artist.

What materials do we need to provide for the workshop?

We provide everything! This includes all the spray cans in a huge variety of vibrant colours, high-quality safety gear (masks, gloves, and overalls if requested), and the painting surface (usually large canvases or a temporary wall). You just need to provide the space and the kids! We even handle the setup and the cleanup, making it a completely stress-free experience for the school staff.

What happens if the artist can't make it or it rains?

We have a massive network of artists, so we almost never cancel. If an instructor falls ill, we have a backup ready to step in. Plus, you don't have to worry about paying anything upfront. You only pay after the workshop is successfully completed and the kids are happy. We want to make the booking process as risk-free and easy as possible for Cuenca educators.
