How it works

  1. Arrival and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick intro to the history of street art and a vital safety briefing including mask and glove fitting.
  2. The tag creator challenge: Students start by sketching their own 'tag' or nickname, learning the importance of letter structure and personal style.
  3. Nozzle knowledge: Our artists demonstrate different spray caps (nozzles) and how they control the width and pressure of the paint.
  4. First lines: It’s time to spray! Everyone gets a chance to practice basic lines, dots, and fills on a practice surface.
  5. Masterclass in technique: We teach more advanced tricks like shadows, 3D effects, and 'cutting' edges to make the art pop.
  6. The final concept: The group decides on a theme or a piece to create, whether it's individual canvases or a big collaborative mural.
  7. Painting the masterpiece: This is the main event where the students apply all their new skills to create a vibrant piece of street art.
  8. The big reveal: We finish with a feedback session and a group photo with the finished artwork—a moment of true pride!

Frequently asked questions

Do the students need any previous art experience?

No prior experience is necessary! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide the group through everything from basic spray can control to more advanced shading techniques. It's all about having fun and being creative in a relaxed, supportive environment. We focus on 'learning by doing', so everyone will feel like a pro by the end of the session.

Is the workshop safe for children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, to ensure the kids are well-protected. We also use premium spray paint that meets safety standards. Our instructors are experienced professionals who supervise the group closely, ensuring that the cans are used correctly and that everyone follows the safety guidelines throughout the entire session.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard after-school workshops usually last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of time to learn the techniques and complete a final masterpiece without the kids losing focus. However, we can also tailor the duration to fit your specific school schedule or extracurricular programme if needed. Just let us know what works best for your group!

What materials do we need to provide?

Everything is included! We provide all the spray cans in a vibrant range of colours, protective masks, gloves, and the surfaces for painting (usually large canvases or boards). We recommend that students wear 'work clothes' that they don't mind getting a bit of paint on, though the protective gear we provide does a great job of keeping them clean.

Are the workshops guaranteed to go ahead?

Absolutely! We have a dedicated team of professional backup artists ready to step in if anything unexpected happens. This ensures that your after-school workshop in La Paz never has to be cancelled. You can book with confidence knowing that we have the staff and resources to deliver high-quality street art experiences every single time.

Can the kids take their artwork home?

Yes, one of the best parts of our workshops is that students get to take their creations home! If the session is done on individual canvases, they make for incredible bedroom decor. For larger collaborative murals, schools often choose to display the final artwork in a common area or hallway to celebrate the students' collective creativity and hard work.
