How it works

  1. Arrival and gear up: Our team arrives at your Port Elizabeth location early to set up the 'spray zone' and help the kids get into their protective overalls, masks, and gloves.
  2. The history of street art: We kick off with a short, high-energy intro about the world of graffiti and how it evolved from tags to massive murals.
  3. Mastering the can: The kids learn the 'can-trol' basics—learning how to create thin lines, thick fades, and cool dots.
  4. Sketching the vision: Every child gets a chance to sketch out their idea on their canvas, guided by our pro artists to ensure a great layout.
  5. Color selection: We bring a massive variety of vibrant spray colors so everyone can pick their favorite palette.
  6. The creation phase: This is where the magic happens! The kids start filling in their designs, layering colors, and adding their own unique flair.
  7. Adding the details: Like real street artists, we finish off with 'outlining' and 'highlights' to make the artwork pop.
  8. The grand reveal: We hold a mini-gallery showing where everyone gets to show off their work and take epic group photos!

Frequently asked questions

What is the best age for a graffiti birthday party?

The ideal age is 7 years and older. At this stage, kids have the motor skills to control the spray cans and the focus to follow the artist's guidance. We use special low-pressure cans for younger hands to make it easier and safer. If you have a mixed group with younger siblings, they are welcome to join with a bit of extra help from our team! 🎨

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep clothes clean. Our spray paints are water-based or low-solvent professional brands. The workshop is always led by an experienced professional who ensures the kids use the equipment correctly and stay in the designated spray zone. We make sure it's all fun with zero worries! ✨

What happens if it rains or is too windy in Gqeberha?

Absolutely! While Port Elizabeth is the 'Windy City', we have backup plans. We can host workshops at various indoor partner locations or use large canvases in a sheltered area. We also offer 'Graffiti on Canvas' sessions which are perfect for indoor setups. We always check the weather forecast in advance and coordinate with you to ensure the party goes off without a hitch! 🌦️

How long does the graffiti session last?

The workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides enough time for the introduction, practicing basic techniques, and then completing the final masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping kids engaged and excited without them getting tired. If you need a custom duration to fit into a wider party schedule, just let us know! ⏱️

Do the kids need to be artistic to enjoy this?

No experience is needed at all! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, how to control the distance, and how to spray a clean line. By the end of the session, even the kids who claim they 'can't draw' are always amazed at the professional-looking street art they've created. 🏆

Where in Port Elizabeth can the workshop take place?

We are very flexible! We can bring the party to your backyard or driveway if there is enough space and ventilation. Alternatively, we can recommend cool local spots and creative hubs around Port Elizabeth that are perfect for a street art vibe. Whether it's at your home or a dedicated venue, we bring all the necessary drop cloths and protection to keep the area clean. 📍

What do the kids get to take home?

Each child gets to take home their own individual masterpiece! We usually work on high-quality canvases or sturdy boards that they can hang in their bedrooms. It’s the ultimate party favor—something they actually made themselves and will keep for years. Plus, the birthday boy or girl often gets a special collaborative piece signed by all their friends! 🎁
