How it works
- Introduction and history: We start with a brief, high-energy intro into the roots of Birmingham's street art scene and the culture of graffiti.
- Safety first: Get geared up with our professional masks, gloves, and overalls. We’ll show you the safe way to handle the cans.
- Mastering the nozzle: Learn the basics of 'can control'. You’ll practice making thin lines, thick fades, and clean dots.
- Sketching your concept: Grab a marker or a can and sketch your design onto the canvas. Our artists will help you with lettering and proportions.
- Fill-ins and fades: This is where the colour comes in. You’ll learn how to fill your shapes smoothly and create cool gradients.
- The power of the outline: See your work pop as you add sharp outlines. This step requires a steady hand, but we'll coach you through it.
- Adding highlights and details: Small touches like shines and 'cut-ins' make your piece look professional and three-dimensional.
- Final touches: Step back, review your work, and add those final artistic flourishes that make it uniquely yours.
- Photo session: We’ll take group photos and individual shots of your work so you can show off your creation to the world!

Pricing
Our Birmingham graffiti workshops are competitively priced to ensure everyone can join the movement. Prices generally range from £25 to £55 per person.
The final price depends on the number of participants, the length of the session, and whether you want your masterpiece on a portable canvas to take home. We believe in transparency and fairness, which is why we never ask for money before the event.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to have any artistic experience to participate?
Everyone is welcome! Our Birmingham graffiti workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners who have never held a spray can to experienced artists looking for new tips. We provide step-by-step guidance, so you don't need any prior drawing or painting skills. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the creative process in a relaxed, friendly environment.
What materials are included in the cultural event package?
We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece. This includes high-quality spray paint in a range of vibrant colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the boards or walls for the workshop. Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind potentially getting a tiny bit of paint on.
Is the workshop safe for participants?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and nitrile gloves for every participant. Our professional artists conduct a safety briefing at the start of every session, explaining how to handle the cans correctly. We also ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated, whether we are working outdoors or in a spacious indoor studio environment.
How long does a typical graffiti session last?
Most of our cultural graffiti experiences in Birmingham last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice before you complete your final piece. We can also tailor the duration if you have a specific schedule for your event.
Can you host the workshop at my own location in Birmingham?
While we often host workshops at legendary street art spots around Birmingham, we are also fully mobile. If you have a venue with suitable outdoor space or a very well-ventilated indoor area, we can bring the entire graffiti experience to you. This flexibility makes our workshops a fantastic addition to local festivals, community centres, or private gardens.
How does the payment process work?
We believe in a hassle-free booking experience. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. Once the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience, we will send over the invoice for payment. This ensures you can book with total confidence and peace of mind.
Are these workshops suitable for children?
Absolutely! While we love hosting adults and corporate groups, we also offer specialized workshops for kids' parties and school groups. Graffiti is a fantastic way for young people to express themselves and learn about urban culture. We use age-appropriate techniques and smaller cans if necessary to ensure everyone has a brilliant, safe time.
