How it works

  1. Arrival and welcome: Meet your professional street artist at the venue and get an introduction to the vibrant world of Cape Town graffiti.
  2. Gear up for safety: We suit you up in protective overalls, gloves, and high-quality masks so you can focus entirely on the art. ✨
  3. The basics of spray control: Learn how to handle the can, understand different nozzles (caps), and practice making lines and dots.
  4. Sketching your concept: Use charcoal or chalk to map out your design on the wall or canvas before the paint starts flying.
  5. Fill and layer: Master the 'fill-in' technique and learn how to layer colours to create depth and pop in your artwork. 🔥
  6. Outline and detail: This is where the magic happens! Add the sharp outlines and 'highlights' that make your piece stand out.
  7. The finishing touches: Add cool effects like drips, splatters, or shadows to give your work that professional street art edge.
  8. Group photo and wrap-up: Pose with your masterpiece for the 'gram and celebrate your new skills with the team! 📸

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join a Cape Town workshop?

No prior artistic experience is needed at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from how to hold the spray can to advanced layering techniques. You'll be amazed at the high-quality piece you can create in just one session. We focus on fun and expression rather than technical perfection, making it accessible to everyone.

What should I wear to my graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, graffiti can sometimes be messy. Closed-toe shoes like sneakers are a must for safety. We also suggest bringing a hat and sunscreen if your workshop is held at one of our outdoor street art locations in Woodstock or Salt River.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide professional-grade respiratory masks, nitrile gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, and we use high-quality spray paint brands. Our instructors are also trained to manage the environment effectively, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the creative process in a safe, controlled, and professional manner.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Standard onboarding workshops usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This includes the safety briefing, technique tutorials, and plenty of time for your main creative project. If you have specific time constraints for a corporate event or a tighter schedule, we can easily customise the programme to fit your needs without losing the core 'wow' factor of the experience.

Can we host the workshop indoors if it rains?

Absolutely! Cape Town's weather can be unpredictable, so we have several indoor partner venues across the city. Whether it's a rainy day in the CBD or you prefer a studio environment, we can host the workshop indoors using proper ventilation systems. We also have mobile setups that allow us to bring the graffiti experience directly to your office or private venue.

How does the payment process work?

We are one of the few providers that offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. We trust in the quality of our service and want you to be 100% satisfied before we settle the bill. You can pay via EFT or card after the session. This takes the stress out of the booking process, especially for large groups or corporate teams.

What is the maximum group size?

We can accommodate groups of almost any size! For small groups of 5 to 10 people, the experience is very personal. For larger corporate events or team-building sessions in Cape Town, we can scale up to 100+ participants by bringing in additional professional artists. We maintain a high artist-to-participant ratio to ensure everyone gets the guidance and attention they need.
