How it works
- Introduction & Safety: We start with a warm welcome and a quick briefing on how to use the equipment safely, including fitting masks and gloves.
- Cans & Caps: Kids learn about the different types of nozzles (caps) and how they change the spray pattern from thin lines to wide fills.
- Mastering the Flow: We head to the practice wall where everyone gets to try their first sprays, learning to control hand speed and distance.
- Sketching the Concept: Led by our pro artist, the group brainstorms ideas and sketches out their design on their individual boards.
- Outline & Fill: This is where the magic happens! Participants start spray-painting their main shapes and filling them with vibrant colours.
- Detailing & 3D: We teach how to add shadows, highlights, and 3D effects to make the graffiti "pop" off the surface.
- The "Powerline": For the final touch, we add a bright outer outline to sharpen the design and make it look professional.
- Photos & Gallery: We take group photos with the finished masterpieces—a great memory of a creative school holiday.
- Takeaway: Once the paint is dry, everyone packs up their custom artwork to take home and display.

What is the minimum age for the workshop?
For our school holiday workshops in Birmingham, we recommend kids be at least 6 years old. This ensures they can handle the spray cans comfortably and follow safety instructions. We offer lighter-pressure cans specifically designed for younger hands, making the experience accessible and fun. Our artists are fantastic at adapting their teaching style to suit different age groups, ensuring everyone from primary schoolers to teens stays engaged.
What should my child wear to the graffiti session?
We provide high-quality masks and gloves for every participant to ensure a safe environment. We also recommend that kids wear 'old clothes' that you don't mind getting messy. While the spray paint we use is professional grade, it doesn't always wash out of fabrics. Dressing for a bit of creative mess means your child can fully focus on their masterpiece without worrying about their outfit.
Is the spray paint safe for children?
Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide all necessary protective equipment, including FFP3 masks and nitrile gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Furthermore, our professional artists are fully DBS-checked and experienced in supervising groups of young people, ensuring a controlled, safe, and positive environment for every budding artist.
Do they need any previous art experience?
Not at all! Our school holiday workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create simple shapes. Our Birmingham artists guide the group step-by-step through the process. By the end of the session, even those who have never picked up a spray can before will have created something they are truly proud of.
Can the children take their artwork home?
Yes, at the end of our holiday sessions, every participant gets to take their own custom-designed piece home. Usually, we work on high-quality MDF boards or canvases that are easy to carry. It makes for a fantastic souvenir of their school holiday in Birmingham and a great addition to their bedroom wall. We just recommend letting the paint dry for a few minutes before transport!
What happens if we need to cancel or change dates?
We understand that school holiday plans can change. One of our unique benefits is that we don't require upfront payments—you pay after the workshop is completed. We also have a large team of backup artists in the West Midlands area, meaning we are extremely resilient to staff illness. If you need to reschedule, just let us know as soon as possible, and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
How long does a typical holiday session last?
A standard school holiday workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides plenty of time for a safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of a final piece. It’s the perfect duration to keep kids focused and energised without them getting tired. If you have a particularly large group or a specific project in mind, we can certainly extend the session time to suit your needs.
