How it works

  1. Safety first: We start by getting everyone suited up in protective gear and explaining how to use the spray cans safely and responsibly.
  2. The perfect tag: Every artist needs a name! We help the kids design their own unique 'tag' or street art alias.
  3. Mastering the nozzle: We practice basic lines, dots, and 'fading' techniques on practice boards to get a feel for the pressure.
  4. Sketching the vision: Before hitting the main canvas, we sketch out our big ideas using chalk or light paint markers.
  5. Filling in: This is where the colour comes to life! We teach the kids how to fill large areas smoothly and create vibrant gradients.
  6. Outline and detail: Our artists show the group how to make their work 'pop' with sharp outlines and highlights.
  7. The final flourish: Adding those last-minute details like 'splatters' or 3D shadows to give the artwork a professional finish.
  8. Photo op: We finish with a group photo session in front of the finished masterpiece to capture the memories forever!

Frequently asked questions

Do my kids need any previous art experience?

No skills are needed! Our artists are experts at teaching beginners of all ages. We start with basic safety and nozzle control before moving on to more complex techniques. Your kids will be amazed at what they can create in just a couple of hours. It’s all about having fun and letting their imagination run wild in a supportive environment.

Is the spray paint safe for children to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks for every participant. Our aerosol paints are used in well-ventilated outdoor areas, and our instructors are trained to supervise children closely. We ensure everyone follows the 'spray safe' rules while having a total blast!

What should the kids wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little 'colourful.' Even though we provide protective suits, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves and shoelaces. Think of it as a badge of honour from a day of serious creativity!

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Lae is known for its tropical rain, but that won't stop the fun! We usually have sheltered outdoor areas prepared, or we can move the session to a covered indoor space with proper ventilation. We monitor the weather closely and will always make sure the kids stay dry while they paint.

Are all materials included in the price?

Absolutely everything is included! We provide the spray cans in a rainbow of colours, high-quality canvases or boards, safety gear, and expert tuition. You don't need to bring a thing except for some water to stay hydrated and plenty of energy. We take care of the setup and the cleanup!

What is the minimum age for the workshop?

Our school holiday workshops are most popular for children aged 6 and up. We tailor our teaching style to suit different age groups, ensuring the younger ones get more help with the cans while the teenagers can dive deeper into complex letter structures and shading techniques. It's a great multi-generational activity!

Can the children take their artwork home?

Usually, the kids get to take their masterpieces home! If we are working on small individual canvases, they can be taken away once dry. For large collaborative murals, we make sure to take plenty of high-quality photos so everyone has a digital memory of the massive artwork they helped create together.
