How it works

  1. Introduction & safety: We kick things off with a high-energy intro to street art culture and a vital safety briefing on how to use our professional gear properly. 🎨
  2. Sketching the vision: Kids grab markers and paper to sketch out their ideas, learning how to structure letters and choose a vibrant colour palette.
  3. Can control basics: Before hitting the big wall, we teach the "nozzle basics"—learning how to create thin lines, thick fills, and smooth gradients with the spray can. 🔥
  4. Tagging practice: Everyone gets a chance to practice their chosen "street name" or tag, building confidence with the tool and finding their unique style.
  5. The masterpiece begins: We move to the main canvas or wall where the group starts layering their background colours under the guidance of our pros.
  6. Filling & fading: Students learn the art of "filling in" and creating those iconic street art fades that make the colours pop off the wall. ✨
  7. Outlining & highlights: This is where the magic happens! We add sharp black outlines and white highlights to make the artwork look three-dimensional.
  8. Group photo & cleanup: We wrap up with a massive group photo in front of the finished piece so the kids have a permanent memory of their holiday fun. 📸
  9. Takeaway art: If the workshop involves individual canvases, the kids get to take home their very own piece of Mbeya street art!

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children during school holidays?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority during our Mbeya workshops. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly. We also use low-odour professional spray paint designed for artistic use. Your kids are in safe, expert hands while they explore their creative side during the school holidays.

Do my kids need any previous drawing or art experience?

Not at all! Our school holiday workshops in Mbeya are designed for everyone, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our pros will teach your kids the basics, from how to hold a spray can to creating cool 3D effects and outlines. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before, and they always leave with a masterpiece they are proud of.

What should the kids wear to the Mbeya graffiti session?

We recommend that participants wear old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy when the creativity starts flowing! It’s best to dress for a fun, hands-on outdoor activity so the kids can focus entirely on their art without worrying about their designer gear.

How long does the school holiday workshop last?

Our standard school holiday sessions in Mbeya typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of time to learn the essential techniques, practice some 'tagging', and then complete a final group or individual project. We find this duration keeps energy levels high and focus sharp, ensuring every child stays engaged and has a blast from start to finish.

Where in Mbeya do the workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible! We can host the workshop at a vibrant outdoor location in Mbeya to give that authentic street art vibe, or we can bring the entire setup to your school, community centre, or youth club. We provide all the necessary protection for the surroundings, so whether it's on our mobile walls or a designated space, we make sure the magic happens safely.

Do I need to pay in advance to book a workshop?

We believe in total peace of mind for parents and organisers. That’s why we don’t require any upfront payment for our Mbeya school holiday bookings. You can secure your date and then pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. We want you to be 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. It's all about trust and fun!

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

Mbeya's weather is usually beautiful, but if it does rain, we have backup plans! We can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or use large indoor spaces with proper ventilation and protective floor coverings. We also have a network of backup artists available, so you never have to worry about a cancellation leaving the kids disappointed during their break.
