How it works

Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy intro, handing out protective gear and explaining the 'rules of the road' for safe spraying.
The Tagging Basics: Kids learn the history of 'tags' and how to create their own unique graffiti signature using markers and cans.
Can Control 101: Our pro artists demonstrate how to pull lines, create dots, and manage the pressure of the spray nozzle.
Sketching the Concept: Participants brainstorm their main piece, sketching out bold letters or characters onto their practice surface.
Filling & Fading: We teach the 'fill-in' technique, showing how to blend vibrant colours and create cool gradients (fades).
The Power of the Outline: This is where the magic happens! We show the kids how a sharp black or white outline makes their art pop.
Adding Special Effects: From 'highlights' and '3D shadows' to 'splatters', we add the professional touches that make the art look authentic.
Gallery Walk: We finish by lining up all the canvases for a group photo and a 'show and tell' session where everyone celebrates each other’s work.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum age for the school holiday workshop?

Ideally, children should be aged 6 and up to have the hand strength to operate the spray cans effectively. However, we offer specialized water-based pens and smaller cans for younger creative spirits. Our artists are experts at tailoring the complexity of the session to the age group present, ensuring that every child, from primary schoolers to teenagers, feels challenged and successful in their artistic journey. Safety gear is provided for all sizes!

Do the kids need prior drawing or art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to draw a simple line. By the end of the session, your child will have progressed to creating their own masterpiece. Our professional artists provide step-by-step guidance, making sure everyone feels like a pro by the time they finish their first piece. It's all about discovery!

Is graffiti painting safe for children?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and specialized FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure no fumes are inhaled. We prefer to work in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large open-sided pavilions. Our spray paints are professional-grade but used under strict supervision. We also have backup artists on call for every session, ensuring that the group is always well-monitored and safely guided throughout the creative process.

What should my child wear to the workshop?

While we provide protective suits and gloves, we always recommend that kids wear 'play clothes' that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. Graffiti paint is permanent once it dries, and while our overalls cover most areas, enthusiastic artists sometimes find a way to get a splash on their shoes or sleeves! Please ensure they wear closed-toe shoes (no sandals) for better stability and protection while moving around the workspace.

Do the kids get to keep their artwork?

Yes, they do! Every participant gets to take home their own individual canvas or board that they have painted during the session. It makes for a fantastic souvenir and a proud addition to any bedroom wall. For larger group murals, we take high-quality digital photos so everyone has a memory of the collaborative project. It’s a wonderful way for them to look back on their school holiday break in Mwanza with pride.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

The standard school holiday session in Mwanza lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides enough time for the initial safety briefing, practicing basic techniques, and completing a final masterpiece. For larger holiday camps or community events, we can extend the session or break it into multiple modules. We find this duration is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired.

How do we book and what is the payment process?

Booking is easy and risk-free! You can request a quote through our website or contact us directly. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed and you’re 100% satisfied. If you need to scale the group size up or down before the date, just let us know. We also have a 'never-cancel' policy thanks to our large network of backup artists available across the region.
