How it works

Intro and safety: We start with a high-energy intro to street art history and a vital safety briefing regarding gear and paint usage.
The 'Tag' creation: Every student learns to design their own unique tag on paper, focusing on letter structure and personal style.
First lines: Moving to the wall or canvas, students learn how to hold the can and create their first 'thin' and 'fat' lines.
Colour blending: Our artists demonstrate how to fade and blend colours together to create that classic professional graffiti look.
Outline and 3D: We guide the students through adding 3D effects and sharp outlines to make their pieces pop off the surface.
The final piece: Students work together on a large collaborative mural or finish their individual masterpieces with highlights and details.
Photo op and cleanup: We wrap up with a group photo in front of the art and ensure the site is left spotless and tidy.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP3 face masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep school uniforms clean. Our professional artists conduct a thorough safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a controlled and responsible environment for every student to enjoy their creative journey safely.

Do students need any prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from those who have never picked up a spray can to budding young artists. Our instructors guide the students through basic techniques like 'fats' and 'skinnies' before moving on to more complex styles. We focus on the process and having fun, ensuring everyone walks away with something they are proud of.

Where in Melbourne do the workshops take place?

We are completely flexible! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds in Melbourne—on a portable wall, a designated mural space, or large canvases. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at one of Melbourne's iconic legal street art locations. We bring all the necessary equipment to you, making logistics easy for teachers and staff.

How do you handle the topic of illegal graffiti?

While our workshops focus on artistic expression and technique, we also place a heavy emphasis on the history of street art and the importance of legal painting. We discuss the difference between tagging and mural art, teaching students to respect public spaces while providing them with a legitimate, creative outlet for their energy and ideas.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

Our standard secondary school sessions typically run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for a safety demo, a history lesson, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale masterpiece or individual canvases. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your school’s double-period blocks or elective afternoon schedules.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything! This includes premium low-pressure spray paint (which is easier for beginners to control), various nozzles (caps), protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. We also bring tables, floor protection, and cleaning supplies. The school just needs to provide an outdoor space and a group of enthusiastic students ready to get stuck in!
