How it works

  1. Introduction & Safety: Meet your pro artist and get kitted out in protective gear. We start with a quick safety briefing and an intro to the culture.
  2. The Basics: Learn how to hold the can, control the pressure, and swap nozzles (caps) to get different line widths.
  3. Sketching Your Vision: Grab a piece of paper or use the wall to sketch out your initial ideas and 'tags'.
  4. First Lines: Take to the wall or canvas! You'll start by outlining your shapes with a light 'dusting' of paint.
  5. Filling & Fading: Learn the techniques for smooth fills and how to blend colours together for that iconic gradient look.
  6. Outlining & Details: This is where the magic happens. Use high-contrast colours to make your design pop and add sharp outlines.
  7. Adding Highlights: A few white or light-coloured flicks can add a 3D effect and make your street art look professional.
  8. The Big Reveal: Step back, take some photos, and admire the collective work of the festival participants.
  9. Clean Up: We handle the pack-down and ensure the area is left tidy, leaving only the beautiful art behind.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our Machala street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists will guide you through the basics of spray can control, lettering, and shading. You don't need to be 'artistic' to join in—we're all about teaching you the techniques so you can express yourself and have a blast in the process.

What materials are provided during the workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece! This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear some comfortable old shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for all ages?

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety gear, including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated and that everyone follows proper handling techniques throughout the festival event.

How long does a typical street art session last?

The duration of our festival workshops can vary, but typically a standard session lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice different nozzle techniques, sketch out designs, and complete a final piece. It’s a fast-paced, high-energy experience that fits perfectly into a busy festival schedule!

How much does it cost to book a workshop in Machala?

Because every festival and group is unique, our pricing is tailored to your specific needs. Factors like group size, the amount of paint required, and the duration of the event all play a role. We offer transparent, competitive quotes with no hidden fees. Plus, there is no upfront payment required—you only pay after the workshop is complete!

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

Rain doesn't have to stop the fun! If the weather looks dodgy in Machala, we always aim to have a backup plan. This could involve moving to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your event goes ahead smoothly regardless of minor scheduling hiccups or artist illness.

Can we customise the workshop theme for our event?

We love making festivals special! We can tailor the workshop theme to match your festival’s vibe, whether it's focused on local Machala culture, environmental themes, or abstract expression. We can also incorporate brand activations or community murals where everyone contributes to one giant piece of art. Just let us know your vision, and we'll make it happen.
