How it works

  1. Introduction & safety briefing: Meet your pro artist and gear up with masks and gloves. Safety first, lekker vibes second!
  2. History of the craft: Get a quick rundown of how street art evolved from the streets of NYC to the walls of Pretoria.
  3. Mastering the nozzle: Learn the 'can-control' basics—how to hold the can and swap nozzles for different line widths.
  4. Sketching the vision: Use chalk or light spray to map out your design on the wall or canvas.
  5. Filling & fading: Dive into the colours! Learn how to fill large areas and create smooth gradients and fades.
  6. The outline: This is where the magic happens. Trace your design with a sharp outline to make the artwork pop.
  7. Highlights & 3D effects: Add those final touches—shading and 'shines'—to give your piece depth and professional flair.
  8. The big reveal: Step back, snap a selfie with your creation, and admire the collective Pretoria festival mural!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our festival participants in Pretoria have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, including safety and nozzle control, ensuring everyone feels confident. We provide all the gear and guidance needed to turn a blank space into a masterpiece, regardless of your previous art experience. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our spray paints are selected for quality and we always work in well-ventilated outdoor festival spaces. Our instructors are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring that the only thing you need to worry about is which colour to pick next!

What is the minimum age for participants?

For our festival workshops in Pretoria, we generally recommend a minimum age of 6 to 8 years old. Younger kids might struggle with the pressure required to press the spray caps. However, we love seeing families get involved together! For the little ones, we often have alternative street art activities like chalk art or sticker making so nobody feels left out of the creative vibe.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard festival workshop sessions usually last between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demo of basic techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time. If you are hosting a large-scale Pretoria festival, we can also run 'come-and-go' stations that operate throughout the entire day for maximum engagement.

What happens if it rains during the festival?

South African weather can be unpredictable, but the vibes must go on! If there is light rain, we try to work under gazebos or stretch tents. In the event of heavy storms or dangerous winds, we will coordinate with festival organisers to move to a covered area or reschedule. We always have backup plans to ensure your street art experience isn't washed away.

What do I need to bring with me?

You don't need to bring a thing! We provide the spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps/nozzles, protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on (whether it is a communal mural wall or individual canvases). We just recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of 'art' on, just in case!

How much does a festival workshop cost?

The cost for our Pretoria festival experiences typically ranges from R400 to R900 per person. This varies based on the number of participants, the duration of the event, and the amount of materials used. Because every festival has unique requirements, we recommend requesting a custom quote so we can tailor the package to your specific budget and vision.
