Frequently asked questions
Does my child need any previous art experience to participate?
Absolutely! No prior art experience is needed to join our Durban workshops. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Whether your teen is a budding Picasso or hasn't picked up a pen in years, we create a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable experimenting. By the end of the session, they'll be amazed at the masterpiece they've created from scratch.
Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in Durban to ensure proper airflow. Additionally, our instructors are trained in safety protocols and supervise the use of spray cans at all times to ensure a fun, hazard-free creative experience for all campers.
What should the participants wear to the workshop?
We recommend wearing comfortable, 'old' clothes and closed-toe shoes just in case! Even though we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy, and paint has a way of finding its way onto sneakers. Durbanâs summer heat can be intense, so lightweight clothing and a hat for outdoor sessions are also a great idea. Weâll handle the rest of the gear!
How long does a typical summer camp session last?
A typical summer camp graffiti session in Durban lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, sketching out ideas, and the actual painting process. We find this timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired in the South African sun. Plus, there is plenty of time for photos!
Are all the materials included in the price?
Our standard summer camp package is all-inclusive! We provide professional-grade spray paint in a massive variety of vibrant colours, protective gear (masks, gloves, overalls), high-quality caps (nozzles), and the surfaces to paint onâusually large wooden boards or canvases. We also bring sketching materials for the planning phase. You just need to bring the energy and maybe some water to stay hydrated during the Durban heat!
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Durban's weather can be unpredictable, but weâve got it covered. If the forecast looks rainy, we can usually move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or a well-ventilated indoor space. Because we have a team of backup artists and flexible logistics, we rarely have to cancel. We will always communicate with you ahead of time to ensure the workshop goes off without a hitch, rain or shine.
What is the minimum and maximum group size?
We offer great flexibility for groups! Our summer camp workshops generally start with a minimum of 10 participants to keep the vibe energetic, but we can accommodate very large groups of 50 or more by bringing in extra instructors. This ensures every child gets personal attention and guidance. If you have a specific group size in mind, just let us know, and we will tailor the setup perfectly for you.
