Frequently asked questions
What age groups can participate in the graffiti summer camp?
Our Johannesburg summer camps are designed for youth aged 8 to 18. We group participants by age and skill level to ensure everyone feels comfortable and challenged. Whether they are primary schoolers or teenagers looking for a cool creative outlet, our professional artists adapt their teaching style to match the energy and capability of the group, making it a fun and inclusive experience for all.
Is the spray paint safe for children to use?
Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to every participant. All our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our professional instructors are trained in safety protocols and supervise the group closely at all times. We use premium spray paint brands that comply with safety standards to ensure a worry-free creative environment for your kids.
Do the kids need any prior art experience to join?
Not at all! Our summer camp is perfect for absolute beginners as well as young artists who already have some drawing skills. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, pressure control, and simple lines—before moving on to more complex techniques. Our mission is to build confidence and help every child discover their unique style, regardless of their previous artistic experience.
What should my child wear to the graffiti workshop?
We recommend wearing comfortable 'play clothes' and old sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gear, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! Jozi summers can be hot, so light, breathable clothing is best. We also suggest bringing a hat and sunscreen since we often work in outdoor or covered areas to ensure proper ventilation.
How does the payment process work? Do I pay upfront?
No upfront payment or deposit is required to book your spot! We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the session is complete. This gives you total peace of mind and flexibility. We accept various payment methods, and you can easily settle the balance once your kids have finished creating their masterpieces and you've seen the smiles on their faces.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
We keep a close eye on the Jozi weather! If heavy rain is forecast, we have several options. We can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area, reschedule to a better day, or provide a full indoor setup with specialized low-odour paints if the venue allows. Our backup artist system also ensures that your event goes ahead even if an instructor is unavailable, so the creative fun never stops.
