How it works

- The tag name selection: Every child chooses their own 'street name' or tag to use for the day—this is where the true creativity begins!
- Nozzle mastery: Our artists demonstrate how to control the pressure, distance, and angle of the spray can to get different lines and effects.
- Practice session: Kids head to a practice board to get a feel for the paint, practicing circles, squares, and their new signatures.
- Concept sketching: We help the kids sketch out their 'masterpiece' design on their individual canvases or a large group mural.
- Filling and fading: Now the color comes in! We teach them how to fill in large areas and create cool color gradients (fades).
- Outlining and highlights: To make the art pop, we add Sharpie-style outlines and white 'shine' highlights for that professional 3D look.
- Character or stencil work: Depending on the theme, we add cool stencils or funny characters to finalize the piece.
- The grand reveal: We take a group photo with all the finished artwork and celebrate the new Philadelphia street art legends!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for young children?
Absolutely! We prioritize safety above all else. We provide high-quality gloves, masks, and protective ponchos for every child to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. Our spray paints are low-odor and we always work in well-ventilated areas. Our professional instructors are also experts at managing energetic groups, ensuring every child follows safety rules while still having the absolute time of their lives. Your kids are in great hands!
What should the kids wear to the party?
While we provide protective ponchos, we highly recommend that kids wear 'play clothes' that you don't mind getting a little messy. Graffiti is an active, hands-on art form, and sometimes the excitement leads to a stray drip or two! Comfortable sneakers are a must since we will be standing and moving around our canvases throughout the session. Don't worry—most of the paint stays on the wall or the board!
What is the minimum age for a graffiti party?
We typically recommend our graffiti workshops for children aged 6 and up. At this age, they have the hand strength to press the spray caps and the focus to follow the basic techniques. For younger kids, we can adapt the session with more stencil work or paint markers to ensure everyone can participate. It's all about making sure every little artist feels successful and proud of their work.
Where in Philadelphia do the workshops take place?
We can host the party at various curated street-art friendly locations around Philadelphia, or we can come to you! If you have a backyard or a large driveway, our mobile team can set up professional plastic masking and portable boards to turn your home into a temporary street art gallery. If you don't have a space, just ask us—we have several 'secret spots' across the city we love to use.
Do the kids need to be good at drawing or art?
No artistic talent is required! That is the beauty of graffiti—it's about expression, not perfection. Our professional artists walk the kids through every step, from holding the can to creating cool 'drip' effects and 3D shadows. We use stencils for younger kids to help them get great results instantly. By the end of the party, even the kids who claim they 'can't draw' will be amazed at what they created.
What happens if it rains on the day of the party?
In Philly, we have plenty of 'plan B' options! If we are scheduled for an outdoor session and the weather turns, we can often move to a covered outdoor area or an indoor studio space. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are very flexible with scheduling. We always keep a close eye on the forecast and will coordinate with you 24-48 hours in advance if changes are needed.
How long does a typical birthday workshop last?
Standard workshops for kids usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This is the 'sweet spot' where energy stays high and focus remains sharp. This includes the introduction, practice time, the main project, and a final 'gallery walk' where the kids show off their work. We can also customize the duration if you have other party activities planned like cake or presents immediately after the spraying!
