Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large indoor spaces with proper airflow. Our professional artists are trained to supervise students closely, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having a blast. We also use low-odour professional spray paint specifically designed for ease of use and safety.
What age groups are these workshops suitable for?
Absolutely! Our workshops are highly popular for Year 7 through to Year 12. We can adapt the curriculum to suit different age groups, focusing more on basic shapes and motor skills for younger students, or deep-diving into art history and advanced technique for senior art students. It’s a fantastic way to engage kids who might not usually enjoy traditional classroom-based art lessons.
What materials do we need to provide?
We take care of everything so you don't have to! We provide all the professional spray paint in a huge range of colours, high-quality canvases or boards, protective gear (gloves, masks, suits), and drop sheets to keep the site clean. All we need from the school is a suitable space and some enthusiastic students ready to learn. We'll even bring the inspiration and music to get the vibe right!
Will the spray paint leave a mess on school grounds?
Not at all. We pride ourselves on being 'leave no trace' experts. We use heavy-duty floor coverings and temporary wall structures or canvases if a permanent wall isn't being painted. We are extremely careful to ensure that the only paint that stays behind is the incredible masterpiece your students have created. We leave the site just as clean as we found it, guaranteed.
How long does a typical workshop session last?
We usually recommend 2 hours for a standard school session, as this gives students enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tag' or 'throwie,' and complete a final piece. However, we can condense this into a 90-minute session or expand it into a full-day intensive program if you're looking for a more in-depth educational experience for your students.
How much does a school graffiti workshop in Adelaide cost?
The cost generally ranges between A$40 and A$90 per student. This depends entirely on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the amount of materials used. For example, a whole-year-level event will have a lower price per head than a small specialist art class. Hit us up for a custom quote, and we'll find a package that fits your school's budget.
