How it works
- Introduction & History: We kick things off with a high-energy intro to the world of street art, explaining its roots and how it evolved into a respected art form.
- Safety First: Students get kitted out in masks, gloves, and aprons while our pros explain how to handle the equipment safely and responsibly.
- The Masterclass: Our artists demonstrate essential techniques, from 'fading' and 'outlining' to creating those iconic 3D effects.
- Sketching Designs: Students grab paper and pencils to brainstorm their ideas, focusing on the day's theme or their own personal 'tags'.
- Practice Runs: Before hitting the main wall, everyone gets a chance to practice their 'can control' on a trial surface to build confidence.
- The Main Event: The real fun begins! Students work together or individually to bring their large-scale colourful mural to life.
- Final Flourishes: Our artists help students add those crisp final touches and highlights that make the artwork pop off the wall.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for students and staff? Quick answer: Yes! 🛡️
Safety is our top priority! We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including FFP2 masks, gloves, and aprons. Our professional artists are experienced in working with school groups and provide clear safety briefings before any cans are shaken. We ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated or held outdoors to keep everyone breathing easy while they create their masterpieces.🎨
What is the minimum age for participants? 👶 🎓
We typically recommend our school workshops for students aged 10 and up, as handling the spray cans requires a certain level of motor skill and finger strength. However, we can adapt sessions for younger children using water-based paint markers or simplified techniques. Whether it's a primary school class or a group of university students, we tailor the complexity to suit the age group perfectly! ✨
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop? 🌧️
Don't worry about the weather! While we love working outdoors in the Beijing sunshine, we always have a backup plan. If the weather turns, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with adequate ventilation using low-odour paints. We also have a large team of backup artists, so your booking is guaranteed even if an instructor falls ill. ⛈️
Can we choose a specific theme for the artwork? 🎭
Absolutely! We love it when schools have a specific theme, such as 'Environmental Awareness', 'School Values', or 'Diversity'. Our artists can help the students design a mural that reflects your chosen topic. It’s a fantastic way to combine art with other subjects like History, Geography, or PSHE, making the learning experience even more impactful and memorable for the students. 📚
Do we come to you or do you come to us? 📍
We are totally flexible! We can bring our mobile setup directly to your school grounds in Beijing—all we need is a flat surface and some wall space (or we can bring our own wooden boards/plastic stretch-wrap walls). Alternatively, we can arrange for your group to visit a legal street art location in the city for a truly authentic experience. Just let us know what works best for your schedule! 🚌
How long does a typical school session last? 🕰️
A standard educational workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, technique practice, and the creation of the final piece. We can easily chop and change the timings to fit into your school’s lesson blocks or wrap it into a full-day 'Creative Arts' event if you're looking for something deeper. ⏳
What materials do we need to provide? 🖍️
We provide everything! Your booking includes all premium spray paint, caps (nozzles), protective clothing (masks, gloves, aprons), and the 'canvas' (whether that’s a wall, boards, or individual canvases for students to take home). We even handle the setup and the cleanup, so the school staff can just relax and watch the creativity unfold without worrying about the mess. 🎒
How do we book and when do we pay? 💳
Booking is easy and stress-free. Contact us with your group size and preferred dates to get a custom quote. The best part? There is no upfront payment required! You only pay after the workshop is successfully completed and your students are buzzing with excitement. We accept various payment methods to suit school procurement systems, ensuring a smooth process from start to finish. ✅
