- Safe spraying techniques: Students get a hands-on tutorial on how to handle a spray can safely, including 'can control' and how to achieve different line widths.
- Idea sketching: Everyone grabs a pen and paper! We help students sketch out their tags or mural concepts, focusing on letter structure and composition.
- Practising on boards: Before hitting the main canvas, students practiceleur basic techniques on practice boards to build their confidence.

- Adding the details: We teach advanced tricks like 'outlining', 'highlights', and 'shadowing' to make the artwork really pop.
- Final reveal & photos: We finish with a grand unveiling of the work. It's a great moment for group photos and student pride!

Frequently asked questions
Is the spray paint safe for school students to use?
Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces. Plus, our professional artists are trained to supervise groups, ensuring everyone uses the cans correctly and follows safety protocols. It’s all the fun of street art with none of the risk!
Can you tailor the workshop for different age groups?
Absolutely! Our artists are experts at adapting their teaching style for different ages. For primary school children, we focus on simple shapes, vibrant colours, and collaborative murals. For secondary students, we dive deeper into technical skills like shading, 'wildstyle' lettering, and the history of the art form. We make sure the content is age-appropriate and engaging for everyone involved.
Does the school need to provide any materials?
Not at all. We bring everything needed for a successful session, including premium spray paint, protective gear, practice boards, and canvases. We just need access to an outdoor wall or a designated space where we can set up our mobile boards. If your school in Cape Coast doesn't have a permanent wall for us to paint, we'll bring our own!
How long does a typical school workshop last?
We are very flexible! A standard educational workshop usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. However, we can also run 'taster' sessions for multiple classes over a full school day or even organise a multi-day project where we create a large-scale permanent mural on a school building. Just let us know your schedule, and we will make it work.
What is the maximum group size you can accommodate?
Usually, we work with class sizes of 15 to 30 students to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and spray time. For larger year groups or whole-school events in Cape Coast, we can send multiple artists and rotate groups throughout the day. This way, no one misses out on the creative action!
How does this fit into the school curriculum?
Graffiti is a brilliant tool for teaching art history, urban geography, social justice, and design. Many schools use our workshops to tackle themes like community, environment, or local Cape Coast history. It’s also a fantastic way to boost students' confidence and motor skills. We can easily align the workshop's theme with your current classroom curriculum!
