Frequently asked questions
Is the workshop safe for students and teachers?
The safety of your students is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep school uniforms clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large, airy indoor spaces. Our lead artists are experienced in managing large groups of young people, ensuring a controlled environment where students can focus on the fun of creating art without any risks. We also provide full risk assessments upon request.
What kind of space do we need at our Liverpool school?
Ideally, we just need an outdoor wall or a well-ventilated space where we can set up our mobile wooden partitions or plastic sheeting. If your school doesn't have a suitable spot, don't worry! We have access to several legal street art locations across Liverpool where we can host the class. We bring all the materials—including the paint, boards, and safety gear—so you don't have to provide anything except the eager students!
What is the minimum age for students to participate?
We recommend our school workshops for pupils aged 8 and up (Key Stage 2 and above). At this age, students have the motor skills to handle the spray cans effectively and can truly engage with the artistic concepts we teach. For younger children, we can adapt the session with more focus on stencil art and markers, but the full 'spray experience' is usually best for juniors and secondary school students.
Do we need to pay for the school workshop in advance?
Not at all! You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. We believe in the quality of our service and want schools to feel completely confident when booking with us. Once the creative session is over and your students are buzzing with excitement, we will send over the invoice for payment via bank transfer or card. It’s an easy, stress-free process for your school's finance department.
Can we tailor the workshop to a specific curriculum theme?
Yes, absolutely! We love it when schools have a specific theme, such as environmental awareness, local Liverpool history, or even specific curriculum topics like the Romans or the Victorians. Our artists can design the workshop to include specific stencils or colour palettes that align with your current lesson plans. Just let us know your ideas during the booking process, and we will tailor the creative brief to match your educational goals.
What happens if the weather is bad or the artist is sick?
We understand that school schedules can be unpredictable. That’s why we have a large team of professional artists and backup experts ready to step in. In the rare event that an artist is unwell or can't make it, we have a 'no-cancellation guarantee' where a backup artist will take over. We ensure your school day stays on track and the students aren't disappointed. You can count on us to show up and deliver!
