What should students wear to the graffiti workshop?
While we provide professional-grade aprons and gloves, graffiti art can sometimes get a bit messy! We strongly recommend that students wear 'play clothes' or older school uniforms that they don't mind getting a little paint on. Our high-quality spray paint is designed to stay on surfaces, which means it can be tricky to remove from fabric once it dries. Dress for success and for mess!
Is the spray paint safe for younger students?
Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-odor, high-quality spray paints and provide all students with protective gloves and masks. Our experienced artists give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. Since most school workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated halls in Osaka, the environment remains safe and comfortable for all participants throughout the creative process.
Can you host the workshop directly at our school?
Absolutely! We offer flexible workshop locations. We can bring the entire 'street art studio' to your school grounds in Osaka—whether that's the playground, a gymnasium, or a parking area. If you prefer to get away from the classroom, we can also arrange for the workshop to take place at one of our dedicated creative spaces in the city. We handle all the logistics!
What is the minimum age for participants?
We typically recommend our school workshops for students aged 10 and up (late elementary through high school). At this age, students have the motor skills to control the spray cans effectively. For younger children, we can adapt the program to use more stencil work or specialized water-based markers to ensure everyone can participate safely and have a blast.
Do students need to have prior drawing skills?
No way! No prior art experience is needed at all. Our Osaka-based artists are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into easy, bite-sized steps. We guide students through everything from basic 'tagging' to creating 3D effects. Most students are shocked by how professional their final artwork looks by the end of the session. It's all about building confidence through creativity.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our standard school workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the safety intro, a history of graffiti culture, practicing basic techniques, and then creating the final masterpiece. However, we can easily shorten or lengthen the duration to fit your school's specific timetable or curriculum requirements. Just let us know what works for your schedule!
Do we need to pay in advance?
Unlike many other providers, we don't require any upfront payment to secure your booking. You can pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. We believe in the quality of our service and want you to be 100% satisfied with the experience before the final bill is settled. This makes it much easier for school administrative departments to process payments.
