- Skill Development: It’s not just painting; it involves planning, scale, colour theory, and fine motor control.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for every school workshop in Perth. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos to keep students safe and their uniforms clean. Our professional artists are experienced in managing groups and ensure everyone uses the spray cans correctly in well-ventilated outdoor areas. We handle the setup and pack-down, so teachers can relax knowing the kids are in safe hands.
How much does a school workshop in Perth cost?
The cost generally ranges between A$40 and A$90 per student. This variation depends on the total number of participants, the duration of the session, and whether we are working on individual canvases or a large communal mural. We strive to provide the best value for Perth schools and offer tiered pricing for larger year groups. Contact us for a precise quote tailored to your school's budget!
Where do the workshops take place?
We are fully mobile! Most Perth schools prefer us to come to them, as we can set up on school ovals, basketball courts, or any open outdoor area. However, if you'd prefer an excursion, we have access to several legal street art locations and studio spaces around the Perth CBD and Northbridge area. Just let us know which option suits your curriculum and logistics better.
How long does a typical session last?
A standard school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to street art history, a safety briefing, technique practice, and the completion of a final masterpiece. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your school’s double-period blocks or dedicate an entire 'arts day' to the project if you want a deeper dive.
What age groups are these workshops suitable for?
Our workshops are highly versatile and can be adapted for upper primary students (Years 5-6) all the way through to Year 12 ATAR Art students. We adjust our teaching style and the complexity of the techniques based on the age group. Whether it’s a fun reward day for younger kids or a technical skills-based workshop for seniors, we make sure the content is engaging and age-appropriate.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Rain is rarely a total deal-breaker in Perth, but we do have plans in place! If the weather turns, we can often move the workshop under a large COLA (Covered Outdoor Learning Area) or school veranda. If outdoor space isn't an option, we have backup dates available. Plus, because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel a session due to staff illness or scheduling conflicts.
Do the students need prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from those who have never touched a spray can to budding young artists. Our Perth-based street artists guide the students through every step, starting with basic lines and fading techniques before they move on to their final piece. It’s all about building confidence and showing students that everyone has a creative side to express.
