Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum age for students to participate?

Generally, our school workshops are designed for learners aged 10 and up. At this age, students have the motor skills to handle spray cans effectively and can better grasp the safety protocols. However, we can adapt sessions for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or simplified techniques. Safety is our biggest priority, so we provide all necessary protective gear to ensure a creative and secure environment for everyone involved.

Do we need to travel to a studio, or do you come to our school?

While we love the vibe of Cape Town and Johannesburg, our team is fully mobile and ready to bring the spray paint to your school grounds in Polokwane! We typically set up on school sports fields or large paved areas. If your school doesn't have a suitable space, we can help source a local spot. We bring all the boards and protective floor coverings to ensure we leave the property exactly as we found it.

Is the spray paint safe for learners to use?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality, European-standard spray paint that is low-odour and safer than hardware store alternatives. Every student is equipped with professional-grade FFP2 respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep their school uniforms clean. Our artists lead with a comprehensive safety briefing, ensuring that every learner understands how to use the equipment responsibly and respectfully. No mess, no stress!

How long does a typical school graffiti session last?

The standard educational workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a final collaborative mural or individual canvases. We can also stretch the program over a full school day or even multiple days if the school wants to create a massive permanent mural on a specific campus wall. We’re flexible to your timetable!

How do we handle the payment for the school?

No upfront payment is required! We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the event has been successfully completed. We accept bank transfers (EFT) and provide full tax invoices for school accounting departments. Our pricing is transparent, starting from R400 per person, and we offer a Cost Calculator on our site so you can get an instant estimate for your specific group size.

Does the school need to provide any art supplies?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from the 'I can't draw a stick figure' student to the aspiring art prodigy. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We focus on 'controlled accidents' and creative expression rather than perfection. By the end of the session, every student is usually amazed at what they managed to create with just a bit of guidance.
