How it works
- Expert briefing: We kick things off with a cool intro about the history of graffiti and the difference between street art and vandalism.
- Safety first: Every student gets geared up with masks, gloves, and protective clothing to keep the paint on the art and off the uniforms.
- Design & Sketching: Learners start by sketching their ideas on paper, learning about "throw-ups," "tags," and "pieces."
- Mastering the can: We teach the "can control" basics—how to hold the spray can, how far to stand, and how to create thin vs. thick lines.
- The first layer: Students start applying their base colours to their canvas or the shared wall, learning about "filling" techniques.
- Adding style: Our artists guide the kids through adding shadows, highlights, and outlines to make their work pop with 3D effects.
- The finishing touch: Participants add their "tag" (artist signature) and clean up the edges of their masterpiece.
- Gallery walk: We finish with a showcase where students can explain their work and celebrate their classmates' creativity.

Is spray painting safe for school children?
Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to all students. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially prepared indoor spaces. Our professional artists are trained to supervise large groups and we only use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for younger hands to control, ensuring a safe and creative environment for everyone involved.
What age groups are these workshops suitable for?
Absolutely! We tailor our Pretoria school workshops based on the age group. For primary school learners, we focus more on simple shapes and bright colours. For high school students, we dive deeper into the history of street art, complex lettering techniques, and the transition from 'illegal' tagging to professional mural art. We ensure the tone and complexity of the session match your students' developmental stage.
Do we come to you, or do you have a studio in Pretoria?
We are fully mobile! While many schools prefer us to come to their premises (we use large plastic sheeting to protect your floors and walls), we can also arrange for the workshop to take place at a dedicated street art location in Pretoria. This gives students the chance to see professional works up close before they start their own masterpiece.
How much does a school graffiti workshop cost?
Prices typically range from R400 to R900 per student. The final cost depends on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and whether we are painting on individual canvases or a giant communal mural. Large school groups often qualify for better per-head rates. Best of all, you don't pay anything upfront—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed!
How long does a typical workshop last?
A standard educational session lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This includes the introductory talk, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creative phase. We can easily adapt this to fit into a double-period school block or a full morning art excursion. If you have specific scheduling needs for your Pretoria school, just let us know and we’ll make it work!
Do students need any prior art experience?
Not at all. In fact, most of our students have never touched a spray can before. Our artists are expert teachers who break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We help every student find their inner artist, and we guarantee that every participant will walk away with something they are proud of. It’s all about building confidence through creativity!
