How it works
- Introduction & safety: We start with a high-energy intro to the world of street art and a full safety briefing on how to use the equipment properly. ✨
- The tag creator: Students get to experiment with my online 'Tag Creator' tool or sketch out their ideas on paper to plan their unique style.
- Mastering the nozzle: Our pros demonstrate basic spray techniques, such as making dots, thin lines, and 'fading' colours together.
- The first layer: Students start by applying the fill-in colours to their designs, learning how to cover large areas evenly.
- Outline & detail: This is where the magic happens! We teach the kids how to add sharp outlines and 'highlights' to make their art pop. 🔥
- Collaborative mural: If you've chosen a group project, the students work together to blend their individual styles into one massive, cohesive masterpiece.
- The finishing touches: Our artists help students add those final 'power lines' and splatters that give the work a professional street-art finish.
- Photo finish & cleanup: We wrap up with a group photo in front of the art and ensure all protective gear and materials are tidied away. 📸

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise large groups, ensuring everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We also use low-odour, high-quality paints to make the experience as comfortable and safe as possible for a school environment.
Can you host the workshop at our school campus?
We are completely flexible! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds (outdoors is best) or at one of our dedicated creative spaces in Shanghai. If we come to you, we take care of all the floor and wall protection to ensure we leave the place exactly as we found it—except for the beautiful new artwork on the canvases, of course!
How long does a typical school session last?
Usually, a school workshop lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, some practice rounds, and the final creation of the masterpiece. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your school's specific timetable or double-up sessions for larger year groups.
Do the students need to have prior drawing skills?
No artistic talent is required! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible for everyone. Our professional graffiti artists guide the students through easy, step-by-step techniques that yield impressive results quickly. It’s all about building confidence and expressing personal identity rather than being a 'perfect' painter. Every student will leave feeling like an artist.
What materials do we need to provide?
We provide everything you need. This includes all premium spray paint, protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), and the 'canvases'—which can be individual boards for students or a large collective mural on a professional plastic wall. You just need to make sure the students wear old clothes and bring plenty of creative energy!
What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?
Graffiti is a fantastic tool for education. It teaches students about colour theory, typography, and scale while encouraging spatial awareness. Beyond the technical side, it fosters teamwork, boosts self-esteem, and provides a unique outlet for communication. It's especially effective for engaging students who might struggle with more traditional, rigid academic subjects. It’s art with an edge!
How do we book and what is the payment process?
Booking is easy and stress-free. Simply fill out our contact form or use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. Plus, we have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation.
