How it works
- Introduction & Theory: We kick things off with a high-energy intro about the history of street art and the difference between vandalism and urban art.
- Safety Brief: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear while we explain how to use the equipment responsibly.
- Sketching & Design: Before touching a can, students grab paper and pencils to map out their ideas, lettering, and characters.
- Nozzle Control: Our pros demonstrate 'can control'—teaching students how distance and pressure change the lines on the wall.
- First Lines: Students head to the wall (or panels) to practice their first 'tags' and basic shapes in a low-pressure environment.
- The Main Piece: Now the real fun begins! The group starts filling in their large-scale mural, focusing on layering and colour blending.
- Detailing & Outlining: In the final stages, we teach 'cutting' and outlining techniques to make the artwork really pop.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and safely. We also use low-odour paints whenever possible and choose well-ventilated outdoor areas in Takoradi to ensure a healthy environment for everyone involved in the creative process.
Do we need to travel to a studio, or can you come to our school?
We are totally flexible! We can bring the workshop to your school grounds in Takoradi if you have a suitable outdoor wall or open space. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at a local legal street art spot or provide mobile wooden panels that we set up and take away afterwards. We handle all the logistics, so you don't have to worry about the mess or the location.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our school workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives students enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tagging' and 'throwing', and ultimately collaborate on a large-scale mural. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, just let us know! We are more than happy to adjust the duration to fit perfectly into your lesson blocks or after-school activity slots.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our expert artists break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start by sketching ideas on paper before moving to the spray cans. You'll be amazed at how quickly students go from 'I can't draw' to creating vibrant, colourful street art. It's all about boosting confidence and discovering new ways to express individual personality through art.
What is the minimum age for students to participate?
We recommend a minimum age of 8 years old for our standard spray paint workshops, as the cans require a certain amount of finger strength and coordination. However, for younger primary students, we can adapt the session using markers or water-based decorative tools so they don't miss out on the fun. We tailor the complexity of the street art theory and the physical tasks to suit whichever year group we are working with.
What materials are included in the school package?
We provide everything! Your school doesn't need to supply a single thing except the students and the space. Every booking includes premium spray paint in a huge variety of colours, protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), caps (nozzles), and the surfaces to paint on. We even bring plastic sheeting to protect the floor if we are working near school buildings. It’s a completely hassle-free experience for the teaching staff.
Can this workshop help with team building among students?
Actually, graffiti is a fantastic tool for teaching teamwork and communication. We often structure our workshops so that students have to work together on a single 'production' or mural. They have to decide on a colour scheme, negotiate who paints which section, and ensure the pieces flow together. It’s a brilliant way to encourage peer-to-peer support and collective problem-solving in a high-energy, creative environment right here in Takoradi.
