How it works
- Intro & Inspiration: We kick things off with a brief, high-energy look at the history of street art and how it evolved from tags to massive urban murals.
- Safety First: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear while we explain the "Golden Rules" of using spray cans safely and respectfully.
- Mastering the Can: Students head to the practice wall to learn "Can Control"—experimenting with distance, pressure, and different nozzle types to see how paint behaves.
- The Big Idea: Working in teams or as a class, students brainstorm a theme. In Tavua, this often involves mixing modern styles with local Fijian patterns or school values.
- Sketching the Vision: Before the paint flies, we map out the design on paper, ensuring everyone has a specific role in the upcoming masterpiece.
- Outline & Fill: The exciting part! Students begin "filling in" the larger areas of the mural, learning how to layer colours and create smooth gradients.
- The Finishing Touches: Our pro artists help the students add sharp outlines, "highlights", and those final details that make the artwork pop off the wall.
- Photo Ops & Wrap-up: We celebrate the students' hard work with a group photo in front of the final piece—a perfect moment for the school's social media or newsletter!

Frequently asked questions
Is the workshop safe for students and young children?
Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists lead a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, high-quality paints and ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated outdoor area or a specifically prepared indoor space. Our instructors are also experienced in managing large groups of energetic students safely.
Do students need previous art experience to participate?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, how to control pressure, and how to create simple lines. Our artists guide each student step-by-step. By the end of the session, even students who claim they 'can't draw a stick figure' are usually amazed at the vibrant, professional-looking mural they have helped create.
What materials does the school need to provide?
We provide absolutely everything! This includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), practice boards or large canvases, and all necessary caps/nozzles. We also bring sketching materials for the design phase. All the school needs to provide is an outdoor space (like a sports field or courtyard) and, of course, the eager participants ready to get creative!
How long does a typical school session last?
A typical school workshop lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to graffiti history, a safety briefing, technique practice, design sketching, and the final creation of the mural. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into a standard school day or double-period block if needed. We are flexible and can work around your school's timetable.
What happens to the artwork after the workshop?
The beauty of graffiti is its versatility! We can work on large wooden panels that the school can keep and mount on walls, or we can create individual canvases for students to take home. Sometimes, schools even invite us to paint a permanent mural on a specific school wall. We’ll discuss the best 'canvas' option with you during the booking process to suit your goals.
What is your cancellation and payment policy for schools?
We understand that school plans can change. That's why we don't require any upfront payment—you simply pay after the workshop is successfully completed. Additionally, we have a network of backup artists available. This means that even if a lead artist falls ill, your workshop will still go ahead as planned. We guarantee a 100% satisfaction focus for your peace of mind.
