  2. Safety first: Get geared up in protective overalls, gloves, and masks so you stay clean while getting creative.
  3. The basics: Learn about different nozzles (caps) and how they change the spray pattern from thin lines to fat fills.
  4. Practice runs: Have a go at 'ghosting' your movements and practicing your first lines on a trial surface.
  5. Sketching: Work with the artist to sketch out your design idea, focusing on letters, characters, or abstract shapes.
  6. Filling in: Start adding vibrant colours to your design, learning how to blend and fade like a pro.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most tourists who join our Adelaide graffiti workshops have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down the techniques into easy, bite-sized steps. We start with basic nozzle control and lines before moving on to more complex fills and outlines. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, even with zero artistic background. Graffiti is for everyone!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We've got you covered. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks to keep you and your clothes clean. However, spray paint is permanent and can be a bit 'adventurous,' so we still recommend wearing comfortable clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on. Avoid your favourite designer gear just in case! Safety and comfort are our top priorities while you get creative.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is a big deal for us. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control, especially for beginners. We also provide professional-grade respiratory masks and nitrile gloves. All our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Our instructors are experienced pros who will guide you on the 'do's and don'ts' of spray painting to ensure a safe, fun, and healthy environment for everyone involved.

How long does the workshop last?

A standard tourist workshop in Adelaide typically runs for about 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, a demo of different techniques, some practice time, and then the main event—creating your own piece on a canvas or a legal wall. If you have a specific schedule or want a longer session, just let us know and we can tailor the timing to suit your Adelaide itinerary.

What is the group size for the Adelaide workshop?

Our Adelaide workshops are super flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a group, a couple on a holiday, or a big family group, we can accommodate you. Small groups offer a more personal vibe, while larger groups are great for a high-energy social atmosphere. If you have a group larger than 20, we can even bring in extra artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of one-on-one guidance.

Do I get to keep what I create?

In many of our workshops, you'll be painting on high-quality canvases that you can keep. This makes for the ultimate Adelaide souvenir to take home! If the workshop is held on a legal street art wall, we’ll make sure to take plenty of professional-looking photos of you and your work so you can show it off on social media. For tourists, the canvas option is usually the most popular so you have something physical to pack.

How do I book and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is easy as! Just fill out our online request form with your preferred date, time, and how many people are in your crew. We don't require any upfront payment, which makes planning your trip stress-free. You only pay after the workshop is finished and you're happy with the experience. We'll send you a confirmation and all the details you need to find us in Adelaide. Simple!
