  • Unique & cool: Let's face it, nothing beats the "cool factor" of being a graffiti artist for a day! ⚡

How it works

  1. The warm welcome: Our pro artists meet the group and kick things off with some high-energy inspiration and a brief history of the culture.
  2. Safety first: Everyone gets kitted out in protective gear and learns the essential 'do’s and don’ts' of using spray cans.
  3. Mastering the nozzle: We start with 'cap control', teaching participants how to create thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
  4. Sketching the vision: The group works together or individually to sketch out their design on the wall or canvas using chalk or light paint.
  5. Initial outlines: Time to make it real! Participants trace their sketches with spray paint, getting a feel for the pressure and movement.
  6. The colour blast: This is the fun part where we fill in the designs with vibrant colours and learn blending techniques.
  7. Adding the 'pop': Artists guide the youth in adding shadows, highlights, and 3D effects to make the artwork jump off the surface.
  8. The final outline: We tidy up the edges with a final sharp outline to make the design look professional and polished.
  9. The big reveal: We step back, admire the collective masterpiece, and take plenty of photos for social media!

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and our professional artists supervise every second of the session. We use low-odour professional spray paint and conduct sessions in well-ventilated outdoor or large indoor spaces to ensure a healthy environment for all young participants while they explore their creativity.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our youth projects are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding artists. Our expert instructors break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to 'filling' and 'shadowing'. Everyone will leave feeling proud of the masterpiece they have created, regardless of their prior experience.

Where in Cali do the workshops take place?

We are fully mobile and can bring the workshop to your youth club, school, or community centre in Cali. Alternatively, we can help arrange a session at one of the city's legal street art hotspots to give the teens an authentic urban experience. As long as we have a suitable space and permission, we can make the magic happen almost anywhere!

What should the participants wear?

We recommend wearing 'adventure clothes'—things you don't mind getting a little paint on! While we provide protective overalls and gloves, spray paint can be unpredictable. Comfortable trainers are a must as participants will be on their feet, moving around their canvases. It is all about being comfortable while getting stuck into the creative process.

Are the materials included in the cost?

Everything is included in the price! We provide professional-grade spray cans in a huge range of vibrant colours, protective gear, caps (the nozzles that control the spray), and the surfaces to paint on (usually large wooden panels or canvases). You don't need to bring a single thing except your energy and a desire to learn something new.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard youth project workshop typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, some practice runs with the cans, and finally, the creation of a large-scale collective mural or individual pieces. We can tailor the duration to fit your specific schedule if needed.

What is the maximum group size for a youth project?

While we can accommodate very large groups by bringing in extra artists, we generally find that a ratio of one artist per 15-20 participants works best. This ensures everyone gets individual attention and stays safe. If you have a group of 50 or 100, no problem—we will just scale up our team to match your needs!
