Each session lasts up to 1 hour, including time for a short introduction, hands-on art activities, and time to tidy up.

Question 3

How many children are in each session?

Accepted Answer

To keep things fun and focused, we’re limiting each session to a maximum of 10 children. This ensures plenty of one-on-one guidance from the artist.

Yes. Parents or guardians must remain with their child for the duration of the workshop. It's a great opportunity to see their creativity in action!

What kind of materials will the children use?

We’ll be using chalk-based spray paints, which are water-based and should wash out of clothes. That said, we recommend dressing in old clothes just in case!

Absolutely! Every child will receive a sketchbook to use during the session, which they can take home to keep the creativity going.

Question 7

Will my child’s artwork be used in the final murals?

Some of the designs from the sketchbooks will be digitalised and included in two permanent street art murals at Dalton Park. While we can’t promise every design will be used, all contributions help inspire the final pieces.

The workshops will be held at Dalton Park adjacent to the Guest Services office and the children’s play park.
