Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional artists are experienced in working with school groups and provide clear safety instructions before any spray can is touched. We use high-quality paints and ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated outdoor environment or a dedicated legal graffiti zone in Amsterdam.

How long does a typical school session last?

Our school workshops in Amsterdam typically last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of theory, practice, and the final creative phase. We can adjust the duration slightly to fit your school's specific timetable or curriculum requirements. For larger groups, we often work in rotations to ensure every student gets plenty of hands-on time with the spray cans under expert supervision.

What is the maximum group size for a school workshop?

We can accommodate groups of almost any size! From small classes of 15 students to entire year groups of 100 or more. For larger groups, we bring in multiple professional artists and set up several workstations to ensure a high level of individual attention. If you're planning a large-scale school event in Amsterdam, just let us know and we will arrange the necessary artist backup.

Do we need to provide any materials ourselves?

No, you don't need to worry about a thing. We provide everything: premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective clothing, gloves, professional masks, and the canvases or boards for the students to work on. We even bring the inspiration! All we need from the school is a group of enthusiastic students ready to learn a new skill in the heart of the city.

Where in Amsterdam do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible when it comes to location. We often host workshops at legendary Amsterdam street art spots like the NDSM Wharf, which offers an authentic urban atmosphere. However, if your school has a suitable outdoor space with enough ventilation, we can often come to you. We'll discuss the best logistical options during the booking process to make it as easy as possible for your staff.

What age groups are these workshops suitable for?

Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible for various age groups, typically from primary school (ages 8+) through to secondary school and vocational colleges. We tailor our teaching style and the complexity of the techniques to match the age and skill level of the students. It's a fantastic way for teenagers to express themselves in a controlled, positive, and creative environment.

How does the payment process work for schools?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no cure, no pay' mentality regarding bookings. You don't need to pay anything upfront. We send the invoice after the workshop has been successfully completed. This makes the administrative process much easier for schools and educational institutions. Plus, we have backup artists available to ensure your event always goes ahead as planned, regardless of unforeseen circumstances.

Trin for trin

Introduction & History: We start with a brief, engaging history of graffiti culture and how it evolved into the modern street art seen across Amsterdam today.
Safety Briefing: Students are fitted with protective overalls, gloves, and professional masks while learning the 'golden rules' of using spray cans safely.
Basic Techniques: Our artists demonstrate essential skills, including how to create clean lines, 'filling' areas, and making smooth colour gradients.
Design Sketching: Students grab markers and paper to plan their masterpiece, focusing on letter structure, 'tags', and character concepts.
Practice Round: Before hitting the main canvas, students get to feel the pressure of the nozzle and practice their spray control on dedicated exercise boards.
The Big Creation: This is the main event! Students apply their designs to the boards, using their new skills to create a vibrant, large-scale piece of art.
Finishing Touches: Our professional artists help students add 'shines', outlines, and highlights to make their artwork really pop and look professional.
Group Review: We conclude with a gallery walk-through where students explain their work and celebrate the collective creativity of the class.

Godt at vide

Our school workshops are designed to be hassle-free for teachers. A standard session typically lasts 1.5 to 2 hours, though we can scale this for full-day art projects. We provide all professional-grade materials, including low-pressure spray cans (easier to control), protective gear, and canvases. Safety is paramount; we use specialised masks and ensure all locations are well-ventilated. We can host groups from 10 to over 100 students, utilizing a network of backup artists to ensure your booking is guaranteed. No matter the weather, we have various indoor and outdoor options across Amsterdam to keep the creativity flowing.

Lokal kultur

Amsterdam is a global hub for urban creativity, and there’s no better place to learn the craft than in the city that hosted some of Europe’s earliest graffiti pioneers. From the colourful walls surrounding the Olympic Stadium to the industrial, spray-painted playground of the NDSM Wharf in Amsterdam North, street art is woven into the city’s DNA. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, often taking place at these very sites to give students an authentic taste of the culture. We don't just teach art; we connect students to Amsterdam's living history, showing them how the city's creative spirit continues to evolve through the eyes of its underground artists.

Priser

We offer competitive and transparent pricing for educational institutions in Amsterdam. Our workshop rates generally range from €25 to €55 per person. This price is all-inclusive of materials, artist fees, and protective gear. The final cost depends on the total number of students, the duration of the session, and whether the workshop is held at one of our Amsterdam locations or your school grounds. Because every school project is unique, we recommend reaching out for a tailored proposal. Request a custom quote today to get the best rate for your group and secure your preferred date.
