Is graffiti art safe for primary school children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective overalls, and gloves to every student. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated legal graffiti spaces in Bordeaux. Our professional instructors are experts at managing groups of primary-age children, ensuring that everyone follows safety protocols while having an absolute blast expressing their creativity with a spray can.

Can young children really handle a spray can?

Absolutely! We use professional-grade spray cans that are easy for smaller hands to operate. Our artists guide the children through the technical aspects, such as how much pressure to apply and how to hold the can correctly. We find that children aged 6 and up have the motor skills needed to create fantastic results, especially with our simplified stencil and fill-in techniques.

What materials do we need to provide for the workshop?

We take care of everything so you don't have to. The workshop price includes all professional spray paint, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the boards or canvases the children will be painting on. We also bring various caps for the cans to create different effects. All you need to provide is a group of excited students ready to dive into the world of art.

Do we come to your studio or do you come to our school?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at your school if you have a suitable outdoor space like a playground or a courtyard with good airflow. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at one of Bordeaux's iconic legal street art locations or a dedicated studio space. We'll discuss the best logistics with you during the booking process to suit your school's needs.

How long does a typical school graffiti session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This timeframe is perfect for maintaining the children's focus and energy levels. We begin with a brief history of street art and safety instructions, followed by practice sessions, and finally the creation of a large-scale collaborative mural or individual masterpieces that the students can be proud of.

What happens if the artist is unable to make it?

We pride ourselves on reliability. Because we have a large team of professional street artists across the region, we always have backup artists on standby. In the unlikely event that your assigned instructor is unwell, we will send another qualified professional to ensure your school event goes ahead exactly as planned. We haven't missed a session yet!

Do we need to pay anything upfront to book?

Not at all! One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'pay after' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront costs or deposits. You simply book the date, enjoy the workshop with your students, and we will handle the invoicing and payment after the event is successfully completed. This makes the administrative process much easier for schools and local councils.

Das Erlebnis

Choosing a graffiti workshop for your primary school is a fantastic way to engage students who might struggle with traditional art forms. Here is why our Bordeaux sessions are so popular:

Boosts confidence: Children see immediate, large-scale results, which provides a massive sense of pride and achievement.
Team building: Collaborative murals require students to communicate, share space, and work towards a common goal.
Physical engagement: Unlike sitting at a desk, spray painting is a physical, active way to create art that keeps kids energised.
Professional mentors: Our artists are not just painters; they are experienced educators who know how to inspire and manage young groups.
Stress-free booking: With backup artists and no-deposit bookings, we make the process easy for busy teachers and administrators.
Cultural relevance: We bridge the gap between 'vandalism' and 'art', teaching children respect for their local Bordeaux environment.

Schritt für Schritt

Initial consultation: Send us an enquiry and we will discuss your school's goals, group size, and your preferred dates in Bordeaux.
Design theme: We work with you to choose a theme—perhaps a school value, a curriculum topic, or a collaborative 'class mural' design.
Safety briefing: On the day, our professional artists start by teaching the children about safety, protective gear, and the importance of legal street art.
Can control: Students learn the basics of spray painting, including how to create lines, dots, and smooth colour fills using different nozzles.
Sketching: Under our guidance, the children help sketch the outline of their project on the chosen surface or work on their individual canvases.
The painting phase: This is the fun part! The kids get to work with a wide range of vibrant colours to bring their graffiti masterpiece to life.
Final outlines: Our artists help the students add sharp outlines and highlights to make their artwork really stand out and look professional.
Review and photos: We finish with a group photo and a 'gallery walk' where students can share what they've learned and admire their collective hard work.

Lokale Kultur

Bordeaux is widely known for its stunning 18th-century architecture, but beneath the classic facade lies a beating heart of modern street art. From the Darwin Ecosystem on the Right Bank to the vibrant murals found in the Chartrons district, the city has become a canvas for world-class artists. Our workshops tap into this local 'Bordelais' creative spirit, showing primary school children that art isn't just found in the Musee des Beaux-Arts, but all around them on the city streets. We take inspiration from the local urban landscape, encouraging students to appreciate the evolution of Bordeaux from a historic port to a dynamic hub of contemporary culture. It's about connecting the classroom to the very streets they walk every day.
