Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide all secondary school students with high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits. Our professional artists lead a thorough safety briefing before any cans are shaken. We use low-pressure spray paint which is easier to control, ensuring a safe, supervised, and enjoyable environment for every student involved in the Edinburgh workshop.

Where in Edinburgh do the workshops take place?

We are fully mobile! While many Edinburgh schools prefer us to come to their premises to save on transport costs (we can set up mobile plastic walls or use your designated outdoor spaces), we can also arrange professional studio spaces or legal street art spots across the city. Just let us know your preference, and we will handle the logistics to make it happen for your group.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school workshop typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for the initial introduction, sketching, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, we are happy to adjust the duration to fit into your double periods or enrichment day schedule comfortably.

Do students need any prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from those who have never touched a spray can to budding young Van Goghs. Our expert artists guide the students through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. Every student will walk away having created something they can be genuinely proud of, regardless of their starting point.

What are the costs for a secondary school workshop?

Pricing in Edinburgh generally ranges between £25 and £55 per student. The final cost depends on the size of the group, the duration of the session, and whether we are working on a communal mural or individual canvases for students to take home. We pride ourselves on transparency, so there are no hidden fees. Contact us for a precise quote tailored to your school's budget.

What happens if we need to cancel or if the artist is ill?

We understand that school plans can change. That's why we don't require upfront payments to secure your booking. You can pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. Furthermore, we have a large network of backup artists in the Lothian area to ensure that even in the rare event of staff illness, your school event will always go ahead as planned. Fun is 100% guaranteed!

Intro and safety: We start with a high-energy intro about street art culture followed by a vital safety briefing and gear fitting.
Concept sketching: Students grab paper and pencils to brainstorm their tags and designs, learning about letter structure and flow.
First sprays: After a demo, students head to the 'wall' to learn basic nozzle control, making dots, lines, and fades.
Outline tech: Our artists show the group how to scale up their sketches onto the large-scale surface using 'skeleton' outlines.
Filling in: This is the messy, fun part! Students choose 3D colour schemes to fill their letters and create vibrant backgrounds.
Cutting and highlights: We teach the pros' secret: using 'cuts' to sharpen edges and adding white highlights to make pieces pop.
The final reveal: The group steps back to admire their collective masterpiece or individual works, perfect for a class photo!

Lokale Kultur

Edinburgh might be famous for its medieval architecture and the Royal Mile, but look closer at spots like New Street or the legal walls in Leith, and you’ll see a thriving, modern street art scene. Our workshops draw inspiration from the city's unique contrast between the historic and the contemporary. We celebrate the local 'Writer' culture while teaching students the importance of respect and legal boundaries in art. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Edinburgh is home to several "legal walls" where street art is encouraged? These spots serve as an ever-changing outdoor gallery for the city's most talented artists! 🏰

Preise

Our Edinburgh secondary school workshops are competitively priced to ensure every student can participate. Prices typically range from £25 to £55 per person, depending on the number of participants and the specific project requirements (like a permanent mural vs. temporary boards).

We believe in total flexibility for schools: No upfront payment is required—you only pay once the spray paint has dried and the smiles are out! 🏆
