What is the minimum age for the after school graffiti workshop?

For our after school sessions in Amsterdam, we recommend children aged 8 and up. At this age, they generally have the physical strength to press the spray caps and the motor skills to control their designs. We use specialized low-pressure cans for younger groups to ensure they have the best possible experience without feeling overwhelmed by the equipment.

Is the paint safe for children to use?

The safety of your children is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or legal outdoor street art zones in Amsterdam. Every session is led by an experienced professional artist who supervises the group closely throughout the entire process.

Do the students need any prior drawing or art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our Amsterdam artists are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into simple, manageable steps. Whether a student is a natural-born illustrator or has never held a paintbrush, they will leave the session with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of.

Where do the Amsterdam workshops take place?

We are very flexible with locations. We can host the workshop at your school premises (if a suitable outdoor space is available), at one of Amsterdam's famous legal graffiti walls like NDSM Wharf, or at our own dedicated studio spaces. We'll work with you to find the most convenient and inspiring spot for your after school programme.

How long does a typical afternoon session last?

A standard after school session usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule to stick to, we can easily tailor the duration to fit your school's afternoon timetable perfectly.

What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

In the true spirit of Amsterdam's unpredictable weather, we always have a plan B. If we have planned an outdoor session and the weather turns, we can often move to a sheltered location or reschedule. We also have backup artists available on our team to ensure your workshop goes ahead even if an instructor is unwell.

How does the payment process work for schools?

No upfront payment or deposit is required to secure your booking in Amsterdam. We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. This makes the administrative process much easier for schools and parent committees, allowing you to book with total peace of mind.

Amsterdam isn't just about the Old Masters in the Rijksmuseum; it's a living, breathing canvas for modern street art. From the massive murals at the NDSM Wharf in Noord to the hidden gems in the Jordaan, the city is steeped in urban creativity.
