How long does a typical after-school graffiti session last?

Our after-school sessions in Lille generally last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of time for students to learn the history of street art, practice their can control, and complete a final masterpiece without losing focus. We find this timeframe works best for maintaining high energy levels and ensuring every participant walks away with a finished piece they are proud of.

Is graffiti art safe for school-aged children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring that spray cans are used responsibly. We also use low-pressure cans which are much easier and safer for younger hands to control compared to standard hardware store paint.

Where in Lille do the workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible! Graffitifun can host the workshop at your school premises if you have a suitable outdoor wall or space. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at one of Lille's vibrant legal street art zones. If weather is a concern, we can even set up mobile cellophane 'walls' in a well-ventilated indoor sports hall or workshop space.

What is the ideal group size for an after-school workshop?

We recommend a minimum of 10 participants to get the best atmosphere, but we can accommodate much larger groups of up to 50+ students by bringing in additional professional artists. For very large after-school programmes, we split the students into smaller 'crews' to ensure everyone gets plenty of one-on-one coaching and enough time with the spray cans.

What should students wear and bring with them?

Students should wear comfortable clothing that they don't mind getting a little messy. Even though we provide full protective overalls and gloves, graffiti paint has a habit of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves! We always suggest wearing old trainers and casual wear. We provide all the professional art supplies, including premium spray paint, nozzles, and sketching materials.

Do the children need any prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our Lille-based artists start with the absolute basics, from how to hold the can to making simple lines and dots. We guide the students through the sketching process first, so they feel confident before they ever touch the paint. It's all about discovering a new talent in a supportive environment.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Lille climate can be unpredictable, but we always have a plan B! If we are working outdoors and it rains, we can often move the session under a covered area or use our mobile indoor setups. Because we have a team of backup artists available, we rarely have to cancel. We’ll coordinate with you 24-48 hours in advance if the forecast looks particularly tricky.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your after-school programme in Lille? Because we offer more than just a painting lesson; we provide a high-energy experience that students will talk about for the rest of the year! ✨

💪 Boosts confidence: Watch as "I can't draw" turns into "Look what I made!" in just 90 minutes.
🎤 Authentic artists: Learn from real street artists who live and breathe the Lille urban culture.
🏆 Teamwork: Many of our sessions culminate in a large collaborative mural, teaching students the power of working together.
🎉 Stress relief: Spraying paint is a fantastic way for students to decompress after a day of exams and textbooks.
✨ Zero risk: With our backup artist policy and pay-later system, your school's event is in safe hands.

Step by step

Introduction and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of street art and a vital safety demo on how to use the equipment properly.
Concept sketching: Students grab paper and pencils to brainstorm their nicknames or "tags," planning out their designs before hitting the wall.
Nozzle technique: Our pros teach the secret of the "cap." Students learn how different nozzles create thin lines, fat fills, or soft fades.
First lines: Under careful supervision, everyone gets a feel for the spray cans by practicing basic shapes and outlines on the practice surface.
Filling and blending: Time to add some colour! We show the kids how to fill in their designs smoothly and how to blend colours for that classic "gradient" look.
The "Powerline": This is where the art pops. We teach participants how to add a bold outer contour to make their graffiti jump off the surface.
Final details and highlights: We add the finishing touches, like shines and "bits," to give the artwork a professional, polished feel.
Group photo and cleanup: We wrap up with a massive crew photo in front of the finished masterpiece before tidying up the site.

Good to know

Duration: 1.5 to 3 hours (flexible to fit your school timetable).

Local culture

Lille is a hidden gem in the European street art scene. While many people think of the Flemish architecture, the city is actually home to incredible murals, especially in districts like Moulins and Fives. The annual Biennale de la Street Art has turned the city into an open-air gallery, making it the perfect backdrop for inspiring the next generation of French artists.

Fun Lille Fact: Did you know that Lille has one of the longest legal graffiti walls in France? The "Mur de la Rue de Valenciennes" is over 300 metres long and serves as a constantly changing masterpiece for local talent! 🎨

Our workshops tap into this local heritage, showing students that graffiti is a respected form of contemporary art that requires discipline, planning, and teamwork.
