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

Our after-school sessions in Mechelen typically last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of theory and hands-on practice without losing the students' focus. We start with basic techniques and safety, then move quickly into the creative process so everyone can finish their masterpiece before the session ends. Our aim is to keep the energy high from start to finish!

Is it safe for children and teenagers to use spray cans?

Safety is our absolute number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure students don't inhale paint fumes, along with protective overalls and gloves to keep school uniforms clean. Our instructors are professional artists who have extensive experience working with children and teenagers, ensuring a supervised, safe, and positive environment for everyone involved in the workshop.

Will this encourage children to spray-paint the city?

Absolutely not! While we love seeing the creative energy of youth, all our workshops take place on legal surfaces. We use mobile wooden walls, large canvases, or designated legal 'hall of fame' walls in Mechelen. Our instructors also take the time to explain the difference between street art and vandalism, teaching students to respect public property while finding legal outlets for their artistic expression.

What do students need to bring to the workshop?

We handle everything! Graffitifun provides all the necessary supplies, including hundreds of cans of premium spray paint in every colour of the rainbow, caps, protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. Students just need to bring their enthusiasm and wear old shoes, just in case a stray drop of paint lands on their feet. We make the logistics easy for parents and schools.

Can you host the workshop at our school in Mechelen?

We understand that school schedules can be tight. We are extremely flexible and can host the workshops directly on your school grounds in Mechelen using our mobile setups, or we can arrange a session at a local inspirational spot. Whether it is right after the final bell or during a dedicated mid-week activity hour, we will find a time slot that suits your curriculum.

Is there a specific age limit for the participants?

While we usually suggest a minimum age of 8 to ensure they have the hand strength to press the spray caps, we can adapt our workshops for almost any age group. For younger children, we focus more on 'street art' techniques using markers and stencils, while older teens can dive deep into complex lettering and 3D effects. We tailor the difficulty level to the specific group.

Do students need to be 'good at art' to join in?

No prior drawing or painting experience is necessary! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible. Our instructors use a step-by-step method that helps even the most 'un-artistic' student create something they are proud of. Graffiti is about flow and attitude as much as skill, and we find that many kids who struggle with traditional art classes absolutely thrive with a spray can in hand.

Local culture

Mechelen might be famous for its historic bells and charming canals, but beneath its medieval surface, there is a growing appreciation for urban art. From the 'Mechelen Muurt' project that has brought international artists to our city walls, to the local creative hubs, the 'Dijlestad' is the perfect backdrop for a graffiti revolution. We love the contrast between the classic architecture and the modern energy of after-school street art.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Mechelen is known as the city of the 'Maneblussers' (Moon Extinguishers)? Legend says locals once tried to put out a "fire" in the cathedral tower that turned out to be just moonlight through the fog. We promise our graffiti 'fire' is much more real! 🎨

Pricing

Our workshop pricing is flexible to suit different school budgets and group sizes in Mechelen. We believe everyone should have access to high-quality art education.
