Is the graffiti paint safe for children to use?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high quality FFP2 masks and nitrile gloves to every student. Our workshops take place in well ventilated areas or outdoors to ensure plenty of fresh air. Furthermore, our professional instructors are trained to manage groups safely and ensure that spray cans are handled responsibly at all times during the session.

Do students need prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our after school workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to budding artists. We start with the basics of can control and safety before moving on to more complex techniques. Our professional artists are there to guide every student through the process, ensuring everyone goes home with a piece of art they are proud of.

What should students bring to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, graffiti can be a messy business! We also suggest bringing a bottle of water and plenty of energy. We take care of all the professional spray cans, caps, and drawing materials.

How long does a typical after school session last?

Our standard after school sessions usually last between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, a design phase, and plenty of active spraying time. We find this is the perfect duration to keep energy levels high and focus sharp without the students getting too tired.

What are the costs for an after school workshop in Merida?

Because we understand that school budgets and group sizes vary, our pricing is flexible. The cost depends on the number of participants, the duration of the programme, and whether you want to work on individual canvases or a large communal mural. Simply request a quote and we will give you a clear price.

What happens if it rains on the day?

If the weather does not play ball, we have several options. We can move the session to a covered outdoor area, or if we are working on smaller canvases, we can move the workshop indoors to a well ventilated hall. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel a session.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after school programme in Merida? Because it is more than just painting, it is about empowerment and finding a voice. Here is why students and teachers love what we do:

Boosts confidence: Seeing a giant piece of art come to life creates a huge sense of accomplishment. 💪
Team building: Working on a communal mural teaches students how to collaborate and communicate effectively.
Physical and active: It is a hands on experience that keeps everyone moving and engaged from start to finish. 🎤
Professional guidance: Our artists are not just painters, they are mentors with years of experience in the street art scene.
Safe and clean: We handle all the prep and cleanup, ensuring the school grounds stay exactly as we found them!

Step by step

Introduction and safety briefing: We kick things off by meeting the group and explaining how to use the equipment safely. Health and safety are our top priorities.
The art of the tag: Students learn about the history of street art and practice their first 'tags' on paper to understand letter structure.
Can control basics: Our artists demonstrate different nozzles and techniques, showing how to create thin lines, thick fills, and smooth gradients.
Concept sketching: Participants brainstorm their ideas and sketch out a final design, choosing their favourite colours and styles.
Outline and fill: Time to hit the surface! Students start by outlining their designs before filling them with vibrant spray paint colours.
Detailing and highlights: We teach the tricks of the trade, like adding 'shines' and 3D shadows to make the artwork pop off the wall.
The final reveal: We step back to admire the collective work, taking photos of the incredible masterpieces created by the students.

Local culture

Merida is a city where tradition meets modern creativity. While the stunning colonial architecture of the Centro Historico is legendary, there is a growing underground appreciation for urban art that mirrors the city's colourful spirit. From the murals found near the University areas to the creative pockets in the North, Merida is the perfect backdrop for a new generation of artists. 🎨

Fun fact: Merida is often called 'The White City' because of the white limestone used in many of its buildings. Imagine the incredible contrast when our students add a splash of neon pink or electric blue to that clean aesthetic! Our workshops celebrate this mix of Yucatan heritage and modern street culture. 🌵

Pricing

We believe that every school project is unique, which is why we don't have a one size fits all price list. Prices depend on group size and setup, so the best way to get an accurate figure is to request a quote. The best part? There is no upfront payment required, you only pay after the workshop is complete! 💰
