Is spray painting safe for primary school children?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every pupil. Our artists are DBS-checked and experienced in working with primary-aged children. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for smaller hands to control and ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated outdoor area or a specifically prepared indoor space with proper extraction.

What is the ideal group size for a school workshop?

We recommend groups of 15 to 30 pupils per artist to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and spray time. For larger year groups or the whole school, we can send multiple artists or run back-to-back sessions throughout the day. This setup ensures a high-quality experience where every child feels supported while they create their masterpiece.

Can you link the workshop to our current curriculum theme?

Absolutely! We love tailoring our workshops to what the kids are currently learning. Whether it is Ancient Egypt, the environment, or local Bristol history, we can sketch out designs that reflect your curriculum. It is a fantastic way to reinforce classroom learning through a physical, creative medium that children find incredibly engaging and memorable.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, some practice on plastic film or boards, and the creation of the final piece. We can also offer full-day 'takeover' sessions where multiple classes get a turn to contribute to a larger school mural.

What do we need to provide for the workshop?

We provide everything needed for a successful day of art. This includes all spray paint, caps, safety gear (masks, gloves, overalls), and the 'canvas' (usually large wooden boards or heavy-duty cling film stretched between posts). The only thing we ask the school to provide is a suitable outdoor space and a few enthusiastic teachers to help supervise!

How does the 'pay afterwards' policy work for schools?

We believe in our service so much that we do not require any payment upfront. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and you are happy with the results. We will send an invoice to your school office following the event, which can be paid via bank transfer. This takes the stress out of the booking process.

What happens if the artist is sick on the day?

Don't worry, we have a large team of professional artists across the UK. If your assigned artist falls ill, we have backup artists ready to step in so your school day isn't disrupted. We know how much planning goes into school events, and we make sure the workshop happens exactly when it is supposed to.

Bring the vibrant spirit of Stokes Croft and Nelson Street right into your playground! Our primary school graffiti workshops in Bristol offer pupils a unique, hands-on opportunity to explore the city's world-famous urban art culture in a safe and structured environment. We believe that every child has a creative spark, and there is no better way to ignite it than with a spray can and a blank canvas. Our experienced artists guide Year 1 to Year 6 students through the basics of street art, from masterminding 'tags' to creating large-scale collaborative murals.

The experience

Choosing a graffiti workshop for your primary school is a fantastic way to engage students who might struggle with traditional 'desk-bound' art. Here is why schools in Bristol love working with us:

Boosts confidence: Street art is accessible; there are no 'mistakes', only layers of creativity, which helps build self-esteem in every child.
Teamwork in action: Creating a large mural requires communication and collaboration, teaching kids how to work together towards a common goal.
Bristol heritage: We connect the workshop to the local culture, making art feel relevant and exciting for children growing up in this creative city.
Safe and professional: With DBS-checked artists and high-grade safety equipment, we provide a controlled environment for explosive creativity.
Curriculum links: Our workshops can easily be adapted to support History, Geography, or PSHE topics, making them a versatile educational tool.
Zero financial risk: With no upfront payments and a 100% satisfaction focus, your school's budget is in safe hands.

Step by step

Initial enquiry: Reach out to us with your preferred dates and the number of pupils involved. We will get back to you within 24 hours with a custom quote.
Theme selection: Choose a theme for the workshop. We can focus on school values, a specific subject like 'The Romans', or just let the kids' creativity run wild.
Artist matching: we pair your school with one of our professional Bristol-based street artists who has experience working with younger children.
Setup on site: On the day, our artist arrives early to set up the 'graffiti wall' using cellophane or boards and lays out all the safety equipment.
Safety and skills: We start with a fun intro about the history of Bristol street art, followed by a thorough safety briefing and a demo on how to use the cans.
Practice run: The children start by practicing basic lines and shapes to get a feel for the pressure of the spray cans.
The main creation: Pupils work together to fill in the designs, learning about colour blending, shading, and outlines under the artist's guidance.
Final reveal: We add the finishing touches and sharp outlines, leaving the school with a stunning piece of collective art to display.
Easy cleanup: Our team packs away all materials and ensures the area is left exactly as we found it, leaving only the artwork behind.

Good to know

Our workshops are designed to be flexible to fit your school's timetable. A standard session lasts approximately 2 hours, though we offer half-day and full-day options for larger groups. We maintain a strict focus on safety, providing all necessary FFP3 respirators and protective clothing. We generally work with groups of up to 30 children per artist to ensure quality instruction. Everything is included in the price: the paint, the safety gear, the boards, and the expertise of a professional artist. We can set up in playgrounds, fields, or even well-ventilated indoor halls if the Bristol weather isn't playing ball.

Local culture

Bristol is the undisputed capital of UK street art, and our workshops celebrate this heritage. From the elusive works of Banksy to the massive murals of the Upfest festival in Bedminster, street art is woven into the very fabric of our city. In our workshops, we don't just teach kids how to paint; we talk about Bristol’s unique position in the art world. We want local pupils to feel a connection to the murals they see on Southville's shutters or the colourful walls of Easton. By participating, they aren't just making art—they are becoming part of Bristol's ongoing creative story.

Pricing

We offer competitive pricing for Bristol schools to ensure this creative experience is as accessible as possible. Our rates generally range from £25 to £55 per pupil, depending on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and whether you want a permanent mural or a temporary installation. We understand school budget cycles, which is why we offer a 'pay after the event' policy with no upfront deposits required.
