How long does a typical primary school graffiti workshop last?

Most primary school sessions in Dessie last between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus among younger students. We start with a brief safety intro, move quickly into sketching, and spend the bulk of the time actually spraying. This ensures every child leaves with a finished piece of art and a massive smile!

Is the spray paint safe for young children?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray cans are water-based or low-pressure, making them much easier and safer for smaller hands to control. Additionally, our professional artists are trained in classroom management and group safety to ensure a secure, fun environment for all participants in Dessie.

Do we need to host the workshop at our school?

Absolutely not! While we'd love to visit your school, we also have dedicated workshop locations around Dessie. If you prefer to come to us, we can host your group at an inspiring local spot where students can see professional street art in person before starting their own projects. Just let us know which option works best for your school's logistics.

What materials do schools need to provide?

We provide everything! Your school doesn't need to worry about a thing. We bring the spray cans, caps, protective gear, canvases or plastic foil walls, and even the inspiration sketches. Students just need to bring their enthusiasm and wear old clothes (just in case!). We handle the setup and the cleanup, leaving your school grounds exactly as we found them.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We recommend a minimum of 10 students to keep the energy high, but we can accommodate very large groups of up to 100+ by bringing in multiple professional artists. For primary schools in Dessie, we maintain a high artist-to-student ratio to ensure every child gets the individual guidance they need to create something they are truly proud of.

Do the students need to have previous art experience?

No prior talent is needed! Our workshops are designed to empower every child, regardless of their artistic background. We teach simple techniques that yield impressive results quickly. This boost in confidence is one of the main reasons Dessie educators love our program. It’s about expression, creativity, and trying something new in a supportive, judgment-free zone.

Step by step

Intro & Street Art History: We start with a high-energy introduction to the world of graffiti, explaining how it evolved from simple tags to breathtaking urban murals.
Safety & Gear Fitting: Every student gets geared up with protective suits, gloves, and masks. We explain the "golden rules" of using spray cans safely.
Sketching the Concept: Before touching the cans, students grab markers to brainstorm their nicknames or "crew" logos on paper, learning about letter flow and structure.
Can Control Practice: We head to the walls! Students learn basic techniques like making dots, thin lines, and thick "fat cap" fills to get a feel for the pressure.
The Big Fill: It’s time to add color! Kids choose their favorite vibrant shades to fill in their designs, learning how to blend colors like pro artists.
Outlining & Highlights: The magic happens here. We teach the students how to add sharp outlines and "shines" that make their graffiti pop off the surface.
Final Group Masterpiece: Often, the class works together on one massive collaborative wall that represents their school spirit and shared creativity.
Photo Op & Cleanup: We take high-quality photos of the children with their art. Then, we handle all the cleanup so the school stays sparkling clean.
