Is graffiti art safe for primary school children?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always conduct sessions in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated zones. Our professional artists are trained to supervise children, ensuring they use the equipment correctly while having the time of their lives in a secure environment.

Where in Ghent do the workshops take place?

Ideally, we come to your school! We can set up on a playground, a sports field, or against a gym wall using our mobile plastic foil walls. This means you don't have to worry about transport costs or logistics. If your school doesn't have a suitable space, we can help you find a legal graffiti zone in Ghent where the kids can paint freely.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

We recommend a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours for primary school groups. This timeframe is perfect for keeping kids engaged without them losing focus. It allows enough time for a solid introduction, some practice runs, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into your specific school bell times or project days.

Do the children need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to letters. You'll be amazed at the professional-looking results the kids can achieve in just one session. It’s all about building confidence and having fun with colours!

What should the students wear on the day?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend that students wear 'play clothes' or old outfits that parents don't mind getting a bit of paint on. Spray paint is permanent on fabric, and while we take every precaution, kids will be kids! Please also ensure they wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes rather than sandals or flip-flops for safety on the painting site.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

Everything is included! We bring all the professional spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles), gloves, masks, and protective suits. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that’s mobile foil walls we set up or individual boards for the students to take home. You just need to provide the enthusiastic students and a space to paint; we handle the rest!

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible with group sizes! Whether you have a single class of 20 or an entire year group of 100+, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we simply bring more professional artists to ensure every child gets the attention and guidance they need. We usually work with a high artist-to-student ratio to keep things safe and interactive.

Step by step

Intro & Inspiration: We kick things off with a high-energy chat about the history of street art and how it turned from tags into the amazing murals you see around Ghent.
Safety First: Everyone gets geared up! We show the kids how to properly wear their masks, gloves, and suits to stay clean and safe.
Can Control: Our artists demonstrate the 'secret' techniques—how to hold the can, how far to stand, and how to control the pressure for different effects.
Sketching the Vision: Before the paint flies, students practice their designs on paper or directly on the surface with light 'sketch' lines.
First Sprays: Under our guidance, the kids start filling in their designs with their favourite colours, learning about blending and fading.
The Outline: This is where the magic happens! We help the students add sharp outlines to make their graffiti 'pop' off the wall.
Final Touches: Highlights, stars, and 'shines' are added to give the artwork that professional street-cred look.
The Big Reveal: We finish with a group photo session in front of the masterpieces, celebrating everyone's creative achievements!

Local culture

Ghent is a dream city for street art lovers. Home to the world-famous 'Graffiti Alley' (Werregarenstraatje), the city has a long-standing tradition of embracing urban expression. By bringing a graffiti workshop to your primary school, you’re connecting the students with a vital part of Ghent’s modern cultural identity. From the massive murals by ROA to the hidden gems in the Dampoort area, inspiration is around every corner here.

Fun Fact: Did you know Ghent has its own official "Graffiti Plan"? The city actually encourages street art in specific zones to keep the streets beautiful and give artists a voice. It’s the perfect place for future mini-Picassos to start their journey! 🏆
