Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Safety is our number one priority! We use water-based, low-odour spray cans designed specifically for educational settings whenever possible. Every student is provided with a high-quality FFP3 mask, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos to keep their school uniforms clean. Our artists are fully DBS checked and provide a comprehensive safety briefing before any paint is touched. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and the environment remains strictly supervised throughout the entire session.

Where in Glasgow do the workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible! We can bring the workshop directly to your school playground or a well-ventilated sports hall. If you'd prefer to get out of the classroom, we can arrange for the session to take place at one of Glasgow's designated legal street art zones. We provide all the necessary floor protection and boards, so we leave your school premises exactly as we found them—just with a lot more happy faces!

How long does a typical school workshop last?

Usually, our primary school workshops last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping younger children engaged without losing their focus. It allows enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demo, practice techniques, and the completion of their final masterpiece. We can also adapt the schedule to fit perfectly within your school's morning or afternoon timetable blocks.

Can the children work together on a large mural?

Absolutely! While many schools opt for individual canvases that pupils can take home, we love facilitating large-scale collaborative murals. We can set up large wooden boards or temporary plastic walls where the whole class works together to create a 'Class of 2024' mural or a piece based on your current curriculum theme, like the environment or local Glasgow history. It’s a fantastic exercise in teamwork and communication.

Do the pupils need any prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists break down the techniques into simple, manageable steps that even a P1 student can follow. We focus on 'sketching' with the can, nozzle control, and colour blending. You'll be amazed at how quickly the children pick it up—often, they are more fearless and creative than the adults! Everyone will leave feeling like a true street artist.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

We’ve got you covered. For outdoor workshops, we recommend having a backup indoor space like a gym or a large canteen cleared. If the weather is truly 'Glaswegian' (heavy rain and wind), we can easily pivot to an indoor setup using our low-odour paints and protective floor coverings. We also have a pool of backup artists available, so we never have to cancel a session due to staff illness.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your primary school? It’s more than just spray painting; it’s an immersive educational experience that hits multiple curriculum goals while the kids are having the time of their lives! 🚀

Local culture

Glasgow is world-renowned for its incredible Mural Trail, featuring stunning works that breathe life into the city's gable ends and hidden lanes. Our workshops tap into this rich local heritage, teaching children that art isn't just something you find in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery—it's all around them on the streets of their own city! Whether we're discussing the famous 'St. Mungo' mural or modern street tags, we connect the workshop to the local culture of the 'Dear Green Place'.

Fun Fact: Did you know Glasgow is home to some of the most famous street art in the UK? The city even has a dedicated 'Mural Trail' that attracts thousands of tourists every year. Your pupils could be the next generation of artists to add to that legacy! 🏆

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as vibrant as our paint! Generally, the cost ranges between £25 and £55 per pupil.

The final price depends on your total group size, the duration of the session, and whether you want individual canvases or a giant collaborative mural. We aim to be as inclusive as possible for school budgets.
