Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! We use high-quality water-based spray paint for our primary school workshops in Hamburg. These paints are low-odour and much friendlier for younger artists than traditional solvent-based cans. Safety is our number one priority, so we also provide all the necessary protective gear, including gloves and masks, ensuring a worry-free creative environment for both the kids and the teachers.

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 the 'sweet spot' for keeping younger children engaged without them getting overly tired. It allows enough time for a safety briefing, a practice session on our plastic walls, and the completion of their final masterpieces. We can always adjust the schedule to fit your school's timetable!

Do we need a specific space at our school for this?

Ideally, we host these sessions outdoors on your school playground or a nearby sports field in Hamburg. We set up special mobile foil walls that leave no trace behind. If the weather isn't playing ball, we can discuss indoor options using specific ventilation and floor protection, but the fresh air of an outdoor session usually provides the best experience for the kids.

What is the minimum age for the students?

We generally recommend our workshops for children aged 8 and up (typically Year 4 and above). At this age, they have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow the creative instructions. However, we can adapt the programme for slightly younger groups with more hands-on assistance from our professional artists.

Do the children need any prior artistic skills?

Not at all! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at guiding complete beginners. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to make different marks. By the end of the session, even the kids who claim they 'can't draw' will be amazed at the vibrant street art they've helped create.

What materials do we need to provide?

We provide everything! Your school doesn't need to supply a single thing except the space and the enthusiastic students. We bring the spray paint, caps, safety gear, mobile walls/canvases, and even inspiration sheets. We do suggest that the children wear old clothes and trainers, just in case a little bit of 'art' ends up on their sleeves!

How many students can participate at once?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We have a large team of artists available across Germany, meaning we can handle multiple classes simultaneously or run sessions back-to-back. Whether you have a single class of 25 or an entire year group of 100+, we can scale our setup to ensure every child gets plenty of time with the spray cans.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your Hamburg primary school? It's more than just painting; it's an educational adventure that builds skills you won't find in a textbook! 💪

Boosts confidence: Seeing a giant, colourful artwork come to life gives children a massive sense of achievement and "I can do this" attitude. 🚀
Encourages teamwork: Our large-scale murals require kids to communicate and collaborate to create a cohesive masterpiece.
Physical engagement: Graffiti is a physical art form! It gets the kids moving, using their whole bodies to create large-scale strokes. 🎉
Safe & Professional: We use kid-friendly, low-odour paints and our artists are experts at managing large groups of energetic youngsters.
Zero stress for teachers: We bring everything, set everything up, and clean everything up. You just get to watch the smiles!
Memorable results: The students will be talking about the day the "graffiti crew" came to school for the rest of the year. 🎤

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We start with a high-energy introduction to the world of street art, showing the kids how graffiti evolved from simple tags to massive murals like those found in the Schanzenviertel.
Safety first: Our artists demonstrate the correct way to wear protective gear and how to handle the spray cans safely and responsibly. 🎨
The 'ghost' technique: Before pressing the nozzle, students learn to move their arms in fluid motions to plan their shapes without using any paint.
Mastering the nozzle: Kids get their first taste of spraying on our practice walls, learning how distance and speed change the thickness of the lines.
Sketching the design: Working individually or in small teams, the students sketch out their big ideas, focusing on bold letters and bright characters.
Filling & fading: This is where the magic happens! We teach the children how to fill in their shapes and create cool colour gradients and 'fades'. ✨
Outline & highlights: To make the art 'pop', we show them how to add sharp outlines and white highlights that bring their graffiti to life.
The grand reveal: We step back as a group to admire the collective work, discuss what we've learned, and take plenty of photos of the new Hamburg street artists!
Clean up: We handle all the pack-down, leaving your school grounds exactly as we found them, but with a lot more creative energy in the air.

Local culture

Hamburg is a city that breathes creativity, from the legendary murals in the Rote Flora area to the colourful walls of the Karoviertel. By bringing a graffiti workshop to your primary school, you're connecting your students with a vital part of Hamburg's modern cultural identity. We don't just teach them how to spray; we teach them about the respect and community spirit that defines the best of street art. ⚓

Fun Fact: Did you know that Hamburg is home to one of the oldest legal graffiti walls in Germany? The city has a long history of supporting urban artists, making it the perfect place for the next generation to get started!

Our workshops are designed to mirror the maritime energy of the city—bold, bright, and full of life. We've worked with schools all across the Elbe, ensuring that every child feels like a local legend by the time they finish their first piece of 'piece'.

Pricing

Our primary school workshops in Hamburg are competitively priced to ensure as many children as possible can join the fun. Prices typically range from €30 to €65 per person.

The final cost depends on the number of students, the duration of the session, and whether you'd like the kids to work on a large shared mural or individual canvases to take home.

No upfront payment: You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed! 🏆
