Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Safety is our absolute priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves for every student. Additionally, we only use water-based, low-odour spray paint specifically designed for school settings. This ensures the kids can enjoy the creative process without being exposed to harsh fumes. Our professional artists are also trained to supervise children and ensure they use the equipment responsibly and safely throughout the entire session.

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

Heraklion is known for its sunshine, but we always have a plan B! We can easily move the workshop indoors to a gym, large hall, or even use individual canvases in classrooms. Because we use low-odour, water-based paint, indoor sessions are completely safe and comfortable. Our team stays flexible to ensure the children don't miss out on their creative experience, regardless of the Cretan weather.

What should the students wear for the graffiti session?

While we provide protective overalls and gloves, we always recommend that students wear 'play clothes' that they don't mind getting a little messy. Graffiti is a hands-on art form, and while the paint dries quickly, accidents can happen! Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are also a must for safety purposes. Once the workshop is finished, the kids will have their amazing artwork to show off instead of stained clothes!

How long does a typical school workshop last?

A standard primary school workshop in Heraklion typically lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance to keep younger children engaged without losing their focus. We start with a brief intro and safety demo, move into sketching and practice, and spend the final 45-60 minutes on the 'main event'—creating the actual masterpiece. We can adjust the timing to fit your school's specific timetable.

Can we choose a specific theme for the mural or artwork?

Absolutely! We love it when schools have a specific theme, such as the environment, Greek history, or team spirit. Our artists work with the teachers beforehand to incorporate these themes into the designs. This makes the graffiti workshop not just a fun activity, but a valuable educational tool that helps children visualise what they've been learning in the classroom in a vibrant, modern way.

Do the children need to be good at drawing to participate?

No prior art experience is needed at all! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible for every child, regardless of their artistic ability. We focus on 'controlled freedom,' where we provide templates and guidance that ensure every child produces something they are proud of. It’s all about the joy of creation and building confidence through a new medium they’ve never tried before.

How do we book and what are the payment terms?

Booking is easy and flexible. You can contact us through our website to request a quote. Once we've agreed on a date and the number of students, we'll pencil you in. The best part? There’s no upfront payment required! You only pay after the workshop is successfully completed and the kids are happy. If you need to reschedule, just let us know as soon as possible.

Local culture

Heraklion is a city where ancient history meets modern urban grit. While the Palace of Knossos tells stories of the past, the city's modern walls are increasingly becoming a canvas for local Cretan talent. We love bringing this contemporary culture into Heraklion's primary schools, bridging the gap between traditional education and the street art movements seen in neighbourhoods like Lakkos. Our workshops reflect the island's vibrant spirit—full of light and bold colours.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Heraklion has hosted several street art festivals? Some of the world's most famous muralists have visited Crete to leave their mark, making the city a secret treasure trove for graffiti fans! 🎨

Pricing

We believe every child should have the chance to be creative, so we offer flexible pricing to suit school budgets. Our workshop rates typically range from €20 to €45 per student.

The final cost depends on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and whether you chose a permanent mural or individual canvases. Best of all? No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is finished and everyone is smiling!
