Is the paint safe for younger children in Mechelen?

Absolutely! We use special low-pressure cans that are easier for smaller hands to handle, and we provide high-quality masks, gloves, and ponchos. Our artists are experts at supervising primary school groups, ensuring everyone stays safe while having a blast. We've hosted hundreds of school sessions across Belgium with a perfect safety record. Safety isn't just a priority; it's the foundation of everything we do at Graffitifun.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

A standard primary school workshop in Mechelen usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy levels and concentration without the kids getting overtired. We can adjust the timing to fit your specific school timetable or break schedule. If you have a larger project in mind, like a permanent school mural, we can extend the session into a full-day creative event.

Do we need to come to a studio, or can you come to our school?

We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds in Mechelen—the playground is usually the perfect spot. If your school doesn't have a suitable outdoor space, don't worry. We have access to several legal graffiti zones and creative spaces around the city. We'll work with you to find the most convenient and inspiring location for your students to get messy and creative.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics, like how to hold the can and control the spray. By the end of the session, kids who have never even held a marker will be creating vibrant, layered pieces of art. It’s all about discovering hidden talents and building confidence through a medium that feels exciting and modern to them.

What should the students wear on the day?

We recommend that students wear old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of 'artistic character' on. While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, graffiti is a messy business, and stray paint mist can sometimes find its way onto sleeves or shoes. It’s best to come prepared for a day of hands-on, colourful fun where getting a little dirty is part of the process!

What materials do we need to provide?

Graffitifun provides everything! Your school doesn't need to supply a single thing. We bring the professional-grade spray paint, various nozzle tips (caps), protective gear, and the 'canvases'—which are usually large plastic film walls or individual boards. We also handle the entire setup and the cleanup afterwards, leaving your school grounds exactly as we found them, just with a lot more smiling faces!

What is the minimum age for a graffiti workshop?

We generally recommend our workshops for students aged 6 and up (Grade 1 and above). For the younger primary years, we focus more on simple shapes, colour blending, and 'free expression.' As the kids get older, we introduce more technical skills like shadowing and outlines. We tailor the complexity of the lesson to the specific age group to ensure everyone feels successful and engaged throughout the workshop.

Local culture

Mechelen is a city that perfectly blends its rich medieval history with a vibrant, modern soul. From the towering St. Rumbold's Cathedral to the playful vibes of the Speelgoedmuseum (Toy Museum), Mechelen is a city that understands the importance of play and creativity for children. Street art is a growing part of the city's identity, with stunning murals tucked away in its winding alleys. Did you know Mechelen is often called the 'Moon-extinuishers' city? Legend says the locals once tried to put out the moon thinking the cathedral was on fire! We bring that same legendary energy to our school workshops, encouraging kids to add their own modern stories to Mechelen's historical backdrop. 🏰✨
