Is the paint safe for primary school children to use?

Safety is our top priority! We use high-quality, water-based spray paints where possible, which are much friendlier for little lungs. Every student is provided with a high-grade FFP2 mask, protective gloves, and a full-body poncho to keep their school uniforms clean. Our professional artists are also experts at managing groups of children, ensuring that the spray cans are used responsibly and only on the designated surfaces.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard primary school workshop in Merida usually runs for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for keeping younger children engaged without them getting over-tired. We start with a quick safety briefing and history lesson, move into sketching techniques, and spend the bulk of the time letting the kids get hands-on with the spray cans to finish their masterpiece.

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

Absolutely! We can set up the workshop right on your school grounds. All we need is a well-ventilated outdoor space or a large hall with high ceilings and open doors. We bring mobile wooden walls or large cellophane 'walls' stretched between posts, so there is no permanent marks left on your school property—unless, of course, you want us to paint a permanent mural with the kids!

Do the students need any previous art experience?

Not at all. Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists break down the process into very simple, manageable steps that even a five-year-old can follow. We focus on 'freestyle' creativity and confidence building rather than technical perfection. By the end of the session, every child will have created something they are genuinely proud of, regardless of their prior artistic ability.

What is the maximum number of students who can participate?

We are very flexible with group sizes! We can work with a single class of 20-30 pupils or rotate through multiple year groups across a full school day. For larger groups, we simply bring more artists and set up more spraying stations to ensure every child gets plenty of 'can-time' and individual attention. Just let us know your numbers, and we will build a plan to fit.

What should the students wear on the day?

We recommend that children wear old clothes and trainers, just in case! While we provide full-body protective ponchos and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy. It’s best to avoid brand-new school shoes or expensive jackets on the day of the workshop. We provide everything else, including masks, paint, boards, and inspiration sheets, so the school doesn't need to supply any materials.

What happens if we need to cancel or change the date?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We have a large team of backup artists ready to step in if someone falls ill, so your school event is never at risk of being cancelled. Furthermore, you don’t need to pay anything upfront. We trust our schools and only process payment after the workshop is successfully completed and the kids are happy! Retaining your peace of mind is part of the package.

Local culture

Merida is a city famous for its breathtaking mountain vistas and its vibrant intellectual energy, being a major university hub. But it's not just about the books; the street art scene in Merida is growing, with murals often reflecting the stunning local nature and the spirited culture of the Andinos. From the colourful streets near the Plaza de Bolívar to the creative pockets of the Chorros de Milla area, inspiration is everywhere in this city!

Fun Fact: Did you know Merida is known as the "City of Gentlemen"? We like to think our young graffiti artists are the "Gentle-creatives" of the future, adding some modern flair to this historic mountain city! 🏔️
