Is the paint safe for younger children in primary school?

Safety is our absolute #1 priority for primary school workshops in Winnipeg. We use specialized low-pressure spray cans that are easier for smaller hands to control and contain water-based, non-toxic paints whenever possible. Additionally, we provide every student with a full set of protective gear, including gloves and masks. All our instructors are experienced professionals who are vetted to work with children, ensuring a supervised, secure, and fun environment for everyone.

Do the students need to have prior drawing or art skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed specifically for beginners. We start with the absolute basics, teaching the kids how to hold a spray can and create simple lines. Our Winnipeg artists are great at breaking down complex street art techniques into easy-to-follow steps. By the end of the session, every student will have contributed to a piece of art they can be proud of, regardless of their prior artistic experience.

What should the students wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend that students wear 'play clothes' or older outfits that you don't mind getting a little messy. While we do provide protective ponchos and gloves, graffiti is a hands-on art form and a stray splash of paint is always a possibility. In Winnipeg, if we are working outdoors during the cooler months, please ensure students have layers to stay warm while they unleash their creativity!

Can the workshop take place on our school grounds in Winnipeg?

We are incredibly flexible! Graffitifun can come directly to your primary school in Winnipeg; we just need a well-ventilated outdoor space or a large indoor area with proper protection. Alternatively, we can help arrange a session at a local inspires spot if your school grounds aren't suitable. We bring all the necessary drop cloths and protective materials to ensure we leave the site exactly as we found it.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard primary school workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for younger students—it's long enough to learn the techniques and complete a project, but short enough to keep their energy and focus high. We can adjust the duration to fit into your specific school timetable or afternoon programming if needed. Just let us know your schedule!

What materials do we need to provide for the workshop?

Everything is included in our price! We provide the spray paint, canvases or boards, respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits. We also bring the design templates and all the 'behind the scenes' gear like tape and drop cloths. Your school provides the students and the space; Graffitifun handles every single detail of the artistic logistics from start to finish. It’s a total turnkey creative solution!

What happens to the artwork after the workshop?

The final masterpiece is yours to keep! Most primary schools choose to have students work on large wooden panels or individual canvases. Once the paint is dry, these look amazing displayed in the school hallways, the library, or the gymnasium. It serves as a lasting reminder of their teamwork and creativity. If the kids worked on individual canvases, they get to take their personal artwork home that very day.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your students? It’s not just about the paint; it’s about building confidence and seeing the world through a different lens. Here is why Winnipeg schools love working with us:

Team building: Nothing brings a class together like creating a massive, vibrant mural as a team. 🤝
Confidence booster: Students who might struggle with traditional art often find their "flow" with a spray can in hand.
Safe environment: We take safety seriously, using professional-grade protection and non-toxic methods.
Professional artists: Your kids learn from real, working artists who live and breathe the street art scene. 🎤
Zero stress: From set-up to tear-down, we handle the logistics so teachers can just enjoy the show.
Local pride: We help students feel a connection to Winnipeg's rich mural and urban art culture. 🇨🇦

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a high-energy introduction to graffiti culture and a vital safety demo on how to use the equipment properly. ✨
Sketching the vision: Our artists help the students brainstorm a theme—maybe it's the school mascot or a community message—and sketch it out on paper first.
The first spray: Students grab their cans and practice basic techniques like dots, lines, and "filling" on a practice surface to get used to the pressure. 🎨
Outline and fill: The mural begins! Students work together to fill in the large blocks of colour on the main project board.
The 'cool' details: Instructors guide the kids in adding shadows, highlights, and specialized "drips" to make the artwork pop with dimension.
Adding the tags: Every student gets to add their own "tag" or signature to the piece, claiming their part in the collective masterpiece. 🔥
The big reveal: We step back to admire the finished work, take a group photo, and talk about what the students learned about collaboration and art.
Safe cleanup: Our team handles all the cleanup, ensuring the area is spotless and all materials are packed away safely. 🏆

Good to know

Duration: 1.5 to 3 hours (flexible to fit your school bell schedule). 🕒
