How long does a secondary school graffiti workshop usually last?

Most graffiti workshops in Bilbao for secondary schools typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows students to learn the essential safety rules, practice basic spray techniques, and collaborate on a large-scale mural. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, we can easily adapt the session length to fit your morning or afternoon timetable perfectly.

Is it safe for students to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP2 masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep their school uniforms clean. Our professional artists are experienced in managing large groups of teenagers and ensure that the spray cans are used responsibly in a well-ventilated outdoor area or a designated indoor space with proper extraction.

Does this workshop encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?

Absolutely not! Our workshops focus on the positive, artistic side of street art. We teach students about the history of the movement, the difference between illegal vandalism and sanctioned public art, and how to respect public spaces. We find that giving students a creative outlet actually reduces the urge to spray-paint illegally, as they gain a deeper respect for the craft.

Where in Bilbao do the workshops take place?

We can host the workshop at various legal graffiti zones around Bilbao, or we can bring the experience directly to your school premises. If your school has a suitable wall or a large playground area, we can set up temporary wooden panels or plastic film canvases for the students to paint on. This makes it very convenient for teachers as it eliminates the need for transport.

What if the students have no previous art experience?

Our workshops are designed for everyone, regardless of their artistic talent. Our professional artists guide the students through a step-by-step process, starting with simple shapes and lines. By the time they reach the final mural stage, even those who claim they 'can't draw' are amazed at what they can produce. It is all about teamwork and having fun with the medium.

Do we need to pay for the workshop in advance?

We believe in the quality of our service, which is why we don't require upfront payments for secondary school bookings. You can book your date and confirm the details with us, and the payment is only processed after the workshop has been successfully completed. This provides peace of mind for school administrators and ensures you are 100% happy with the result.

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

If the weather in Bilbao doesn't cooperate, we have flexible options. We can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area on your school grounds or an indoor sports hall with high ceilings. Alternatively, because we have a large team of backup artists, we can usually reschedule the session to a different date that works for your school calendar without any hassle.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your secondary school students in Bilbao? It’s more than just painting on walls—it’s a powerful tool for social and personal development. Here is why it works:

Boosts confidence: Seeing a massive mural completed by their own hands gives students a huge sense of achievement.
Encourages teamwork: Graffiti is often a collaborative effort, requiring communication and planning to make the piece work.
Alternative curriculum: It reaches students who may struggle with traditional academic subjects, providing a fresh way to engage with school.
Cultural connection: Helps students understand the history and modern context of Bilbao’s world-renowned art scene.
Physical activity: It gets students moving and working in a dynamic, outdoor environment.
Stress relief: The rhythmic nature of spray painting is a great way for teenagers to decompress and focus on the present moment.

Step by step

Initial consultation: We chat about your school's goals, group size, and any specific themes you want the students to explore during their Bilbao street art experience.
Design phase: Students start by sketching their ideas on paper, learning about basic lettering, proportions, and how to translate a concept into a large-scale piece.
Health and safety briefing: Before touching a can, our artists explain how to use the equipment safely, including proper mask fitting and spray techniques.
Nozzle control practice: Students get a feel for the spray cans by practicing lines, dots, and fades on practice boards to build their confidence.
Outline and fill: Under the guidance of our pros, students begin applying the base colours and 'fill-ins' to the main mural project.
Detailing and 3D: We teach the group how to add shadows, highlights, and 3D effects to make their graffiti artwork jump off the wall.
The 'Power-Line': Students add the final sharp outlines that bring the whole piece together into a professional-looking masterwork.
Group photo and reflection: We finish with a group shot in front of the mural and a short discussion about the teamwork and skills learned during the day.

Good to know

Duration: Typically 2 to 3 hours, but we can customise the timing for school periods.

Local culture

Bilbao is a city that understands transformation. Since the 'Guggenheim effect' put the city on the world map, art has been in its DNA. For secondary school students, walking past the murals in the Old Town (Casco Viejo) or the industrial-chic walls of Zorrotzaurre is a daily reminder of how creativity can revitalise a community. Our workshops tap into this local pride, encouraging students to see their city not just as a place to live, but as a canvas for positive expression. We often reference local Basque street artists and the history of the city’s urban evolution to make the experience feel grounded and relevant to their lives here in the heart of Vizcaya.

Pricing

Our workshop prices for secondary schools in Bilbao are designed to be accessible and transparent. Depending on the length of the session and the number of students participating, costs generally range from €25 to €50 per person.

We believe in flexibility for educational institutions, which is why we offer a 'pay-after-the-event' policy. No deposit is required to secure your date, and we include all materials and safety gear in the price. For a quote tailored to your specific group size and school requirements, please get in touch.
