Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely. We prioritise student safety by providing high-quality gloves, FFP2 masks to filter fumes, and protective suits to keep those school uniforms clean. Our professional artists are also experienced in managing large groups of teenagers, ensuring everyone follows the safety guidelines while having a great time. We only use professional-grade spray paints that are compliant with safety standards.

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

Bologna can be unpredictable, but we’ve got it covered. If the weather looks like it won’t cooperate for an outdoor session, we can usually move the workshop indoors using large canvases or plastic sheeting, provided the school has a well-ventilated space like a gym or a large hall. Alternatively, our flexible booking policy allows us to reschedule to a drier day.

What should students wear to the workshop?

We recommend that students wear 'work clothes'—things they don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves if you're particularly enthusiastic! Old trainers and comfortable joggers are usually the best choice for a day of creative expression.

Do you use eco-friendly materials or manage waste?

Sustainability is important to us. We use low-pressure cans which are easier for beginners to control and produce less overspray. We also ensure that all empty canisters are collected and disposed of through proper metal recycling channels. We teach students about 'legal walls' and the importance of respecting public property, promoting a responsible approach to street art.

What if some students have no artistic talent?

No prior artistic skill is needed at all! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive. We start with the absolute basics, so even students who claim they 'can't draw a straight line' will end up creating something they are proud of. It’s more about the process, the technique, and the confidence to try something new rather than being a master illustrator.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard secondary school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, some practice drills, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can easily adapt the timing to fit your specific school timetable, whether you want a short double-period taster or a full-day intensive art immersion.

Do we have to come to you, or do you come to our school?

We are incredibly flexible. We can come directly to your school in Bologna and set up on the playground or in a sports hall. If you'd prefer to get the students out of the classroom, we can arrange for the workshop to take place at one of Bologna's authorised legal graffiti walls, giving them a truly authentic street art experience.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your secondary school students in Bologna? It’s more than just a break from the classroom; it's a way to engage teenagers through a medium they actually respect. Here’s why it works:

Boosts confidence: Seeing a large-scale piece of art come to life builds immense pride and self-esteem in students of all abilities.
Team building: Our collaborative murals require communication and coordination, helping students work together in new ways.
Safe & legal: We teach the difference between vandalism and street art, promoting a respectful way to interact with the urban environment.
Professional mentors: Students work alongside real-world artists, gaining insight into creative careers and professional techniques.
Stress relief: The physical nature of spray painting is a fantastic outlet for students to decompress and express their emotions.
Memorable results: Whether it’s a canvas to take home or a mural for the school hall, the memories and the art stay with them.

Step by step

Introduction & culture: We kick off with a brief history of graffiti, moving from its roots in NYC to the vibrant street art scene in Bologna today.
Safety briefing: Students get kitted out in suits, masks, and gloves while learning the essential 'dos and don'ts' of using spray cans.
Can control basics: We teach the fundamental techniques, such as how to hold the can, adjusting pressure, and creating thin vs thick lines.
Sketching the design: Working individually or in teams, students sketch out their letters or characters on paper before moving to the 'wall'.
First layers: Time to spray! Students apply their base colours and start filling in their designs under the guidance of our professional artists.
Outlining & detail: This is where the magic happens. We teach how to add sharp outlines, 'cut-ins', and highlights to make the art pop.
Collaborative masterpiece: In many school sessions, the group works together on a large-scale mural that can be displayed at the school.
Photos & cleanup: We wrap up by taking group photos with the artwork and ensuring all materials are tidied away responsibly.

Local culture

Bologna is a city that breathes creativity. Known as 'La Grassa' for its food, it’s also a hidden gem for street art lovers. From the historic murals in the university district to the modern masterpieces in areas like Bolognina, the city provides the perfect backdrop for a graffiti workshop. Your students will be walking the same streets as world-renowned artists who have left their mark on Bologna's brick walls. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, encouraging students to contribute to the city's long history of public expression and creative rebellion, all while keeping it legal and respectful of our beautiful urban landscape.

Pricing

Every school project is unique, so our pricing is flexible to match your needs. Generally, prices range between €25 and €55 per student, depending on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and whether we are working on individual boards or a large permanent mural.

We believe in transparency and budget-friendliness for education providers, which is why we offer no upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is complete. Plus, we have backup artists ready to go, so your event is never at risk of cancellation.
