Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, we prioritise student safety above all else. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are professional artists who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, high-quality paints designed for ease of use, ensuring a fun and secure environment for all secondary school students.

What should students wear to the workshop?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend that students wear 'work clothes' or items they don't mind getting a little paint on. Graffiti is a hands-on art form, and while we take every precaution, a rogue droplet of spray paint can sometimes find its way onto shoes or sleeves. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are a must for safety and stability while painting on our outdoor walls or canvases.

Do students need prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from those who have never held a spray can to budding young artists. Our professional street artists guide the students through every step, starting with basic lines and moving up to complex 3D effects. We focus on the process and the fun of creation, ensuring every student leaves with a piece of art they are proud of.

Where in Coimbra do the workshops take place?

We can host workshops at various locations in Coimbra. We often work with schools directly on their own grounds if there is a suitable outdoor wall or space. Alternatively, we can arrange sessions at local creative hubs or legal graffiti zones within the city. If the weather doesn't play ball, we have indoor solutions using large canvases and specialized low-solvent paints to keep the creativity flowing safely.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard secondary school workshop typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can also adapt the timing to fit into a specific school period or a full-day 'taler' (workshop) event depending on your curriculum needs.

What is the maximum group size?

We are highly flexible! We can accommodate small art clubs of 10 students or entire year groups of 100+. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists and set up multiple 'creativity stations' to ensure every student gets plenty of hands-on time and personal guidance. We maintain a high artist-to-student ratio to keep the quality of the experience top-notch.

What is included in the price?

Everything is included! Our quote covers the professional artist instructors, all spray paint, caps, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surfaces to paint on (whether that's a temporary wall or individual canvases). We also take care of the setup and the cleanup. There are no hidden costs; we provide a transparent flat fee or per-person rate so your school budget remains predictable.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your students in the city of students? It’s more than just painting; it's a unique educational tool that breaks down barriers and sparks inspiration. Here is why our workshops are a hit:

Boosts Self-Esteem: Students see immediate results from their work, proving that they can master a new skill in just one afternoon. 💪
Inclusive Art: Graffiti doesn't care about "traditional" talent; it's a great leveller that engages students who might feel disconnected from standard subjects.
Expert Mentorship: Our artists aren't just teachers; they are active members of the street art community who share real-world tips and tricks. 🎤
Team Collaboration: Working on a large-scale mural requires communication, planning, and collective problem-solving.
Safe & Professional: We handle all the prep and safety, so teachers can relax and enjoy watching their students shine. ✨
Zero Pressure: With our "no upfront payment" policy, booking is stress-free for school administrators. 🏆

Step by step

Introduction & Street Art History: We start with a high-energy intro, talking about the evolution of graffiti from New York subways to the streets of Coimbra.
Safety Briefing & Gear Up: Students get kitted out in protective suits, masks, and gloves while learning how to handle spray cans responsibly.
Mastering the Can: Our pro artists demonstrate fundamental techniques: how to make thin lines, fat fills, and smooth gradients.
Sketching the Concept: Students work together or individually to sketch their ideas on paper, planning their tags or mural design.
First Outlines: Time to hit the wall! Students apply their first structural lines under the watchful eye of our experts.
Filling & Colouring: This is where the magic happens as the students bring their designs to life with vibrant colours and bold fills.
The Finishing Touches: We teach 'shining' techniques—adding 3D effects, highlights, and sharp outlines to make the art pop.
The Big Reveal & Photos: We conclude with a group gallery walk, taking photos of the incredible work created by the class.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 2 to 3 hours (flexible to fit school timetables).

Local culture

Coimbra isn't just about ancient libraries and Fado; it's a city with a pulse that beats through its modern street art scene. While the University of Coimbra stands as a monument to tradition, the nearby streets of the Baixinha district often feature hidden gems of contemporary murals that tell the story of the city’s evolving youth culture. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, bridging the gap between Coimbra’s historic prestige and its modern creative future.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Coimbra is home to several legal 'graffiti spots' where local artists are encouraged to paint? This progressive approach to urban art makes it the perfect backdrop for students to learn about the fine line between vandalism and public masterpieces! 🎨

Pricing

We believe in transparent pricing tailored to your school's specific needs. Whether you're planning a small art-project day or a massive end-of-term celebration, we have a package for you.

Starting price: From €20 per person for large groups.
Standard sessions: Typically €30 - €45 per person for mid-sized classes.
Payment: No upfront payment required; pay after the workshop is complete!

Prices vary based on the location, number of students, and the type of materials used (e.g., individual canvases versus a communal mural). 🔥
