Is it safe for secondary school students to use spray paint?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective suits, and gloves for every student. Our professional artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, high-quality paints, and the workshops are held in well-ventilated or outdoor areas to ensure a safe environment for your staff and pupils.

Do the students need any previous art experience?

No prior experience is needed at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from the naturally artistic to those who haven't picked up a brush in years. Our instructors are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. We focus on the process and the fun, ensuring every student walks away feeling proud of what they've created, regardless of their starting skill level.

Where in Copenhagen does the workshop take place?

We are incredibly flexible. We can host the workshop at your school premises (if you have a suitable outdoor wall or area) or at one of our partner street art locations in Copenhagen. If we come to you, we take care of all the protection for the surrounding area with plastic sheets and boards, leaving the site exactly as we found it—minus the boring plain walls!

How long does a typical workshop 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 demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final group mural or individual canvases. We can adjust the timing to fit into your school's existing timetable or double-period blocks if required.

What materials do we need to provide?

Everything is included! We provide all the professional spray paint, a wide variety of caps (nozzles), protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surfaces to paint on—whether that’s a temporary wooden wall, large canvases, or even a legal graffiti wall. You don't need to worry about a thing; just make sure the students wear old clothes and comfortable shoes!

How does this workshop help with team building?

Graffiti is inherently collaborative. While students learn individual skills, the main project usually involves working together on a large-scale mural. This requires communication, planning, and compromise. It’s a fantastic way to break down social barriers within a year group and encourage students who might not usually lead to take charge of a creative segment of the piece.

Can you tailor the workshop to a specific school project or theme?

Yes, we can! Many Copenhagen schools ask us to focus on specific themes like sustainability, local history, or school values. Our artists can tailor the introductory talk and the design phase to reflect your curriculum goals. Whether it’s a modern languages project or a social studies focus, we make sure the street art experience reinforces your educational objectives.

Step by step

Intro & Inspiration: We start with a high-energy intro about the history of graffiti and its evolution into modern street art.
Safety First: Everyone gets geared up in protective suits and masks while we go over the 'rules of the road' for safe spraying.
First Lines: Under the guidance of a pro, students learn how to hold the can and create basic lines, dots, and fades.
Sketching the Vision: The group works together to sketch out a design, focusing on lettering, characters, or a specific theme.
The Big Outline: We scale up the design onto the wall or boards, teaching students how to handle proportions on a large scale.
Adding Colour: This is where the magic happens! Students learn about colour theory and blending while filling in the piece.
The Finishing Touches: We teach 'highlighting' and 'outlining' techniques to make the artwork pop and look professional.
Photo Ops & Review: We wrap up by admiring the finished masterpiece, taking group photos, and discussing what everyone learned.

Good to know

Included: Professional spray cans, nozzles, protective masks, suits, gloves, and painting surfaces.
Location: We can come to your school in Copenhagen or use a legal local street art spot.
