Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated indoor spaces. Our professional artists are trained to supervise secondary school groups, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly while having a blast. We make sure the environment is controlled so students can focus entirely on their creative expression.

Do students need prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding artists. Our instructors walk the students through the entire process, starting with basic can control and lettering before moving on to more complex techniques. We find that even students who claim they 'can't draw' end up creating incredible pieces once they learn the professional tricks of the trade. It is all about confidence and fun!

Where in Edmonton do the workshops take place?

We are fully mobile! We can bring the entire graffiti studio to your school grounds in Edmonton, using mobile plastic walls or canvases that leave no permanent marks. If you’d prefer to get away from the classroom, we can also arrange sessions at authorized local street art locations. We handle all the logistics, setup, and cleanup, making it a completely stress-free experience for the teaching staff.

How long does a typical school session last?

A standard workshop for secondary schools typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your specific school periods or afternoon activity blocks. Just let us know your schedule, and we will make it work perfectly.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything! This includes premium low-pressure spray paint (easier to control), caps, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvas' (whether that is a temporary wall or individual boards). Students just need to wear comfortable clothes that they don't mind getting a little dusty, though the suits do a great job of keeping them clean. We even bring the inspiration and music to get the vibe right!

What is the maximum group size you can handle?

We are very flexible with group sizes. We can accommodate small art clubs of 10 students or entire grade levels of 100+ by rotating groups or bringing in multiple professional artists. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we can scale up for big events or ensure the workshop goes ahead even if someone is sick. We recommend a good student-to-artist ratio to ensure everyone gets hands-on guidance.

How does this workshop benefit the students' development?

Graffiti is a powerful tool for teaching topics like identity, community, and the difference between vandalism and public art. It encourages teamwork, boosts self-esteem, and provides a physical, tactile outlet for creativity that traditional classroom art sometimes lacks. Many Edmonton schools use our workshops to brighten up their school culture or as a reward for students' hard work throughout the semester. It's an unforgettable experience.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Edmonton students? It’s more than just spray painting—it’s an educational breakthrough that gets kids excited about coming to school! 🚀

Boosts Creative Confidence: Students see immediate, large-scale results, which is incredibly empowering for those who struggle with traditional art.
Hands-On Learning: It’s a tactile experience that connects art history, chemistry (how paint works!), and physical coordination. 🧪
Team Building: Collaborative murals require communication and planning, helping students work together in a totally new way.
Professional Guidance: Learn from real artists who live and breathe this culture—not just a generic tutorial. 🎤
Stress Relief: Spraying is a great physical outlet that helps students decompress and express themselves in a healthy way.
Safety First: We provide all the gear and guidance to ensure a 100% safe, legal, and mess-free experience for the school.

Step by step

Intro & Street Art History: We kick things off with a high-energy intro about the roots of graffiti culture and how it evolved into a worldwide art form.
Safety & Gear Up: Students get fitted with professional masks, gloves, and suits. Safety is cool, and we make sure everyone knows the rules of the spray. 🛡️
Mastering the Can: Our artists demonstrate 'can control'—teaching students how to create thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
Sketching the Vision: Before hitting the wall, students plan their designs on paper, focusing on 'tags' and 'throw-ups' that represent their personality.
First Lines: Time to spray! Students start by outlining their designs on the practice surface under the guidance of our pros.
Filling & Shading: This is where the magic happens. We teach students how to blend colours and add depth to their work. 🎨
The Final Outline: A crisp outline makes the piece pop. Students learn the precision needed to make their graffiti look professional.
Highlights & Details: We add those final 'shines' and 'power lines' that give the artwork its finished, high-impact look.
Group Photo & Celebration: We finish with a grand reveal and a group photo in front of the masterpieces. Students leave with a massive sense of achievement! 📸
