Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenage students?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise secondary school groups, ensuring a controlled environment. We use low-odour professional spray paint whenever possible and always work in well-ventilated outdoor or indoor spaces specifically designated for graffiti. Your students are in very safe, experienced hands throughout the entire creative process.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

The workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. For secondary schools in Lille, we find that a 2-hour session is the 'sweet spot'. This allows enough time for a comprehensive introduction, technique practice, and the completion of a final masterpiece without students losing focus. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into your school’s specific timetable or double-period slots.

Where in Lille do the workshops take place?

We are fully mobile! We can come directly to your school premises in Lille if you have a suitable outdoor wall or open space. Alternatively, we can host the workshop at one of our legal street art locations or 'Hall of Fame' spots in the city. This gives students a truly authentic experience of the local street art culture. We'll discuss the best location for your group during the booking process.

What should students wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend comfortable, old clothing and sturdy shoes. Even though we provide full-body protective overalls and gloves, spray paint has a habit of finding its way onto sleeves or trainers! It is best if students wear clothes they don't mind getting a tiny bit of 'artistic' character on. We provide all the professional gear, including masks and cans, so you don't need to bring any equipment.

Do students need any prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from absolute beginners to those who are naturally artistic. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We focus on 'design thinking'—starting with sketches and moving to execution. Every student will leave with something they are proud of, regardless of their previous experience with a sketchbook or a spray can.

How does the payment process work for schools?

Great news: there is no upfront payment required! We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. After the session, we will send an invoice to the school or organisation. This makes the administrative process much easier for teachers and school offices. We accept bank transfers and provide all necessary documentation for school accounting departments.

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

Lille is famous for its occasional rain, but we’ve got you covered! If the weather looks bad, we can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or use an indoor space with appropriate ventilation. Because we have a team of backup artists available, we are very flexible. If the weather is truly extreme, we can reschedule the session to a better day at no extra cost to the school.

The experience

Why choose Graffitifun for your Lille school group? Because we turn "I can't draw" into "Look what I made!" in just two hours. 🚀

Boosts confidence: Seeing a giant 2-metre tag come to life gives students a massive sense of achievement.
Professional artists: Our team isn't just "good at art"—they are pros who know how to manage and inspire teenagers.
Cultural education: We teach the history of street art, from New York subways to the galleries of Lille.
Zero stress for teachers: We bring all the gear, handle the mess, and ensure everyone stays safe and engaged.
Great for teamwork: Our collaborative murals require students to communicate and co-create on a large scale.
Flexible & Mobile: We can set up in your school car park or at a cool local street art spot—the choice is yours!

Step by step

Introduction & safety briefing: We kick things off with a high-energy intro to graffiti culture and a vital safety talk. Students get fitted with their masks and gear.
The art of the tag: Students start by learning the basics of lettering and 'tagging' on paper to understand flow and style.
Spray can mastery: Our pros demonstrate finger control, distance, and pressure. Students practice their first lines on a practice wall.
Concept sketching: The group works together or individually to sketch out their final masterpiece, choosing colours and 'wildstyle' elements.
Outline and fill: Time for the main event! Students move to the big canvases or walls to spray their outlines and fill them with vibrant colours.
Shadows and highlights: We teach the tricks of the trade—adding 3D effects, 'force fields', and highlights to make the art pop.
The final outline: The most satisfying part! Using a steady hand to add the final dark outline that brings the whole piece together.
Group photo and review: We celebrate the creativity with a group photo in front of the finished work, followed by a quick cleanup.

Local culture

Lille is a hidden gem in the European street art scene. From the vibrant murals in the Moulins district to the ever-evolving walls of La Condition Publique in nearby Roubaix, the "Capital of Flanders" breathes urban culture. Our workshops draw inspiration from the city's unique mix of Flemish architecture and modern industrial vibes. We often take students to see local landmarks for inspiration before they start spraying! 🧱

Fun Fact: Lille hosts the 'Biennale d'Art Mural', an event that has turned dozens of dull city walls into giant outdoor galleries. By participating in a Graffitifun workshop, your students are joining a long-standing local tradition of public expression!

Our graffiti workshops are designed to be accessible and high-value for schools. Prices typically range from €30 to €65 per student.

Please note that the final price depends on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the location. We offer special discounts for larger school groups!
