Is the workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks for every student. Safety is our number one priority. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment responsibly and safely while having the time of their lives in the Nijmegen sun.

Where in Nijmegen does the workshop take place?

Nijmegen has some fantastic legal street art spots, but we can also come to your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor space. If the weather doesn't play ball, we often arrange indoor locations with proper ventilation or use special water-based paints that are low-odour. We always have a 'Plan B' to ensure the workshop goes ahead rain or shine!

How long does a typical session last?

A standard secondary school session usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history lesson on street art, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your school’s double-period schedule or a full transition day programme.

Do students need to have any drawing skills?

Our workshops are designed for everyone, regardless of their artistic talent. Our pro-artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps—from "fat caps" to "outlining." Most students are genuinely surprised by how professional their work looks by the end of the session. It’s all about building confidence and trying something new together.

What do we need to bring ourselves?

We provide everything: premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the 'canvas' (which could be large boards, a wall, or individual canvases). Students just need to wear old clothes and shoes—even with overalls, a stray drop of paint can occasionally find its way onto a designer trainer!

What happens if the artist is sick?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We have a large team of backup artists, so even if an instructor falls ill, your Nijmegen school event will go ahead as planned. We haven't missed a workshop yet! You can book with confidence knowing we have the logistics handled from start to finish.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially for popular end-of-term dates in the Waal region. However, because we have a large team of artists across the Netherlands, we can often accommodate last-minute requests. Just drop us a message via our cost calculator for an instant estimate and availability check!

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your school? It’s more than just spraying paint; it’s about confidence, teamwork, and finding a new way to communicate. Here’s why Nijmegen schools love us:

Empowerment through Art: Students who might struggle with traditional subjects often find their "flow" with a spray can in hand. 💪
No Stress Booking: With our "pay after the workshop" policy and backup artists, your event is in safe hands.
Genuine Street Cred: Our instructors aren't just teachers; they are active graffiti artists who live and breathe the culture.
Interactive Tools: Use our Tag Creator or Workshop Quiz beforehand to get the students hyped! 🔥
Total Inclusivity: Everyone can do this! We ensure every student finishes with a piece of work they are proud of.

Step by step

Intro & History: We kick things off with a high-energy talk about the roots of graffiti and how it evolved from New York subways to Nijmegen's urban galleries.
Safety First: Everyone gets suited up in protective gear. We explain how to use the spray cans safely and respect the environment.
First Lines: Students start by spraying their first lines on practice walls to get a feel for the pressure and distance of the can.
Technique Training: Our pro-artists demonstrate essential skills like creating fades, shadows, and sharp outlines using different 'caps'.
Sketching the Concept: Working individually or in teams, students sketch out their design ideas on paper or directly onto the surface using light colours.
The Filling Phase: This is where the colour comes in! Students learn how to fill large areas smoothly and blend colours for that 'pro' look.
The Masterpiece Reveal: We add the 'power line' (final outline) to make the art pop, transforming the sketches into a vibrant piece of street art.
Group Photo & Clean Up: We celebrate the creativity with a big group photo in front of the finished work before packing up the gear.

Local culture

Nijmegen isn't just the oldest city in the Netherlands; it’s a city with a vibrant, breathing underground art scene. From the colourful murals near the Honigcomplex to the hidden gems in the Waalhavens, graffiti is part of the city's modern DNA. We love bringing this urban energy to local schools, bridging the gap between historical heritage and contemporary street culture. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Nijmegen hosts several legal 'Hall of Fame' spots where artists from all over the country come to showcase their talent? It’s the perfect backdrop for students to discover their own artistic voice! 🏆

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as vibrant as our paint! Generally, for secondary school groups in Nijmegen, you can expect a range between €25 and €55 per person. This depends on the number of students, the duration of the session, and whether we’re working on a communal mural or individual canvases. 💶

Because every school project is unique, we don't do 'one size fits all' pricing. We want to give you the best value for your budget!
