Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?

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 fully DBS checked and experienced in managing school groups, ensuring that every student handles the spray cans responsibly while having an absolute blast in a controlled environment.

Does this encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?

Absolutely not! We teach graffiti as a form of respect and artistic expression. A core part of our curriculum is the 'Street Art Code,' which emphasizes the difference between illegal vandalism and legal public art. We discuss the importance of permission and how street art can actually improve community spaces. Our goal is to channel student energy into a positive, legal, and creative outlet.

What materials does the school need to provide?

We bring the entire studio to you! Graffitifun provides all the necessary premium spray paint, various nozzle 'caps' for different effects, protective gear, and the surfaces for painting (usually large plastic-wrapped boards or canvases). We even provide the ground covering to ensure your school playground stays clean. All we need from your school is a designated space and a group of eager students ready to paint.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our school workshops are very flexible. A standard session usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours, which fits perfectly into a morning or afternoon school slot. However, we can also offer full-day 'immersion' programmes or shorter 'taster' sessions for multiple classes. We will work closely with your department heads to ensure the timing aligns perfectly with your school bell schedule.

Are the workshops inclusive for students with special needs?

Street art is for everyone! Our workshops are highly inclusive and can be adapted for students with various learning needs or physical disabilities. Because graffiti is a physical but forgiving medium, it’s excellent for building confidence. We can adjust the height of the boards, use 'easy-press' nozzles, and provide extra one-on-one guidance to ensure every single student creates something they are proud of.

What are the costs and is there a deposit required?

Getting a quote is easy and transparent. Our prices typically range from £25 to £55 per student, depending on the number of participants and the specific project (like a permanent mural versus temporary boards). There are no hidden fees, and the best part is we don't require upfront payment — you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. Just click our quote button for a custom breakdown!

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your Leeds school? It’s more than just a painting lesson—it’s an experience that resonates with students long after the paint dries. Here’s why schools love working with us:

Boosts engagement: Street art speaks to kids in a way traditional watercolours often don't—it's relevant, "cool," and exciting! 💥
Curriculum links: We can tailor workshops to your current topics, from History and PSHE to direct support for Art & Design GCSE/A-Levels.
Team building: Large-scale murals require students to communicate, plan, and work together towards a massive visual goal. 🤝
Zero stress for teachers: We bring everything, manage the setup, lead the teaching, and handle the cleanup. You can just enjoy the creativity!
Confidence building: There are no "mistakes" in graffiti, only "layers." It’s a brilliant way for students who struggle with traditional art to find success. 🏆
Professional artists: Your students learn from real-world creatives who live and breathe the street art culture.

Step by step

Sketching & technique: Students start by sketching their ideas and learning basic can control, lines, and shading techniques.
The main event: Students put on their gear and start painting! Under our guidance, they bring their individual or group designs to life.
Final touches: Our artists help students add those 'pro' finishing touches, like sharp outlines and highlights, to make the work pop.
Review and reflection: We end with a 'gallery walk' where students discuss their work and the creative choices they made.
Clean up: We pack everything away, leaving your school grounds exactly as we found them—just with much more inspired pupils!

Local culture

Leeds has an incredible street art heritage that goes way beyond the city centre. From the iconic 'Cornucopia' mural to the vibrant pieces popping up in Mabgate, the city is a living gallery. We love connecting our workshops to the local Leeds scene—perhaps your students will be inspired by the city’s industrial roots or the famous Leeds United colours! 🏁

Fun Leeds Fact: Did you know Leeds is home to one of the tallest murals in the UK? The 'Athena Rising' mural near the train station is a staggering 47 metres tall! It’s this kind of local inspiration we bring into our workshops. 🏙️

Pricing

We believe in transparent pricing tailored to your school's specific needs. Our workshop rates generally range from £25 to £55 per student.

Variables that affect the price include the total number of students, the duration of the sessions, and whether you'd like to create a permanent mural on a school wall versus temporary boards. To make things easy, no upfront payment is required—you only pay once the spray paint has dried and your students are smiling! ✨
