How it works

Introduction & Safety: We start with a quick chat about 🎨 street art history and a vital safety briefing on how to use the gear.
The Gear Check: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear, including masks and gloves, to stay clean and safe.
Sketching the Vision: Before the paint flies, we help the kids sketch their ideas on paper, focusing on letters and characters.
First Sprays: Under the guidance of our pros, students learn basic techniques like 'fading', 'outlining', and 'filling' on a practice surface.
The Masterpiece Begins: It’s time to move to the main surface. Students start layering their background colours and big shapes.
Detailing & Style: This is where the magic happens! We show them how to add 'highlights' and '3D effects' to make their art pop.
The Final Outline: A steady hand is used to add the final dark outlines, bringing the whole piece of art together.
Group Photo & Cleanup: We celebrate the hard work with a group photo in front of the mural before packing up our eco-friendly gear.
The Big Teardown: We ensure the site is left spotless, leaving only the memories (and maybe some canvas art) behind!

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical after-school graffiti workshop last?

Our after-school sessions in Artigas typically last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives the students enough time to learn the basic safety rules, practice their 'can control' on plastic wrap or test boards, and then complete a final masterpiece. We find this timeframe keeps energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting tired. It’s the perfect creative burst after a day of academic study!

Is spray painting safe for school-aged children?

Safety is our absolute number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who have extensive experience working with children. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier for younger hands to control, and all sessions are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially prepared indoor spaces with proper extraction.

Do the kids need to have any prior artistic skills?

Absolutely no experience is required! Most of our students have never touched a spray can before they join us. Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and beginner-friendly. We start with the very basics of lines and dots before moving on to more complex shapes. Whether a child is already a 'mini Picasso' or has never drawn a stick figure, they will leave with a piece of art they're proud of.

What is the minimum age for the workshop?

We usually recommend our after-school programmes for children aged 8 and up. At this age, they generally have the hand strength to press the nozzles and the coordination to follow the safety instructions. However, we can adapt sessions for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or stencils. If you have a specific age group in mind, just let us know and we’ll tailor the plan.

What should the students wear to the session?

While we provide protective overalls, we always suggest that students wear 'play clothes' or old trainers they don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Graffiti can be messy, and while the overalls cover a lot, a stray drip of paint on a brand-new pair of school shoes is never fun! We’ll provide everything else, including the cans, caps, and safety gear.

Do we need to pay in advance to book a date?

Not at all! One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. You don't need to pay a penny upfront. We believe in the quality of our workshops so much that you only pay after the session is complete. This makes it much easier for school administrators or parents' committees to organise the event without any financial stress or risk. Fun is guaranteed!

Where in Artigas do the workshops take place?

We can host the workshop at your school premises if there is a suitable outdoor wall or a fence we can cover in film. Alternatively, if you'd like a change of scenery, we can arrange a session at a local 'Hall of Fame' or a designated creative space in Artigas. We are fully mobile and bring all the equipment to you, making it as easy as possible to organise.
