In the heart of the Basque Country, where culture and industry meet, we bring professional artists to your school or local spot to teach the real techniques of graffiti in a safe, legal, and incredibly fun environment.

How it works

  1. Intro and history: We start with a quick, engaging talk about the origins of graffiti and how it evolved into the modern street art seen around Bilbao.
  2. Safety first: Every student gets geared up with masks, gloves, and suits. We explain how to use the equipment responsibly and safely.
  3. Mastering the can: Instructors demonstrate the 'nozzle basics'—showing how distance and pressure change the lines on the wall.
  4. Sketching ideas: Students grab paper and pencils to sketch out their tags or characters, planning their masterpiece before hitting the wall.
  5. Outline and fill: Time to spray! Students start by outlining their designs and then move on to filling them with vibrant colours.
  6. Adding the details: We teach how to add shadows, highlights, and 'force fields' to make the artwork pop and look professional.
  7. Group mural collab: Often, the session ends with a collaborative piece where students work together to create one massive, colourful artwork.
  8. Cleanup and photos: We tidy up the area and take high-quality photos of the students with their creations—perfect for the school newsletter!

Frequently asked questions

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

Our after-school sessions in Bilbao generally run for about 2 hours. This provides enough time for a solid introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, and plenty of hands-on practice with the spray cans. If you are looking for a more intensive project or a shorter taster session, we can easily adjust the timing to fit your specific schedule and school requirements.

Is the workshop safe for students and children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks to prevent inhalation of fumes, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who have extensive experience working with young people, ensuring that every session is conducted in a controlled, safe, and highly supervised environment at all times.

Do students need prior artistic experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from complete beginners to those with some artistic flair. Our expert instructors guide the students through basic techniques, such as how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different line widths. We focus on building confidence and creativity, so everyone leaves the session feeling like they have achieved something truly unique and cool.

Can the workshop be held at our school premises?

We are very flexible with locations. We can host the workshop directly on your school grounds if there is a suitable outdoor wall or a well-ventilated space. Alternatively, we can organise the session at one of Bilbao's designated legal street art zones. We use large plastic sheets and wooden boards to ensure we leave no mess behind, keeping the school environment exactly as we found it.

What should the participants wear to the session?

We recommend that students wear old clothes and sneakers that they don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide full protective suits and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy, and a stray drop of paint is always a possibility when you are having this much fun! Comfortable shoes are also a must as students will be standing and moving around quite a bit.

What is the minimum age for after-school graffiti projects?

Our after-school workshops are generally most popular for students aged 10 and up. However, we can adapt our teaching methods and the complexity of the designs for slightly younger groups if requested. The main requirement is that the students are old enough to handle the spray cans safely and follow the instructions provided by our professional street artists throughout the workshop.

How does the payment process work for schools?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no-worry' booking policy. You do not need to pay anything upfront when you book your Bilbao workshop. We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay after the workshop has been completed. Additionally, we have a pool of backup artists available to ensure your event never gets cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.
