How it works

  1. The Arrival: Our artist arrives at your Heraklion location with all the gear needed to transform the space into a street art studio.
  2. Safety Brief: Before we touch a can, we suit up in protective gear and go over the essential 'rules of the road' for safe spraying.
  3. Sketching Session: Students grab markers and paper to plan their 'tag' or design, learning about letter balance and flow.
  4. Can Control: We move to the wall or canvas to learn basic techniques: thin lines, fat caps, and how to avoid the dreaded 'drips'.
  5. Outline: The kids start bringing their sketches to life, mapping out their designs with light strokes of the spray can.
  6. Fill-in & Shading: This is where the magic happens! We add vibrant colours, gradients, and 3D effects to make the designs pop.
  7. The Final Outline: Using a contrasting colour, we define the edges to give the graffiti that professional, sharp look.
  8. Photo Ops: We take group photos of the mini-artists with their finished masterpieces—perfect for the school newsletter!
  9. Clean Up: We pack up everything, leaving the area tidy and the students buzzing with creative energy.

Frequently asked questions

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

Our after-school sessions in Heraklion usually last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high while allowing enough time to learn techniques and complete a full piece. We find this duration strikes the best balance between focused creativity and pure, unadulterated fun before the kids head home for dinner!

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists supervise every second of the workshop, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and that everyone follows our lead. We use low-odour, high-quality paints designed for ease of use and safety.

Do the students need to have prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young Picassos. Our Heraklion-based artists guide the group through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex 'wildstyle' techniques. Every child will walk away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything needed for a legendary session! This includes all professional-grade spray paint, protective gear (gloves, masks, suits), and the surfaces we'll be painting on. Students just need to bring their enthusiasm and wear some old clothes and shoes—just in case a tiny bit of paint finds its way past the overalls!

Where do the workshops take place in Heraklion?

We are incredibly flexible. We can host the workshop at your school premises (outdoors) if you have a suitable wall or space for canvases. Alternatively, we can help arrange a local spot in Heraklion or provide mobile graffiti walls. We always ensure the location is safe, accessible, and legal for street art activities.

Can the children work on a collective mural together?

Absolutely! While we love seeing kids express their individual style, we can certainly coordinate a group project. Whether it’s a school-themed mural or a collaborative 'unity' piece, our artists can facilitate a team effort that teaches communication and cooperation through the medium of street art. It's a fantastic way to build school spirit!

How does the payment and booking process work?

No upfront payment is required when you book! We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is complete. This takes the stress out of the planning process. Plus, we have backup artists on standby, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining the fun.
