How it works

  1. Intro & Street History: We start with a high-energy intro about the roots of graffiti and how Lisbon became a global street art hub.
  2. Safety Briefing: Safety first! We kit everyone out in gloves and masks and explain how to handle the spray cans properly.
  3. Sketches & Tags: Students grab markers to plan their designs on paper, learning about "lettering" and creating their own unique tag.
  4. Mastering the Can: Our artists demo basic techniques like lines, dots, and fades. Then, the kids get hands-on practice on the wall.
  5. The Big Outline: Time to go big! Students start sketching their main concept onto the practice surface using light-coloured paint.
  6. Fill-ins & Colour: The fun part! We explore colour theory as the students fill in their designs with vibrant hues.
  7. The Final Cut: We teach the "outline" and "highlight" techniques that make the graffiti pop and look professional.
  8. Group Photo & Cleanup: We celebrate the new crew of artists with a group photo in front of the finished wall before tidying up.

Frequently asked questions

Do the children need any previous art experience?

Absolutely! No prior drawing or painting skills are needed. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Most of our students in Lisbon start with zero experience and leave with a masterpiece they are proud of. We focus on 'learning by doing' in a supportive, fun environment.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for kids to control, and all workshops are supervised by experienced professionals who ensure the equipment is used correctly. We’ve hosted hundreds of safe sessions across Europe and Portugal.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy! It’s all part of the creative process. In the sunny Lisbon climate, comfortable, breathable clothing is always a good shout for our outdoor sessions.

How much does an after-school workshop cost?

The price usually ranges between €20 and €45 per person. This varies based on how many students are joining, the duration of the programme, and the specific location in Lisbon. We offer great value because all professional materials are included in this price. For an exact figure, just hit us up for a custom quote!

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard after-school sessions typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives the students enough time to learn the basics, practice their hand styles, and complete a final piece. We can also organise multi-week programmes if you’re looking for a deeper dive into the world of urban art and street culture.

Can the students take their artwork home?

While we often work on large communal walls for that authentic street feel, we can also arrange for students to paint on individual canvases or boards. This means they get to take their unique piece of Lisbon-inspired street art home to show off to family and friends! Just let us know your preference when booking.
