Guided by professional graffiti artists, young creators will learn everything from sketching their first tags to mastering complex spray paint techniques.

How it works
- The warm-up: We start with a quick intro to graffiti culture and a safety briefing to get everyone ready.
- Sketching the vision: Students grab paper and markers to brainstorm their tags and designs, learning about letter structure and flow.
- Meet the cans: Our artists demonstrate 'can control'—teaching how distance, speed, and pressure change the lines.
- First lines: Under guidance, students start applying their base colours to the canvas or wall, getting a feel for the spray.
- Filling and fading: We move on to filling in the letters and learning how to blend colours for those iconic street art gradients.
- The sharp outline: This is where the magic happens! We add crisp outlines to make the artwork pop from the background.
- Adding details: Highlighting, shadows, and 'force-fields' are added to give the piece depth and that professional look.
- Final touches & tags: Students add their personal signatures and any final creative flourishes to their masterpieces.
- The reveal: We finish with a group photo and a mini-exhibition to celebrate the incredible art created by the class!

Frequently asked questions
What age groups can participate in the after-school workshops?
Our after-school graffiti workshops in Paris are designed for children and teenagers aged 6 to 18. We split groups by age to ensure the teaching style and level of complexity are perfect for everyone involved. Younger kids focus on basic shapes and vibrant colours, while teenagers can get stuck into more technical 'wildstyle' lettering and complex shading techniques. It is a fantastic way for all ages to express themselves creatively.
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 for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always work in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Our professional artists are fully trained in health and safety protocols and provide constant supervision to ensure that the equipment is used correctly and safely throughout the entire session.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from absolute beginners who have never held a spray can to budding young artists. Our instructors start with the very basics of can control and build up to more advanced techniques. We focus on the journey of creation and having fun, ensuring every student walks away with a piece of art they are proud of.
Will the kids create individual pieces or a group mural?
Depending on the school's preference and available space, we can work on individual canvases that the students can take home, or we can collaborate on a large-scale mural on a temporary wooden wall or a designated school surface. Many Paris schools love the mural option as it creates a lasting piece of community art that brightens up the playground or common areas for everyone to enjoy.
How long does a typical session last?
Standard after-school sessions typically last between 1.5 and 2 hours, which is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus. However, we are completely flexible! We can run a one-off taster workshop or set up a recurring weekly programme that spans several weeks, allowing students to dive much deeper into the history and technical skill of street art.
What do we need to provide for the workshop?
Parents should ensure kids wear 'art-friendly' clothes—even though we provide overalls, a stray drop of paint isn't unheard of! We provide everything else: premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps, masks, gloves, and the painting surfaces. We also bring sketching materials for the design phase. You just bring the enthusiasm, and we will handle all the logistics and cleanup.
What happens if the instructor is unavailable?
We understand that school schedules can be tricky. One of the reasons Graffitifun is so reliable is our backup artist system. If your assigned lead artist is unable to make it due to an emergency, we have a network of professional street artists ready to step in. This ensures your after-school programme runs smoothly without any disappointing last-minute cancellations for the students.
