Why choose our street art programme for your local school or youth group? It’s simple—we combine professional expertise with a passion for youth development. Here is why we are Thessaloniki's favourite choice for after-school creativity:

Total Safety: We provide high-end respirators and protective gear, ensuring a 100% safe environment for every student. 🛡️
Professional Mentors: Learn from real graffiti artists who are active in the Thessaloniki scene and love sharing their craft.
Boosts Confidence: Seeing a large-scale mural come to life gives students a massive sense of achievement and self-worth. 💪

How it works

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick look at graffiti history and a vital safety demo on how to use the gear properly.
Sketching the vision: Students grab paper and markers to brainstorm their tags and designs, getting their ideas down before touching the cans.
Can control basics: Our pros teach the 'nozzle dance'—learning how distance and pressure change the thickness and texture of the lines.
Outline execution: It's time to hit the wall! Students start by sketching their main outlines using light colours to map out their masterpiece.
Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens. We teach blending techniques and how to fill in large areas with vibrant, solid colours.
The power of the outline: We go back over the work with a bold 'cut' or outline to make the design pop against the background.
Adding highlights and 3D: Final touches like 'flashes' and drop shadows are added to give the artwork depth and that professional street art look.
Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the hard work with a group shot in front of the mural, then pack up all materials, leaving the site spotless.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical after school graffiti session last?

Our after school graffiti workshops in Thessaloniki generally run for about 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of theory, practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We find this timeframe keeps energy levels high and ensures every student leaves with a sense of accomplishment without feeling rushed. If you have a specific schedule need, we can always customise the timing to fit your school's extracurricular timetable perfectly.

Is the paint safe for students to use?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. Our professional artists are trained in site safety and supervise the students at all times. We also use low-odour, professional-grade spray paint. Whether we are working on a dedicated wall or mobile canvases, we ensure the environment is well-ventilated and secure for all the young creatives involved.

Do the kids need prior drawing or art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our instructors break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex 'pieces'. We focus on the joy of creation and self-expression, so every student—regardless of their previous art experience—will create something they are genuinely proud of.

What is the minimum age for the workshop?

We usually recommend our after school programmes for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the physical coordination to handle the spray cans effectively and can follow the safety instructions closely. However, if you have a younger group in mind, just let us know! We can adapt our teaching methods and equipment to suit different age brackets, ensuring everyone has a safe and brilliant time.

Where in Thessaloniki do the workshops take place?

We are extremely flexible! We can bring the workshop directly to your school grounds using our mobile 'graffiti walls' (large canvases or plastic film setups). Alternatively, if you want a true urban experience, we can arrange for the session to take place at one of Thessaloniki's vibrant legal street art spots. We handle all the logistics and setup, so you don't have to worry about the mess or the location.

Do we need to pay in advance for the school group?

We understand that school budgets and planning can be complex. That’s why at Graffitifun, we don't require any upfront payment or deposits. You simply book the date, and payment is settled after the workshop has been successfully completed. This gives you total peace of mind and ensures you are 100% satisfied with the creative experience we've provided for your students before costs are finalised.
