Frequently asked questions

How safe is the spray paint for primary school children?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every pupil. We also use specific low-pressure spray cans that are easier for smaller hands to control. Our artists are trained in classroom management and ensure that the paint stays on the legal surfaces provided. We always conduct a safety briefing before a single can is shaken.

What should the students wear for the workshop?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend that kids wear 'play clothes' or older school uniforms on the day. Spray paint is permanent on fabric, and while we take every precaution, children are naturally enthusiastic and messy creators! It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to their favourite trainers or school jumpers.

Can we link the graffiti workshop to our current curriculum?

Definitely! Whether you are studying the history of Valparaíso, environmental sustainability, or school values like 'kindness', we can tailor the workshop around it. Our artists will help the students brainstorm icons and words that represent your chosen theme, turning the graffiti session into a powerful visual lesson that sticks in their memory long after the paint dries.

Do we need a permanent wall at the school to host this?

Not at all! We can bring mobile wooden walls or large cellophane 'cellograffiti' setups to your school playground. If you have a permanent wall you’d like transformed into a mural, we can do that too, but it’s certainly not required. We are expert at setting up temporary painting zones that leave no trace behind once the workshop is finished and the site is cleared.

Is there a minimum age for the students?

We generally suggest a minimum age of 6 or 7 (Year 2 and up). At this age, children have the hand strength to press the nozzles and the focus to follow the safety instructions. For younger children, we can adapt the session to include more stencil work or 'street art' markers alongside the spray cans to ensure everyone can participate fully and safely.

How long does a typical school session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the intro, safety briefing, sketching, and the actual painting. We can also run multiple shorter sessions across a full school day to accommodate different year groups or larger numbers of pupils, ensuring everyone gets their turn to be an artist.
