How it works

  1. Arrival and Gear Up: We start by meeting at our vibrant Heraklion location where everyone gets kitted out in protective suits, masks, and gloves. Safety first, style second! 🛡️
  2. The History Lesson (The Fun Version): Our pros give a quick, high-energy intro to street art culture and the transition from 'vandalism' to world-class gallery art. 📚
  3. Can Control 101: Before hitting the big walls, we teach the basics of spray painting: how to hold the can, control pressure, and create different line widths. 🎨
  4. Sketching Your Vision: Kids grab some paper and markers to draft their 'tag' or 'piece'. Our artists help refine these ideas into spray-paint-ready designs. ✏️
  5. First Lines: It’s time to hit the surface! Students start with outlines and 'filling in' their shapes under the watchful eye of our experts. 💨
  6. Adding the 'Pop': We teach advanced tricks like shadowing, 3D effects, and highlighting to make the artwork really stand out from the background. ✨
  7. The Masterpiece Final: Everyone adds those final flourishes and their unique 'tag' signature to finish the piece. 🏆
  8. Photo Ops and Feedback: We take group photos with the finished art. It’s the perfect moment for parents to see the incredible work created during the break! 📸

Frequently asked questions

Do the kids need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! No prior drawing skills or artistic talent are required to enjoy our Heraklion workshops. Our professional instructors break down the process into simple, manageable steps that everyone can follow. We focus on the 'fun' in 'Graffitifun', ensuring that every participant, regardless of their starting level, walks away with a piece of art they are proud of and a massive smile on their face.

Is the workshop safe for children during the school holidays?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone safe and clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are experienced in managing groups and ensure that all equipment is used correctly. We’ve hosted thousands of successful workshops across Europe with an impeccable safety record, so you can relax while the kids get creative.

What should participants wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable 'old' clothes and sturdy shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide full protective gear including suits and gloves, graffiti is a messy art form and accidents can happen! It's best to leave the designer gear at home and opt for something practical so the kids can focus entirely on their masterpiece without worrying about their outfit.

How long does a typical holiday workshop last?

Our school holiday workshops in Heraklion typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus. It allows enough time for a proper safety briefing, technique practice, and the completion of a final masterpiece. We find this duration works perfectly for keeping kids engaged without them getting tired, making it an ideal half-day holiday activity.

What happens if we aren't happy with the experience?

We are so confident in our sessions that we offer a 100% fun guarantee! If your group doesn't have a blast, we want to know about it. Our team consists of passionate artists who are trained to keep the energy high and the creativity flowing. From the first spray to the final tag, we work hard to ensure every participant has an unforgettable experience in the heart of Crete.

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

One of the best things about booking with Graffitifun is our 'no prepayment' policy. You don't have to pay a penny upfront to secure your date in Heraklion. You simply pay after the workshop has been completed. This gives you total peace of mind and flexibility, which is especially helpful when planning busy school holiday schedules for large groups or families.

What happens if it rains or an artist is sick?

If the Cretan weather doesn't play ball, don't worry! We have backup plans and alternative indoor locations available to ensure the workshop goes ahead. Additionally, we always have backup artists on standby. Unlike smaller outfits, our large network of professionals means we almost never cancel. Your holiday plans are safe with us, come rain or shine!
