How it works

  1. Introduction & History: We start with a brief look at the evolution of graffiti from New York subways to Antwerp's modern street art scene.
  2. Safety Briefing: Students are geared up in protective suits, gloves, and masks while learning how to use the equipment responsibly.
  3. Technique Demo: Our pro artists demonstrate 'can control', showing how to create thin lines, fades, and solid fills.
  4. Sketching Ideas: Groups work together to brainstorm a theme and sketch their design onto the canvas or wall.
  5. The First Layer: Students start applying the base colours, learning how to cover large areas efficiently with the spray cans.
  6. Defining Details: We move on to 'cutting' and 'outlining', where the artwork starts to pop and take its final shape.
  7. Highlights & Effects: Students add final touches like shines, shadows, and 'splatter' effects to give the piece a professional look.
  8. Group Review: We finish with a photo session and a discussion about the techniques used and the message behind the mural.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! We use high-quality spray cans and provide all necessary protective equipment, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional facilitators are trained to manage secondary school groups, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having a blast. We prioritise a clean environment and the well-being of every student throughout the entire creative process in Antwerp.

Do students need to have previous drawing experience?

No prior artistic skill is needed at all. Our workshops are designed to be inclusive, allowing every student to contribute regardless of their drawing ability. We teach basic techniques like 'filling' and 'outlining' that anyone can master quickly. It’s all about teamwork and expression, ensuring that every teenager leaves feeling proud of what they’ve created together.

Where in Antwerp do these workshops take place?

We are highly flexible! We can host the workshop at various legal graffiti zones across Antwerp, or we can come to your school premises using mobile wooden canvases. We ensure all surfaces are protected and use specific setups to keep the school grounds tidy. Whether indoors with ventilation or outdoors in the fresh air, we make it work.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school session usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This provides enough time for a brief introduction to graffiti history, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a large-scale group mural. We can adjust the duration to fit into your specific school timetable or project day requirements.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything required for a successful street art experience. This includes professional-grade spray paint in a wide array of colours, caps/nozzles, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), and the canvas or wall space. You just need to ensure students wear old clothes and shoes, just in case a little paint wanders off-target!

What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?

Graffiti is a fantastic way to engage teenagers who might find traditional art lessons restrictive. It encourages collaboration, boosts confidence through large-scale creation, and allows students to explore themes like identity and urban culture. It’s a hands-on, high-energy activity that often reaches students who are less engaged in conventional classroom settings.

How do the booking and payment processes work?

We understand that school schedules can be unpredictable. That’s why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy. You can book your date with confidence and pay after the workshop is completed. We also have a pool of backup artists available to ensure that your event goes ahead even if an instructor is unexpectedly unavailable.
