How it works
- Introduction & Safety: We start with a brief history of graffiti and a vital safety briefing on how to use the equipment.
- Concept Sketching: Students grab markers and paper to plan their tags or designs, learning about letter structure and flow.
- Can Control: Before hitting the wall, we teach 'can control'—how to hold the spray can to create thin lines, thick fills, and soft fades.
- Outline Phase: Participants begin their pieces by sketching the skeleton of their design onto the workspace using light colours.
- Filling & Colouring: This is where the magic happens! Students apply vibrant colours, learning how to blend shades and create gradients.
- The Second Outline: We teach the 'power-line' technique—re-outlining the letters to make them pop against the background.
- Details & Highlights: Adding 'shines' and 3D effects to give the artwork depth and a professional street art finish.
- Group Review: We wrap up by admiring the collective work, taking photos, and discussing the techniques used throughout the day.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our main priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including gloves and professional masks specifically designed for filter-out spray vapours. Our experienced artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring that students learn how to use the equipment responsibly in a controlled, outdoors or well-ventilated Athens environment. We handle the setup and cleanup, so teachers can relax and enjoy the creative process too.
How long does a typical session last?
A standard workshop for secondary schools usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This allows plenty of time for the introductory talk, practicing basic lines and flares, and then moving on to creating a larger collective mural or individual pieces. If you have a specific schedule or double-period block you need to fit into, let us know! We are flexible and can adjust the pace to suit your school's timetable perfectly.
Do we need to provide any materials or protection?
Don't worry about the mess! We provide protective overalls or ponchos, but we always recommend that students wear 'work clothes' or items they don't mind getting a little paint on. Our team also uses ground covers to protect the school premises. Because we use professional-grade spray paint, it’s best to be prepared for the occasional stray drip. We take care of all the logistics so your school grounds stay tidy.
Where in Athens do the workshops take place?
We can host the workshop right on your school grounds in Athens, provided there is an outdoor space or a very well-ventilated area. If your school doesn't have a suitable spot, we can often arrange a session at one of the local legal graffiti walls or 'Halls of Fame' around the city. This gives the students a truly authentic street art experience in the heart of the Greek capital.
Do students need prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Whether a student is a talented art scholar or has never held a spray can before, our artists provide step-by-step guidance. We focus on the joy of creation and the basics of letter construction and colour blending. Most students are pleasantly surprised by how much they can achieve in just a couple of hours with the right professional tips.
What is the ideal group size for a school workshop?
We suggest a minimum of 10-15 students to keep the energy high, but we can accommodate very large groups of 100+ by bringing in multiple professional artists. For larger secondary school year groups, we often rotate classes or create a massive collaborative mural where everyone contributes a section. Just tell us your student count, and we will ensure we have enough backup artists to provide a high-quality, hands-on experience for everyone.
How does the payment process work for schools?
One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no-stress' booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. We believe in our service, so you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. This makes it much easier for school administration and accounting departments, as you can verify the quality of the event before the final transaction is processed via invoice.
