How it works

  1. Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy intro about street art culture and gear everyone up with professional masks and gloves. ✨
  2. The Masterclass: Our artist demonstrates essential spray-painting techniques, from 'fat caps' to fine lines and fading.
  3. Sketching the Vision: Students work together to brainstorm a theme—ranging from school values to Cretan history—and sketch their ideas on paper.
  4. Can Control Practice: Before hitting the main wall, students have a 'free practice' session to get comfortable with the pressure of the cans. 🎨
  5. Outline & Fill: Under professional guidance, students begin outlining the large-scale mural and filling in their designated sections with vibrant colours.
  6. Adding Details: This is where the magic happens! We add shadows, highlights, and 'force fields' to make the graffiti pop. 💪
  7. Final Tags: Every student gets to 'tag' their work, signing off on their contribution to the collaborative project.
  8. Group Photo & Celebration: We finish with a professional photo session in front of the completed masterpiece to remember the day forever! 🏆

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional instructors in Heraklion are highly experienced in working with secondary school students, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while using the spray cans. We use low-odour, professional-grade paint to ensure a comfortable and secure environment for all participants throughout the creative process.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school workshop in Heraklion typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect as it allows enough time for the initial briefing, sketching, practicing techniques on the wall, and finally completing a large-scale collaborative mural. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, we can easily adjust the duration to fit your morning or afternoon sessions perfectly.

Do we need to travel, or can you come to our school?

Our workshops are designed to be mobile! While we have amazing partner locations, we can also come directly to your school in Heraklion. If you have a suitable outdoor wall or a well-ventilated space, we can set up the equipment there. If not, we provide wooden partitions or large plastic sheets to create a temporary 'canvas' for the students to transform into a masterpiece.

Do the students need any prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our professional street artists guide the students through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex 'pieces' and shadows. We focus on the fun and the process, ensuring every student feels proud of what they’ve created by the end of the day.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything needed for a successful street art experience! This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing, masks, and gloves. We also bring sketching materials and can provide boards or canvases if required. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear some old shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on!

How much does a graffiti workshop in Heraklion cost?

Our pricing is flexible and varies based on the number of students and the length of the workshop. Generally, for secondary school groups in Heraklion, prices range between €20 and €45 per student. Because we believe in accessibility for schools, we offer special group rates for larger classes. Contact us for a precise quote tailored to your specific group size and school requirements!

How far in advance should we book the school workshop?

While we don't require an upfront deposit (pay after the workshop!), we do recommend booking at least 3 to 4 weeks in advance, especially during the busy spring and summer terms. However, thanks to our large team of backup artists, we can often accommodate last-minute requests. If you have a specific date in mind for your school outing, get in touch today to secure it!
