How it works

  1. Intro and safety: We kick things off with a high-energy intro about graffiti culture and a vital safety briefing on how to use the gear.
  2. The tag creator: Students learn the basics of 'tagging'—the foundation of all graffiti—focusing on letter structures and style.
  3. Design sketching: Everyone grabs a marker to sketch their ideas on paper, planning out their colours and 'wildstyle' elements.
  4. Can control: Our artists demonstrate different nozzles (caps) and how to control pressure to create thin lines or big fills.
  5. Setting the scene: Students start by outlining their main design on the practice surface under the guidance of our pros.
  6. Adding colour: This is the fun part! Students fill in their pieces, experimenting with gradients, fades, and 'dusting' techniques.
  7. The final outline: We teach the students how to make their art pop with sharp 'power outlines' and highlights.
  8. Gallery walk: We finish by reviewing the collective work, taking photos, and celebrating the creative breakthroughs made during the day.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our professional artists lead the session with a comprehensive safety briefing, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the spray cans correctly. We typically host our Malmö workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or legal street art zones to ensure a healthy environment for all participants.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Zero experience is required! Most students have never touched a spray can before they meet us. Our artists are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and 'fills' before moving on to more intricate designs. You'll be amazed at how quickly the students gain confidence and start producing impressive artwork that they can be proud of.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school workshop in Malmö usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe is the 'sweet spot'—it’s long enough for students to learn the fundamentals, sketch their ideas, and complete a full-scale graffiti piece without losing focus. If you have specific scheduling needs within the school day, we can easily adapt the duration to fit your timetable.

What is the maximum group size for a school event?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you have a small art club of 15 students or an entire year group of 100+, we can scale our team to match. We bring in additional professional backup artists to ensure every student gets plenty of individual guidance. For very large groups, we often rotate students through different 'stations' to keep the energy high and the creative juices flowing.

What materials do we need to provide?

We handle everything so you don't have to! Graffitifun provides all the spray cans in a huge rainbow of colours, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvas' (which could be large plastic film surfaces, wooden boards, or even a legal wall). The only thing we ask the school to provide is an outdoor space or a very well-ventilated area, and of course, a group of excited students!

Can this workshop be linked to the school curriculum?

Street art is a fantastic tool for exploring social issues, identity, and urban history. Many schools in Malmö link our workshops to the curriculum in Art, Social Studies, or even History. It’s a great way to talk about the line between vandalism and art, the importance of public space, and self-expression. Plus, the teamwork involved in creating a large mural hits all those vital 'soft skills' boxes.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Don't worry about the Swedish weather—we've got it covered! If the forecast looks a bit 'Malmö-grey,' we can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or use large plastic sheeting in a well-ventilated sports hall or shed. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead. If conditions are truly extreme, we’ll work with you to reschedule for a sunnier day.
