Why choose us in Porto?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your students in Porto? It's more than just painting; it's an unforgettable lesson in culture and creativity. Here is why it works:

Boosts creative confidence: Even students who "can't draw" find success with spray cans and stencils. 🎨
Authentic urban culture: Learn from real artists who live and breathe the Porto street art scene. 🏙️
Teamwork in action: Students collaborate on large-scale murals, learning to communicate and create together. 🤝
Total safety focus: We provide top-tier protective gear and professional-grade, low-odour paint. 🛡️
Stress-free booking: No upfront payment and backup artists always on standby for peace of mind. ✨
Interactive tools: Use our Tag Creator or Workshop Quiz to get students excited before we even arrive! 💻

How it works

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of street art and a vital safety demo on how to use the gear properly.
First lines and nozzle control: Students grab their first cans and practice the basics—dots, lines, and fades—on their own practice space.
Sketching the concept: Under our guidance, the group brainstorms a theme or 'tag' for their final piece, sketching out the rough shapes.
Filling in the colours: This is where the magic happens! Students start filling in the outlines with vibrant colours, learning how to layer paint.
Mastering the 'cut': We teach the pros' secret—using a different colour to 'cut' back into shapes for those crisp, professional edges.
Adding shadows and highlights: Students learn how to create 3D effects and make their artwork pop off the wall with clever shading.
The final outline: The most satisfying part! A bold final outline brings the whole collective mural together into a polished masterpiece.
Photo op and clean up: We finish by taking group photos with the art before packing up all materials, leaving the site exactly as we found it.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! We use high-quality spray cans and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional artists are trained to supervise secondary school students, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having a blast. We prioritize a secure environment so the only thing your students need to worry about is which colour to pick next!

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard workshop for schools usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for a short intro, some practice rounds, and finishing a collective masterpiece without anyone losing focus. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to in Porto, just let us know and we can tweak the timing to fit your lesson blocks perfectly.

Where in Porto do the workshops take place?

We are super flexible! Whether you want us to bring the portable walls to your school playground in Porto or prefer to visit one of our cool local street art spots, we can make it happen. If we do it at your school, we take extra care to protect the surroundings from any stray paint. It’s all about making it easy for you.

Do students need prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our artists break down the techniques into simple, manageable steps that anyone can follow. We often find that students who don't consider themselves 'traditionally' artistic actually thrive with a spray can in their hand. It's a great way to build confidence in a brand-new skill.

What is the maximum group size you can handle?

We recommend a minimum group size of 10 students to get a good atmosphere going, but we can accommodate entire year groups! For very large groups, we bring in extra backup artists to ensure every student gets enough personal guidance and 'can-time'. Porto schools love our scalable approach because no one gets left out of the creative process.

What happens if it rains or an artist is sick?

We’ve got you covered. We have a team of backup artists ready to step in if someone falls ill, so your workshop is never cancelled at the last minute. Plus, if the Porto weather decides not to cooperate, we can either move to a covered outdoor area or use our indoor-friendly techniques. Your event is safe with us!

How does the payment process work for schools?

We offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy for schools. This means no stressful upfront payments or budget hurdles before the event even happens. We want the booking process to be as smooth as the paint we use. After the students have finished their masterpiece, we’ll handle the admin and invoicing. Simple and transparent!
