How it works

  1. Arrival & Intro: We meet the group at our Riga street art spot and kick things off with a high-energy intro about graffiti culture.

  3. Safety First: We suit everyone up in protective gear and demonstrate the proper way to handle spray cans and nozzles.
  4. Nozzle Control: Students practice 'can control' on a practice wall, learning how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
  5. Outline & Fill: It’s time for the main event! The students start blocking out their large-scale designs under the guidance of our pros.
  6. The Detail Phase: We teach techniques like 'cutting in' and adding highlights to make the artwork pop and look professional.
  7. The Masterpiece Reveal: The group takes a step back to admire the collective mural. It’s the perfect moment for a group photo!

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for secondary school groups in Riga. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep students safe and their school uniforms clean. Our professional artists lead with a 'safety-first' briefing, ensuring everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We also choose well-ventilated outdoor locations or specially equipped indoor spaces to ensure a comfortable environment for everyone involved.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school workshop in Riga usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demo, practice sessions on plastic film, and then the final creation on a real wall or individual canvases. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or an afternoon activity slot if needed.

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

Don't worry, we've got you covered! Riga's weather can be unpredictable, so we always have backup plans. We can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor studio space. If you've booked for a school field trip, we make sure the creative flow isn't interrupted by a few raindrops. Your booking is safe with our 'always-on' artist guarantee.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We bring everything! Your booking includes all the professional-grade spray paint in a huge variety of colours, caps/nozzles, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the 'canvas' (whether that’s a legal wall, mobile boards, or individual canvases). We even bring the inspiration and background music to get the vibes right. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and some old shoes!

What is the maximum group size you can accommodate?

We are very flexible! Whether you have a small art club of 15 students or an entire year group of 100+, we can manage. For larger groups, we simply bring more professional artists to ensure every student gets personal guidance and enough 'spray-time'. We maintain a great student-to-teacher ratio so that the quality of the learning experience remains high for everyone in Riga.

Can we choose a specific theme for the graffiti art?

Of course! We love it when schools have a specific theme, such as 'Sustainability', 'Identity', or 'Riga's History'. Our artists can help students translate these complex ideas into visual street art. It's a fantastic way to link the workshop back to the school curriculum, making it both an educational and a highly creative experience for the teenagers.

How does the payment process work for Latvian schools?

We make the process simple for schools. You don't need to pay anything upfront. Once the workshop is completed in Riga and you are 100% satisfied with the experience, we will send an invoice for payment. This keeps it stress-free for school admin and teachers. We believe in our service so much that we only want you to pay when the smiles are guaranteed!
