Why choose us in Tartu?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your students? It’s more than just painting—it’s about confidence, collaboration, and seeing the world through a different lens. Here is why Tartu schools love working with us:

  • 🔥 Instant Engagement: Even the students who usually 'hate' art class find themselves hooked the moment they pick up a spray can.
  • 🏆 Professional Artists: Your students won't be taught by a generalist, but by real street artists with years of experience.
  • 🧠 Skill Building: From fine motor skills to spatial awareness and large-scale planning.
  • 🤝 Teamwork: Many of our workshops involve creating one giant collaborative mural where every student's contribution matters.
  • 🛡️ Risk-Free Professionalism: We handle all the setup, safety, and cleanup. You just bring the students!
  • 📸 Perfect Portfolio Pieces: Great for art students looking to add unique, large-scale work to their portfolios.

How it works

  1. Introduction & Culture: We start with a high-energy talk about the history of graffiti, from New York subways to the vibrant streets of Tartu.
  2. Safety First: Everyone gets suited up in protective gear and learns the vital safety rules of handling aerosol cans and masks.
  3. The Masterclass: Our pro artists demonstrate the essential 'can control' techniques—lines, dots, and smooth 'fades'.
  4. Sketching the Vision: Students grab paper and markers to brainstorm their own tags and designs before hitting the walls.
  5. First Sprays: Under expert guidance, students practice their first strokes on the practice side of our mobile walls.
  6. Filling & Colouring: This is where the magic happens! We teach how to fill shapes evenly and choose colours that pop.
  7. The Outline: The most satisfying part—sharpening up the artwork with a crisp white or black outline to make it stand out.
  8. Adding Effects: For the finishing touch, we show the group how to add 'shines', '3D shadows', and 'highlights'.
  9. The Big Reveal: We finish with a group photo in front of the completed masterpiece—a perfect memory for the school yearbook!

Frequently asked questions

Is the spray paint safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure everyone stays clean and safe. While we take every precaution, we always recommend that students wear 'work clothes' or older sneakers just in case a stray mist of paint finds its way onto their footwear. Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities throughout the session.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard secondary school workshop in Tartu usually lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours. This allows enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period blocks if required.

Do we need to travel to a studio, or do you come to our school?

We are fully mobile! We can come to your school grounds in Tartu and set up our professional plastic-wrapped 'graffiti walls'. This is often the most convenient option for teachers. However, if you'd prefer an excursion, we can often arrange sessions at legal graffiti zones or creative hubs around the city. We bring all the boards, paint, and gear to you.

Do students need to have any prior art skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our professional street artists guide the students through every step, from holding the can correctly to advanced fading techniques. You'll be amazed at the high-quality results students can achieve in just one afternoon, regardless of their previous art experience or 'natural' drawing ability. It’s all about the process!

Can we link the workshop to a specific school subject or theme?

Graffiti is a brilliant way to explore themes of identity, social justice, or urban geography. We can easily tailor the workshop to focus on specific keywords, a school motto, or a particular curriculum topic you are currently covering. Just let us know your goals, and we will help the students ڈیزائن a concept that aligns perfectly with your educational objectives.

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

We’ve got you covered. If the Tartu weather doesn't play ball, we can either work under a covered outdoor area or move the session indoors to a well-ventilated space like a gym or large hall. We use special protective flooring and plastic sheeting to ensure your school property remains spotless. Alternatively, we can reschedule to a better day at no extra cost.
