How it works

  2. Safety first: Every student gets geared up with masks, gloves, and protective suits while learning the 'do's and don'ts'.
  3. The tag creator: Students sketch their ideas on paper, learning how to turn simple letters into stylish graffiti fonts.
  4. Nozzle knowledge: A quick masterclass on 'caps' – learning how different nozzles create thin lines or fat fills.
  5. First sprays: Practice sessions on transparent foil to get a feel for the pressure and movement of the spray cans. 🎨
  6. The master plan: The group collaborates on a large-scale design, choosing a theme that reflects their school or community.
  7. Creation phase: Students work together to fill out the mural, adding shadows, highlights, and outlines.
  8. The final outline: Our pro artists help students add the finishing sharp details that make the artwork pop! 🏆
  9. Photo finish: A group photoshoot with the final masterpiece to celebrate the team's creative achievement.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and overalls to all secondary school students. Our professional artists lead the workshop with a comprehensive safety briefing, ensuring everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We choose well-ventilated outdoor locations or large indoor spaces to ensure a safe, fun, and healthy environment for every participant.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school graffiti workshop in Thessaloniki typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the students enough time to learn the history of street art, practice their techniques on plastic film, and then collaborate on a final masterpiece. We can also adjust the duration to fit into your specific school timetable or project day requirements if needed.

Do we come to you, or do you come to our school?

We are proud to be fully mobile! We can bring the entire graffiti experience directly artist to your school grounds in Thessaloniki, using mobile walls or plastic wrap between pillars. Alternatively, we can arrange for the group to meet at a cool, inspiring legal street art location in the city to give the students a truly authentic urban art experience.

Do students need any prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down complex mural techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Whether a student is a natural-born illustrator or has never held a spray can before, they will finish the day feeling proud of what they have created. It is all about expression and participation.

What should the students wear on the day of the workshop?

We recommend that students wear comfortable, old clothing and sturdy shoes. Even though we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can be a bit messy, and paint might occasionally find its way onto sleeves or shoes. It’s best to wear something that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny splash of colour on! Use the 'old clothes' rule for the best experience.

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

Thessaloniki weather is usually great, but if it rains, we have several options. We can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area at the school, use an indoor hall with specific non-toxic water-based paints (upon request), or reschedule the event to another day. We have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead smoothly regardless of minor scheduling shifts.

How much does a secondary school graffiti workshop cost?

Our pricing is flexible and depends on the total number of students and the materials required. For secondary schools in Thessaloniki, prices generally range from €20 to €45 per person. Larger groups often benefit from a lower price per student. Because every school project is unique, we recommend reaching out for a custom quote to get the most accurate pricing for your group.
