How it works
- Intro & inspiration: We start with a high-energy introduction to the world of street art, showing students how graffiti evolved from simple tags to massive urban murals.
- Safety first: Before touching a can, every student gets fitted with a professional mask and gloves. We explain the 'golden rules' of can safety and environmental respect. 🛡️
- Mastering the lines: Students start by practicing basic lines, dots, and 'fades' on practice boards to get a feel for the pressure and distance of the spray can.
- Sketching the vision: Our artists help the group brainstorm a theme—perhaps a school value or a local Accra landmark—and sketch the basic outlines onto the main surface.
- Adding the 'fill': This is the fun part! Students choose their palette and start filling in the large areas of the mural, learning how to blend colours smoothly. 🎨
- The power of the outline: We teach the secret of the 'cut'—using a dark outline to make the student's artwork pop and look incredibly sharp and professional.
- Detailing & highlights: Students add final touches like shines, bubbles, or secondary outlines to give their work that authentic street art 'glow'. ✨
- The big reveal: We step back as a group to admire the collaborative masterpiece. It’s a perfect moment for a group photo and a debrief on what everyone learned.
- Eco-friendly cleanup: We ensure the area is spotless. If we used temporary boards, they are yours to keep and display proudly in the school hallways! 🏆

Is the spray paint safe for school students to use?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks and gloves. We also exclusively use water-based or low-pressure sprays for school groups when working indoors or in tight spaces. Our professional artists are trained to manage large groups of students, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having an absolute blast expressing their creativity in a controlled and supervised environment.
Do we come to you or do you come to our school?
We are completely flexible! We can bring the entire workshop to your school grounds in Accra – all we need is a well-ventilated outdoor area or a wall we can wrap in plastic. If you'd prefer a change of scenery, we can also arrange for the workshop to take place at one of our vibrant local street art locations. We handle all the logistics, so you don't have to worry about transport.
What is the minimum age for a school graffiti workshop?
Our school workshops are tailored to the age of the students. We usually recommend a minimum age of 6 years old for basic workshops. For younger primary students, we focus more on 'street art' techniques with brushes and markers alongside simplified spray tasks. For secondary schools and universities, we dive deeper into advanced can control, shading, and complex lettering styles. Every session is adapted to the group's skill level.
How much does a school workshop in Accra cost?
Pricing is calculated based on several factors including the number of students, the duration of the session, and the amount of materials required. Because every school event in Ghana is unique—from small art clubs to entire year groups—we provide custom quotes. The good news? You don't have to pay anything upfront. You only pay after the workshop is successfully completed and the students are happy!
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop typically lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for the intro, safety briefing, practice session, and the final creation of the masterpiece. However, we can easily adapt the schedule to fit within your school periods or offer full-day 'intensive' art programmes if you're looking for a more in-depth educational experience for your students.
Do the students need to have any prior drawing skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists guide the students through every single step, from holding the can correctly to filling in colours and adding those final 'pop' outlines. By the end of the session, even students who claim they 'can’t draw' are always amazed by the professional-looking street art they’ve managed to create. It’s a huge confidence booster!
What should the students wear on the day?
We recommend students wear old clothes that they don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls/aprons and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are also a must for safety. We provide everything else: the paint, the caps, the masks, and the canvases or boards. Just bring your energy and your imagination to the workshop!
