How it works
- Introduction & History: Our artist kicks off with a brief, high-energy talk about the roots of graffiti and how it evolved into modern street art.
- Safety Briefing: We kit everyone out in protective gear and explain the golden rules of using spray cans safely and respectfully.
- Basic Techniques: Students learn the 'low pressure' secrets – how to make dots, thin lines, and thick bars by adjusting their distance from the wall.
- Sketching the Concept: Before spraying, we help the group brainstorm a theme or a 'tag' name, sketching the ideas out on paper first.
- First Fills: Under the guidance of our pros, students start filling in the large shapes of the group mural or their individual pieces.
- Outlining & Detail: This is where the magic happens! We show the kids how to add sharp outlines and 'highlights' to make their art pop.
- The Masterpiece Reveal: We step back as a group to admire the finished work, take photos for the school newsletter, and discuss the creative process.
- Clean-up & Wrap-up: We ensure the site is left spotless and hand out any individual canvases for the students to take home.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure students don't inhale any fumes. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor locations or specially equipped indoor spaces. Furthermore, our professional instructors are trained to manage large groups of students, ensuring that spray cans are used responsibly and that the environment remains safe for everyone throughout the entire creative process.
What age groups are these school workshops suitable for?
Absolutely! We tailer our workshops to different age groups, from primary school pupils (ages 8+) to secondary school teenagers and even university students. For younger children, we focus more on simple shapes, fun characters, and safety basics. For older students, we delve deeper into the history of street art, technical spray techniques, and complex 'piece' building. We ensure the content is always age-appropriate and engaging for the specific group.
Where in Almere do the workshops take place?
We are highly flexible when it comes to location. We have access to various legal graffiti walls and creative spots in Almere, such as areas near the Weerwater or the city centre. However, if your school has a suitable outdoor space or a very well-ventilated indoor hall, we can bring the workshop to you. We take care of all the necessary protective floor covering and wall shielding to keep your premises clean.
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This allows enough time for a brief introduction to the graffiti culture, a safety demonstration, practicing basic lines, and finally creating a collaborative or individual masterpiece. If you have a specific school timetable to follow, we can easily adjust the duration to fit into your lesson blocks or sports days without rushing the creative experience.
Can the students keep the artwork they create?
Usually, yes! We often work on large plastic sheets or movable wooden panels that the school can keep and display in the hallways or playground. Alternatively, if we work on individual canvases, every student gets to take their own artwork home. This provides a lasting memory of the day and allows the school to showcase the students' creativity to parents and visitors long after the workshop has finished.
Do we need to pay in advance for the school booking?
No, there is no need for upfront payment when you book with Graffitifun. We understand that school administrative processes can take time, so we offer the convenience of paying after the workshop has been successfully completed. We will send an invoice that can be handled by your school's finance department. This 'pay-after' policy reflects our confidence in the quality of our workshops and our commitment to a stress-free booking experience.
What should students wear to the graffiti workshop?
We recommend that students wear 'old clothes' and sturdy shoes. While we provide full protective overalls and gloves, graffiti paint is permanent, and there is always a small risk of a stray splatter on shoes or sleeve cuffs. It is better to be safe than sorry! We also suggest checking the weather if the workshop is outdoors; bringing a hoodie or jacket is wise since Almere’s polder winds can be a bit chilly during the creative sessions.
