Graffiti workshops for schools in Barcelona
Hey there! Looking to bring a burst of creativity and urban culture to your classroom? Our graffiti workshops for schools in Barcelona offer students an unforgettable, hands-on experience in the world of street art. We believe that art shouldn't just be confined to a sketchbook; it should be bold, expressive, and collaborative. Our team of professional artists specialises in turning school groups into mini-muralists, teaching them the techniques, history, and ethics of graffiti in a safe, controlled environment. Whether you want to brighten up a playground wall or give your art students a unique technical challenge, we’re here to make it happen with zero stress for the teachers. Let’s swap the pens for spray cans and see what your students can create!

Pricing
Our school workshop prices are designed to be accessible and transparent, ensuring maximum value for your educational budget. Prices typically range from €25 to €50 per student, depending on the group size, the duration of the session, and whether we are creating individual pieces or a permanent school mural.
Because every school has different needs—from one-off workshops to week-long art residencies—we provide bespoke quotes for every project. No upfront payment is required; you only pay once the workshop is finished and you're happy with the results.
Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely. We prioritise safety above all else, especially with younger students. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep clothes clean. Our professional instructors are experienced in managing large groups and ensure that the spray cans are used responsibly and safely throughout the entire session. Plus, we often use low-odour water-based paints for indoor or sensitive environments.
Can you come to our school or do we travel to a location?
We are highly flexible! We can host the workshop at various legal street art spots across Barcelona, or we can bring the entire setup to your school premises. If we work at your school, we take care of all the necessary floor and wall protection to ensure the area remains spotless. All we need is a bit of outdoor space or a well-ventilated hall.
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard educational workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, some practice runs, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your school’s specific timetable or half-day activity slots.
What age groups are these workshops suitable for?
Our workshops are perfect for everyone from primary school pupils (aged 8+) to university students. We tailor the complexity of the techniques and the depth of the art history talk to match the age group. Whether it's a fun creative day for Year 6 or a technical art workshop for GCSE or A-Level students, we’ve got it covered.
Do students need any prior art experience?
Not at all. In fact, most students have never touched a spray can before. Our artists are trained to guide complete beginners, breaking down the process into simple, manageable steps. By the end of the session, even those who claim they 'can't draw' are usually amazed by the professional-looking results they can achieve with a bit of guidance.
What happens if we need to cancel or change the date?
We understand that school budgets and logistics can change. One of our biggest advantages is that we don't require any payment upfront. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. We also have a network of backup artists, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event will always go ahead as planned.
Can the workshop be tailored to a specific curriculum theme?
Definitely. We love it when schools want to incorporate a specific theme, such as sustainability, Spanish history, or school values. Just let us know your goals in advance, and our artists will help the students design a mural that reflects those concepts. It’s a fantastic way to combine art with other subjects in the curriculum.
