How it works
- Introduction and history: We kick things off with a brief, engaging talk about the origins of graffiti and its massive cultural impact right here in Berlin.
- Safety and equipment: Students are geared up with masks, gloves, and suits while we explain the rules for using spray cans safely.
- Technique demonstration: Our pro artists show the basics, from "fat caps" to "skinny lines," demonstrating how to manipulate the spray can for different effects.
- Sketching the design: Before hitting the wall, pupils grab paper and pencils to map out their ideas and translate their thoughts into street art styles.
- Practice session: Everyone gets a chance to test their can control on a practice surface to build confidence before the main event.
- Individual or group painting: Depending on the project, students either work on their own pieces or collaborate on a massive communal mural.
- The finishing touches: We help the students add outlines and highlights to make their artwork pop and look truly professional.
- Group photo and cleanup: We wrap up with a celebratory photo in front of the art and ensure the site is left tidy and clean.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school pupils?
Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality FFP3 respirators, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas, and our professional instructors supervise the group at all times to ensure the spray cans are used correctly and responsibly. It is a controlled environment designed for educational fun.
How long does a typical school session last?
Usually, our school workshops in Berlin last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the culture, a safety demonstration, sketching, and the actual painting process. We can easily adapt the schedule to fit into your school’s curriculum or project week timetable if you have specific time constraints.
What is the minimum and maximum group size?
We are very flexible! We can accommodate small classes or entire year groups. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our professional artists to ensure every student gets enough personal guidance and attention. Whether you have 15 or 150 students, we have the logistics and the team to make it a success.
Do the students need any prior experience or drawing skills?
No prior artistic skill is needed at all. Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible. We teach the basic techniques from scratch—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to create clean lines. Every student will leave with a piece of art they are proud of, regardless of their starting point.
What age groups are these workshops suitable for?
We generally recommend our workshops for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the physical strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow the safety instructions. For younger primary school children, we can offer alternative street art workshops using markers or stencils that are better suited to smaller hands.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
In the spirit of a true Berlin experience, we often use outdoor walls, but we always have a plan B. If the weather looks bad, we can provide indoor alternatives or use large wooden boards in a sheltered area. We also have a network of backup artists to ensure your school event never has to be cancelled due to staff illness.
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?
Yes, we love tying our art sessions into educational themes! Whether you are studying the history of the Berlin Wall, exploring modern social issues, or focusing on teamwork and collaboration, we can tailor the workshop's theme and final mural to reflect your current classroom topics. Just let us know what you are looking for.
