How it works
- Introduction and history: We start with a cool look at graffiti culture, from its NYC roots to the modern street art scene in Bulgaria.
- Safety briefing: Students are kitted out in protective suits, gloves, and masks while learning how to handle spray cans responsibly.
- Mastering the nozzle: Our artists demonstrate 'can control'—teaching how distance and pressure change the lines from thin to thick.
- Sketching the concept: Students brainstorm their designs on paper, focusing on letter structure, 'tags', and 'throw-ups'.
- Outline and fill: Time to hit the wall! Students start by outlining their designs and filling them with vibrant colours.
- Adding depth: We teach the tricks of the trade, including 3D effects, shadows, and 'keycaps' to make the art pop.
- Refining details: Students add highlights and 'flares' to give their work that professional street art finish.
- Group mural completion: The final touches are added to the collaborative piece, creating a sense of shared accomplishment.
- The big reveal: We finish with a group photo session and a discussion about the creative process and teamwork involved.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?
Absolutely. We prioritise the well-being of students and staff by providing high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated legal walls in Burgas. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring that everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having a blast with their spray cans.
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop in Burgas usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic nozzle techniques, and allow the students to complete a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can always adjust the duration to fit into your specific school timetable or double-up sessions for larger year groups.
What materials do we need to provide?
We bring everything! Your school doesn't need to provide a thing. We supply all the premium spray paint, a wide variety of caps for different effects, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvas'—whether that’s a temporary wooden wall, large rolls of cellophane stretched between trees, or individual boards for the students to take home. Clean-up is also handled by us.
What is the minimum age for participants?
Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible. We generally recommend them for students aged 10 and up, as handling the spray cans requires a bit of finger strength and coordination. However, we have special water-based tools and simplified techniques for younger primary school children if you’d like to involve the whole school in a creative day.
Do students need prior artistic skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our expert artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps—from drawing basic letters to adding shadows and highlights. We often find that students who don't consider themselves 'traditionally' artistic flourish in the graffiti medium because it’s so expressive and tactile compared to standard classroom art.
How does the 'pay after' policy work for schools?
One of the best things about working with Graffitifun is our flexibility. We don't require any payment before the workshop takes place. You can book your date with confidence, and we will handle the invoicing and payment after the event is successfully completed. This makes the administrative process much easier for schools and educational departments in Bulgaria.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
If the weather in Burgas isn't playing ball, we have several options. We can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area, use water-based low-odour paints for a well-ventilated indoor sports hall, or simply reschedule to a better day. Since we have a large team and backup artists, we are very flexible with adjusting plans to ensure the kids don't miss out.
