Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority for school groups in Cairo. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are selected for their safety profile, and our instructors are trained to manage large groups of students, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having an absolute blast. We always recommend outdoor or well-ventilated spaces for the best experience.
Do we need to travel to a studio or do you come to our school?
While we can host workshops at various artistic hubs across Cairo, we usually come to your school! As long as you have an outdoor courtyard or a very well-ventilated sports hall, we can set up our mobile graffiti walls. This makes it super convenient for teachers and administrators as it eliminates the need for expensive bus rentals and off-site permission slips. We bring everything to your doorstep!
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our school workshops in Cairo typically range from 90 minutes to 3 hours. For younger students, we keep it punchy and high-energy to match their attention spans. For older students or art-focused classes, we can extend the session to include more advanced techniques like 3D shading, complex lettering, and character design. We can also split large grades into multiple back-to-back sessions throughout the school day.
What is the ideal group size for an educational workshop?
We are very flexible! We can work with small art clubs of 10 students or facilitate massive events for entire year groups of 100+ students. For larger groups, we simply bring more professional artists to ensure every student gets hands-on guidance and individual attention. No matter the size of your school in Cairo, we have the logistical capacity to make it a successful day.
What is the minimum age for participating students?
We recommend our graffiti workshops for students aged 8 and up. At this age, they have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and can follow the safety instructions effectively. For high school students, the workshops become more about self-expression and urban culture, making it a hit with teenagers who are usually hard to engage with traditional school activities!
Do students need to have any prior drawing or painting skills?
No prior art skills are needed at all! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and empowering. We teach students the basic 'tags' and 'throws' from scratch. You’ll be amazed at how students who struggle with traditional drawing or painting find their rhythm with a spray can. It’s a great confidence booster for those who don’t consider themselves 'artistic' in the traditional sense.
How do we book a workshop for our school in Cairo?
Booking is simple! You can use our online Cost Calculator to get a quick estimate, or just reach out to us via our contact form. We don’t require upfront payments for school bookings, which helps with your administrative processes. Once we agree on a date and the number of students, we’ll handle the rest, including bringing backup artists to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what.
