How it works
- Introduction & inspiration: We start with a high-energy intro to the history of street art and how it evolved from the streets to the world's most famous galleries.
- Safety first: Every student gets kitted out with professional protective gear, including masks and gloves, followed by a thorough safety briefing.
- Spray can basics: Our artists demonstrate 'Can Control'—teaching students how to hold the can, adjust pressure, and create different line widths.
- Sketching the concept: Students brainstorm their design, focusing on a specific theme like 'Community', 'Future', or even their school's values.
- Outline practice: Using light colours, students take their first steps on the wall or canvas, mapping out the scale of their masterpiece.
- Filling & fading: This is the fun part! We teach 'filling' techniques and how to create smooth colour transitions and gradients.
- The 'Power-Line': We show students how to add the final dark outlines and highlights that make the artwork truly pop and look professional.
- The big reveal: We step back as a group to admire the finished mural, followed by a cool group photo session with the final piece.
- Clean up: We handle all the pack-down and ensure the site is left spotless, leaving only the beautiful art behind.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for school groups in Chania. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always work in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are experienced in managing large groups of students and ensure everyone follows safety protocols while having the time of their lives.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our school workshops typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a comprehensive introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your school's specific curriculum schedule or field trip timings throughout the day.
What is the minimum and maximum group size?
We are very flexible! Whether you have a small art club of 15 students or an entire grade of 100+, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists at no extra hassle to you to ensure every student gets personal guidance and support. We maintain a great instructor-to-student ratio for the best experience.
Where in Chania do the workshops take place?
We can host the workshop at various cool locations in Chania, or we can come directly to your school premises if you have a suitable outdoor space. Many schools prefer us to set up on their sports courts or parking lots. Alternatively, we can arrange a central location near the Old Town or Nea Chora to make it a full day out.
Do students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our professional graffiti artists break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We focus on building confidence and showing students that anyone can be creative. By the end of the session, even those who thought they couldn't draw a straight line will be amazed at what they've created.
Can the school keep the artwork created during the session?
We love it when the art lives on! If the workshop is done on professional canvases or boards, the school or the students can definitely keep them to display in hallways or classrooms. If we are working on a temporary wall, we make sure to take high-quality photos of the final masterpiece so the school has a permanent digital record of the students' achievement.
Do we need to pay in advance?
Unlike many other providers, we don't require any upfront payment for school bookings. We believe in the quality of our workshops and want the booking process to be as stress-free as possible for teachers and administrators. You can settle the payment after the workshop has been successfully completed and the students are buzzing with excitement.
