- Technique Demo: Our pro artists demonstrate different nozzles (caps) and show how to create fades, outlines, and drips.
- Sketching the Concept: Students grab markers and paper to plan their designs, focusing on letter structure and colour schemes.
- First Sprays: Under guidance, students hit the 'canvas' or wall to practice their line work and get a feel for the pressure of the can.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks, gloves, and overalls to keep students' clothes clean. Our professional artists are highly experienced in managing school groups and ensure that all spray cans are used correctly and responsibly. We only work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated workshops spaces to ensure a safe environment for everyone involved.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
A standard school workshop in Charleroi usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2.5 hours. This includes an introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, practice sessions for basic techniques, and the final creation of the masterpiece. We are flexible and can adjust the duration to fit into your school's specific timetable or project week requirements. Just let us know your schedule!
What is the maximum group size for a school session?
We can accommodate groups of almost any size! For school classes, we usually work with groups of 15 to 30 students per artist to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention. For larger year groups or entire schools, we bring along additional backup artists from our professional team. We can handle multiple classes simultaneously, making it a perfect solution for large-scale school activity days.
Where in Charleroi do these workshops take place?
Usually, we host our workshops at inspiring outdoor locations in Charleroi, such as legal graffiti zones or near the urban decay sites that make the city's art scene so unique. If your school has a suitable outdoor space or a large, well-ventilated hall, we can also bring the workshop directly to your campus. We use special plastic sheeting to protect the ground and surroundings.
Do the students need any prior drawing or art skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists guide the students through the entire process, starting with simple lines and shapes before moving on to more complex 'pieces' and tags. You'll be amazed at how quickly students who think they aren't 'artistic' find their flow and create something they are truly proud of. It's all about expression and fun!
What should the students wear for the workshop?
We recommend that students wear comfortable clothing and shoes that they don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. Although we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti paint is permanent, and a stray spray can happen! Since most workshops are outdoors, it's also a good idea to check the weather forecast and bring a jacket or sunscreen depending on the season in Belgium.
How do we book a workshop for our school?
Booking is easy and risk-free! You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or simply send us an enquiry via our contact form. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed.
