How it works

  1. Intro and history: We kick things off with a brief, high-energy talk about the roots of graffiti and its evolution into modern street art.
  2. Safety first: Groups receive a full briefing on how to use the equipment safely and how to look after their gear.
  3. The first tag: Students learn the basics of lettering and 'tagging' to understand how the spray can responds to pressure.
  4. Sketching the vision: Using paper and markers, the class brainstorms a theme or a keyword to turn into a large-scale mural.
  5. Technique practice: Our artists demonstrate fading, outlining, and highlighting techniques on practice surfaces.
  6. Filling the piece: The students work together to apply the base colours to the main design, learning about colour theory in real-time.
  7. Outlining and details: Guided by our experts, students add the sharp outlines and 'flares' that make the artwork pop.
  8. The big reveal: We step back to admire the finished collaborative masterpiece and take group photos.
  9. Eco-friendly cleanup: Our team packs up all materials and ensures the area is left tidy and professional.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school pupils?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for students to control and provide high-quality FFP2 masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep clothes clean. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and that all students follow strict handling guidelines throughout the session.

Do students need prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from those who have never held a pencil to budding young artists. Our instructors break down the process into simple, manageable steps, focusing on technique and creative expression rather than perfection. We find that even the most hesitant students usually end up being the most enthusiastic by the end of the day!

What should the students wear on the day?

While we provide protective overalls and gloves, we always recommend that students wear 'old' clothes and comfortable trainers that they don't mind getting a little dusty. Spray paint is permanent, and while the suits cover a lot, there is always a small chance of a stray splash. It is best to come prepared to get a bit messy in the pursuit of great art!

Where in Cochabamba does the workshop take place?

We are incredibly flexible! We can host the workshop directly on your school grounds using our mobile plastic film 'walls', or we can arrange for the class to visit a legal graffiti zone in Cochabamba for a more authentic street experience. If you have a specific wall on campus that needs a permanent mural, we can also discuss transforming that into a collaborative project.

How long does a typical school session last?

A standard school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to graffiti history, a safety demonstration, technique practice, and the final creation of the collaborative piece. We can easily adapt the schedule to fit within your school periods or designate it as a full-day intensive 'Arts Day' activity if preferred.

What materials are included in the school package?

We provide everything required for a successful creative session. This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the 'canvas' (whether that is plastic foil, wooden panels, or a wall). You don't need to worry about any logistics—our team handles the setup and the cleanup, leaving you to enjoy the process.
