Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide all students with high-quality protective gear, including overall suits, gloves, and professional FFP2/FFP3 masks to ensure no fumes are inhaled. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups safely, ensuring everyone follows the ground rules while having a blast with the spray cans.
Can we include a specific educational theme?
Absolutely! While we love a good freestyle session, we often integrate educational themes into our workshops. Whether you want to focus on Cologne's local history, environmental awareness, or school values like 'respect' and 'teamwork', we can design the session to meet your curriculum goals. It’s a fantastic way to combine physical art skills with social development and historical context.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
We are very flexible! Typical school workshops in Cologne last between 1.5 to 3 hours. For larger year groups, we can run multiple sessions back-to-back or have several artists working with different groups simultaneously. We recommend at least 2 hours to ensure students have enough time to learn the techniques, practice their tags, and complete a final collaborative masterpiece.
What materials do we need to provide? (Hint: Nothing!)
We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a wide variety of colours, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the surfaces to paint on (usually large wooden panels or plastic wrap walls). We also bring sketches and inspiration sheets. The students just need to wear comfortable old clothes and shoes that they don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Don't worry about the weather! We have several covered outdoor locations in Cologne where we can move the workshop if it starts to drizzle. If the weather is looking truly biblical, we have backup plans and indoor-friendly options (using water-based markers or canvases) to ensure the kids don't miss out on their creative experience. We always check the forecast in advance!
How much does a workshop cost for a large class?
Our pricing is volume-based to make it affordable for educational institutions. For school groups in Cologne, prices typically range between €30 and €65 per student. This depends on the total number of participants, the duration of the session, and whether we are coming to your school grounds or meeting at a street art hotspot. Reach out for a custom quote!
Do we need to pay in advance?
No, you don't pay anything upfront! We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the event has successfully taken place. This makes the administrative process much easier for schools and teachers. Once the workshop is finished and everyone is happy, we will send over the invoice for payment via bank transfer.
