How it works
- Introduction & culture: We start with an energetic talk about the history of street art, from New York subways to the colorful walls of Nørrebro.
- Safety briefing: Students get suited up in protective gear while we explain the 'golden rules' of using spray cans safely and respectfully.
- The first lines: Under the guidance of a pro artist, students learn basic techniques like 'flares', 'fades', and how to control line thickness.
- Design & sketching: Everyone grabs a marker to sketch their ideas on paper, planning out letters, characters, and color schemes.
- The collective mural: Students work together on a large-scale project, learning how to layer colours and coordinate their sections with their peers.
- Adding the details: We teach the tricks of the trade—adding 'highlights' and 'force fields' to make the artwork pop off the wall.
- The grand reveal: We take a group photo with the finished masterpiece! It’s a huge boost for student confidence and team pride.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality hooded overalls, respiratory masks, and nitrile gloves to all students. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or legal spray zones in Copenhagen. Our professional artists are trained in group management and ensure that everyone follows safety protocols while using the spray cans. You can rest easy knowing the kids are in a controlled, professional, and secure environment.
What is the maximum group size for a school workshop?
Ideally, we recommend groups of 15 to 30 students per artist to ensure everyone gets enough hands-on guidance. However, we have a large team of backup artists in Copenhagen and can easily accommodate entire year groups of 100+ students by splitting them into rotating stations. Whether it is a small art class or a full school festival, we have the resources to scale the fun up or down!
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, how to control pressure, and how to create simple shapes. Our artists guide the students through every step, from the first sketch to the final highlight. It is amazing to see how quickly students gain confidence and produce something they are truly proud of by the end of the session.
What materials do we need to provide?
We provide everything! This includes premium spray paint in a huge variety of colours, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surface to paint on—usually large wooden panels or canvases that the school can keep. We also bring inspiration materials and sketching supplies. Your only job is to make sure the students wear old shoes and clothes they don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Graffiti is a weather-dependent art, but we are prepared for the Danish climate! If the forecast looks rainy, we can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or use large pop-up tents. We also have backup dates available. Because we have a large team of artists in Denmark, we are very flexible with rescheduling to ensure the kids get the best possible experience in good conditions.
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?
Absolutely! Many Copenhagen schools use our workshops to explore themes like 'Identity', 'Urban Culture', or 'Environmental Awareness'. We can tailor the introductory talk and the final mural design to reflect what your students are currently learning in the classroom. It is a fantastic way to turn a theoretical subject into a vibrant, 3D piece of art that resonates with the whole student body.
