Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for school groups. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls to keep uniforms clean. Our professional artists are experienced in managing groups of students and ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and safely in a well-ventilated outdoor or large indoor space. You can trust us to provide a secure and fun environment for your classroom.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
A standard school workshop in Cusco typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, practicing basic techniques, and then the main event: creating the large-scale mural or individual pieces. We can adjust the duration to fit into your school’s specific timetable or broaden it for a full-day arts immersion programme.
What is the maximum group size for a school session?
We are very flexible! Whether you want to spice up a small art club of 10 students or organise a massive creative day for an entire year group of 100+, we can make it work. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our professional artists to ensure every student gets plenty of individual guidance and hands-on spray time. No student is left standing around!
What materials are included in the school package?
We include everything your school needs. This covers premium low-pressure spray paint (easier for beginners to control), various nozzle 'caps' for different effects, protective clothing, and the 'canvas' (which could be large boards, a designated wall, or individual canvases). We even handle the set-up and the clean-up afterwards. The only thing you need to provide is the excited group of students ready to learn!
Can you host the workshop at our school grounds?
Yes, we do! Many schools in Cusco find it easier for us to come to them. If you have a suitable outdoor space, like a playground or a sports court, we can set up our mobile 'graffiti walls'. If you’d prefer to get the students out of the classroom, we can also host the session at one of our local street art-friendly spots. Just let us know what works best for you.
Can the workshop be tailored to a specific theme?
One of the best things about graffiti is its versatility. We can focus the workshop on specific curriculum topics, such as local Cusco history, environmental issues, or team-building exercises. Students can work together on one massive collaborative mural that reflects school values, or they can focus on individual expression. Just tell us your educational goals, and we will tailor the artistic session to meet them.
How do we book and what are the payment terms?
Booking is easy and stress-free. Contact us via our website to request a quote. We don't require any upfront payment – you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed and your students are happy! Plus, we have backup artists on standby, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation. We make the admin side as smooth as possible for busy teachers.
