Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! We provide high-quality breathing masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists lead with a 'safety-first' mindset, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and that the workshop environment remains controlled and fun for everyone involved in Drammen.
Can you host the workshop at our school in Drammen?
Yes, we are highly flexible! We can host the session at your school grounds in Drammen if you have a suitable outdoor wall or space. Alternatively, we can arrange a session at a local legal graffiti spot or an indoor venue using water-based, low-odour paints depending on the season.
What is the ideal age range for these workshops?
We recommend a minimum age of 10-12 years (middle school) to ensure students have the physical strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow safety instructions. However, we can adapt the programme for slightly younger groups using markers and stencils if needed.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Standard school workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the introductory talk, sketching, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can also adjust the timing to fit your specific school timetable.
Do students need prior drawing or art skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist coaches break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We often find that students who don't consider themselves 'traditionally' artistic thrive in the bold, expressive world of graffiti.
Do you include any theory or history in the lesson?
We certainly do. We don't just teach painting; we include a brief history of the movement, the transition from 'tagging' to respected 'street art', and a vital discussion on the legalities and ethics of public art. It's a well-rounded educational experience.
What should students wear for the workshop?
We use high-quality spray paint, but there is always a small risk of splashes. While we provide protective suits, we strongly advise students to wear 'work clothes' or older outfits and shoes that they don't mind getting a little bit of paint on.
