How it works

- Safety first: Everyone gets suited up in protective gear while we demonstrate how to use the spray cans and masks safely.
- Nozzle mastery: Time to spray! Students practice basic techniques like dots, lines, and fades on practice boards to get a feel for the pressure.
- Outline & fill: The main event begins as students start scaling up their sketches onto the large canvases or walls.
- Adding the 'pop': We teach them how to add 3D effects, shadows, and highlights to make their artwork truly stand out.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional graffiti artists are experienced in working with school groups and provide clear safety instructions before any spray can is touched. We use low-odour, professional-grade paints and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor or indoor spaces specifically chosen for school safety.
How long does a typical workshop session last?
A standard school workshop in Dusseldorf typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to street art history, sketching designs, practicing nozzle control, and completing a final masterpiece. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, we can easily adapt the duration to fit into a double lesson or a full project day.
What is the minimum and maximum group size?
We are incredibly flexible! Whether you have a small art club of 15 students or an entire year group of 100+, we have the staff and equipment to handle it. For larger groups, we bring in multiple professional artists to ensure every student gets hands-on guidance. We often split big groups into smaller 'crews' to foster teamwork and ensure everyone stays engaged throughout the session.
Do students need to have previous art experience?
No prior artistic skill is required at all! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and empowering. We teach the basics from scratch, starting with simple lines and shapes. You’ll be amazed at how students who claim they 'can't draw' end up creating incredible pieces once they learn the proper techniques. It’s all about confidence, expression, and having a great time together.
Where in Dusseldorf do the workshops take place?
We can bring the workshop to you! If your school in Dusseldorf has a suitable outdoor space (like a playground or a sheltered bike shed), we can set up our mobile boards there. Alternatively, we have access to dedicated street art locations around the city where students can experience the authentic 'legal wall' atmosphere. We'll work with you to find the most convenient spot.
How does the payment process work for schools?
We've made the process stress-free for teachers. There is no upfront payment required when you book. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and the students are happy. We accept bank transfers and provide full VAT invoices for school accounting departments. This ensures you can book with total confidence and zero financial risk to the school budget.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Dusseldorf weather can be unpredictable, but we always have a plan B! If we are working outdoors and it rains, we try to move to a sheltered area or reschedule the session. Many of our setups use mobile canvases that can be moved under cover. We also have access to indoor locations where we can work safely with proper ventilation and protective floor coverings.
