How it works
- Introduction & History: We kick things off with a high-energy intro into the world of street art, explaining how graffiti evolved from New York subways to world-class galleries.
- Safety First: Everyone gets geared up! We distribute masks, gloves, and suits while explaining the 'rules of the yard' to keep the session safe and clean.
- The Tag Creator: Students use our digital Tag Creator or paper sketches to brainstorm their names or "crew" logos before picking up a can.
- Can Control 101: Our pro artists demonstrate 'can control'âteaching students how distance, speed, and finger pressure change the lines on the wall.
- Sketching the Outline: Students start their piece by 'ghosting' their design onto the canvas or board, mapping out the scale of their artwork.
- Filling & Fading: This is where the magic happens. We teach the class how to fill in their letters and create cool colour gradients and 'fades' like a pro.
- The Power Line: Students add sharp outlines and '3D shadows' to make their graffiti pop off the surface.
- Final Details: We add highlights, 'shines', and background patterns to give the artwork that professional finish.
- Group Photo & Clean Up: We finish with a celebratory group photo with the masterpieces before packing up everything, leaving the site as clean as we found it.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and overall suits to keep everyone clean and safe. Our professional artists are experienced in managing school groups and ensure that all spray cans are used correctly in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Plus, our paint is professional-grade but handled with strict supervision to make sure the experience is nothing but fun and safe for the students.
What is the minimum age for participants?
We usually recommend our workshops for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the motor skills to handle the spray cans effectively and can really engage with the creative techniques we teach. However, we can adapt the session for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or simplified stencil techniques if needed. Itâs all about making art accessible to everyone in the class, regardless of their prior experience.
Do students need any prior drawing or painting skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basicsâhow to hold a can, how to control pressure, and how to create simple lines. Our artists guide each student step-by-step, ensuring that by the end of the session, even those who thought they weren't 'artistic' will have created something they can be proud of. Itâs more about expression and fun than being a master artist.
Where in Echternach do the workshops take place?
We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop directly on your school grounds in Echternach if you have a suitable outdoor space. Alternatively, we can help arrange a session at a local 'legal wall' or a creative space nearby. As long as we have a bit of room to move and some fresh air, we can bring the entire graffiti studio to you, making logistics easy for teachers.
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, some practice exercises, and the creation of the final masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-up sessions for larger year groups. Weâre here to make the schedule work for your education goals.
What materials do we need to provide?
We provide everything! Your booking includes all the professional spray paint in a huge range of colours, high-quality caps (nozzles), protective gear for every student, and the surfaces to paint onâwhether thatâs individual canvases for students to take home or a large communal wooden board for the school. You just need to show up in old clothes and bring your enthusiasm; we take care of the rest of the mess!
Does this encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?
No way! Our workshops focus on graffiti as a legitimate and respected art form. We spend time at the start of the session discussing the difference between illegal tagging and professional street art. We teach students about 'legal walls' and how to channel their creativity constructively. Itâs actually a great way to reduce local vandalism by giving kids a proper, respected outlet for their urban art interests.
How do we book and when do we pay?
Booking is simple and risk-free. You can reach out via our website to check availability for your preferred dates. We don't require any upfront paymentâyou only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. If the weather looks terrible, we have backup artists and flexible rescheduling options to ensure your school trip or activity day goes off without a hitch. Just let us know your group size and weâll send a quote!
