How it works
- Intro to street culture: We start with a high-energy talk about the history of graffiti and its evolution from the streets to global galleries.
- Sketching the vision: Students grab pencils and paper to brainstorm their designs, learning about 'lettering' and 'flow' before the paint comes out.
- Safety first: Everyone gets suited up in protective gear and learns the essential 'do's and don'ts' of using professional spray cans safely.
- Technical demo: Our pro artists show off the basics—cap control, linework, and how to create those iconic faded gradients.
- The first spray: Under close supervision, students take to the wall or canvas to practice their first lines and get a feel for the pressure.
- Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens! Classes learn how to add vibrant colours and 3D effects to their creations.
- Defining the outline: The final stage involves 'cutting in' with sharp outlines to make the artwork pop against the background.
- The big reveal: We take a group photo with the final masterpiece(s) and hold a mini-critique session to celebrate everyone's hard work.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-age children?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide all students with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to protect clothing. Our professional artists conduct a thorough safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, professional-grade paints and ensure our outdoor Gdansk locations have plenty of ventilation. Every session is fully supervised by experienced mentors who are used to managing school groups.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
We recommend a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours for school workshops in Gdansk. This timeframe provides the perfect balance: enough time for an engaging introduction to the history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time without the students losing focus. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, we can easily adapt the session length to fit your timetable.
Can the students create a permanent mural at our school?
Absolutely! We love it when schools want to create something lasting. We can arrange for the students to paint on a large communal canvas, high-quality wooden panels, or even a designated wall at your school premises in Gdansk. This allows the students to work together on a massive piece of art that can be proudly displayed in a hallway or playground as a permanent reminder of their creativity.
Will the workshop take place at the school or at a specific location?
We offer total flexibility for your school trip. We can host the workshop at one of our vibrant, legal graffiti spots in Gdansk, giving students an authentic street art experience. Alternatively, our mobile team can come directly to your school grounds with all the necessary equipment, boards, and protective coverings. Just let us know which option works best for your logistics and we will make it happen!
Do students need any prior art skills or experience?
Our workshops are designed to be inclusive for all skill levels. Graffiti is a fantastic equaliser—you don't need to be a 'traditional' artist to be great at it. Our instructors guide every student through the basic 'tagging' and 'filling' techniques step-by-step. Most students who claim they 'can’t draw' are usually the ones most surprised by the incredible professional-looking results they achieve by the end of the session!
What is the maximum group size for a school booking?
We can accommodate almost any group size, from small art classes to entire year groups. For larger school bookings in Gdansk, we bring in multiple professional artists and set up several painting stations to ensure every student gets hands-on time and personalised guidance. We maintain a high teacher-to-student ratio so that the atmosphere remains fun, productive, and safe for everyone involved.
