How it works
- Intro & inspiration: We start with a high-energy introduction to the world of street art, its history, and how it transformed from underground tags to global gallery art.
- Safety first: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear. We explain how to use the equipment safely and how to respect the environment while painting.
- The tag creator: Before picking up a can, students use our interactive tools and paper sketches to design their own 'tag' or nickname, learning about font styles and letter flow.
- Can control basics: Our pros demonstrate essential techniques—how to hold the can, different nozzle pressures, and how to create clean lines and fades.
- First layers: Students head to their canvas or wall to start with the 'fill-in', learning how to apply colour evenly without those pesky drips.
- Outlining & 3D: This is where the magic happens! We teach the kids how to make their letters 'pop' by adding outlines, shadows, and 3D effects.
- Details & highlights: The final touches involve adding highlights (the 'shine') and background elements like stars, bubbles, or splashes to finish the piece.
- The big reveal: We take a group photo with the finished works and have a mini-exhibition where students can explain their creative choices.
- Cleanup: We ensure the site is left spotless, discarding empty cans and materials responsibly, leaving only great memories and art behind.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all students with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always work in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our professional artists are experienced in managing large groups of young people, ensuring everyone follows the safety protocols while having the time of their lives.
Where in Ghent do the workshops take place?
We can host the workshop at your school premises in Ghent if you have a suitable outdoor space or a very well-ventilated hall. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at a legal graffiti zone or a local studio. We are flexible and will work with you to find the most convenient and inspiring location for your students.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our school workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the introductory talk, safety briefing, sketching, and the actual painting process. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your school’s specific timetable or broaden the project into a full-day 'art week' experience if you prefer.
What age groups are these workshops suitable for?
Graffitifun workshops are perfect for everyone from primary school pupils to university students. We tailor our teaching style and the complexity of the techniques to the age group. Whether it's a fun introductory session for 10-year-olds or a sophisticated mural project for teenagers, we ensure the content is engaging and age-appropriate.
Do we need to pay in advance?
Don't worry, no one needs to pay upfront! We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the event is successfully completed. This makes the administration much easier for schools and educational institutions. Once the workshop is finished and everyone is happy, we will process the invoice.
Are all materials included in the price?
Yes! We provide everything needed for a successful street art session. This includes various nozzle types (caps) for different effects, a wide range of spray paint colours, sketching materials, masks, gloves, and protective suits. Students just need to show up in old clothes and bring plenty of creative energy!
Can we create a large mural for the school wall?
Of course! We often work with schools to incorporate specific themes like sustainability, local Ghent history, or school values into the artwork. Students can work on individual boards to take home, or collaborate on a large-scale collective mural that can be displayed proudly on the school grounds as a lasting legacy.
