How it works
- Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick history of street art and a vital safety demo. Every student gets kitted out in protective gear. 🛡️

- Colour theory: We dive into blending and fading, showing the kids how to make their colours pop and their gradients smooth. ✨

- The main creation: This is where the magic happens! The group works together on a large-scale mural or individual pieces under professional guidance.
- Adding the details: We show them how to use caps and fine lines to add those professional finishing touches and highlights.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained in workshop safety management, ensuring that everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We also use low-odour, high-quality paints where possible and ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated area or outdoors to keep the environment safe for everyone involved.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Helsingborg is known for its wind, but we've got you covered! If the weather is too poor for an outdoor session, we can often arrange an indoor setup using special water-based spray paints and floor protection, or we can reschedule the workshop to a better day. We always have backup artists and flexible planning to ensure your school event goes ahead without a hitch.
Where in Helsingborg do the workshops take place?
We can bring the workshop directly to your school grounds if you have a suitable wall or space for our mobile boards. Alternatively, we can host the event at various creative hotspots around Helsingborg, from the harbour areas to designated legal walls. We handle the logistics and setup, so you just need to bring the students and their creative energy!
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our school workshops usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives students enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their control, and complete a final collaborative piece or individual canvas. We can also adapt the duration to fit into a standard school double-period or a full-day creative arts program depending on your curriculum needs.
What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?
Graffiti is a fantastic tool for team building and boosting self-esteem. It encourages students to express themselves in a non-traditional way and helps them understand the difference between street art and vandalism. It’s also a great way to liven up social studies or art history classes, providing a hands-on look at a global cultural phenomenon right here in Scania.
Do we need to pay in advance for the school session?
We’ve made the booking process as easy as possible for schools. You don't need to pay anything upfront! After the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience, we’ll handle the billing. This allows for easy administrative processing within the Swedish school system. Just reach out for a quote, and we'll take care of the rest.
