Frequently asked questions
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 professional instructors give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, and we use low-odour, high-quality paints. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and supervised at all times to keep the creative process worry-free and fun for everyone involved.
How long does a typical school session last?
Most school workshops in Ioannina last between 2 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for the introductory talk, the design phase, and the hands-on spraying. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into your school’s specific timetable or double up sessions for larger year groups. Just let us know your scheduling requirements and we will make it work seamlessly!
Do we need to travel to a studio, or do you come to our school?
We are very flexible! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at a dedicated street art spot in Ioannina. Our mobile team brings all the necessary equipment, boards, and materials to your chosen location, making logistics a breeze for teachers.
What is the minimum age for students to participate?
Our school workshops are generally designed for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the motor skills to control the spray cans effectively. However, we can adapt the programme for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or simplified techniques. It’s a fantastic way to engage teenagers and pre-teens who might usually find traditional art classes a bit repetitive.
Do students need to have prior art skills to enjoy the workshop?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our instructors are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. We focus on the process, creativity, and teamwork rather than technical perfection. Every student will leave feeling proud of what they have created, regardless of their prior experience with a paintbrush or spray can.
What materials does the school need to provide?
We’ve got it covered! We provide everything: professional spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the surfaces to paint on (like large wooden panels or canvases). We even bring plastic sheeting to protect the ground. The school usually just needs to provides the space and the enthusiastic students—we take care of the messy bits!
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Ioannina's weather can be unpredictable, but we always have a plan B. If we are scheduled to be outdoors and it rains, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or a large indoor space like a gym or hall (using extra protection for the floors). If that's not possible, we can reschedule the event. Because we have backup artists available, we rarely have to cancel.
