Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for every workshop in Košice. we provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep clothes clean. Our professional aerosol paints are chosen for being as student-friendly as possible, and our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and supervised at all times.
Do we need to travel to a specific location in Košice?
We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at various authorised street art locations around Košice, or we can bring the experience directly to your school grounds. If we come to you, we use large mobile plastic walls or individual canvases to ensure your school walls stay exactly as they are. This 'mobile studio' setup allows students to experience the thrill of street art in a familiar, controlled environment.
Can you accommodate different age groups within the school?
Yes, we cater to all age groups! For younger primary school students, we focus more on simple shapes, letter formation, and 'colouring in' with spray cans. For secondary school and gymnasium students, we dive deeper into technical skills like shading, 3D effects, and the history of the subculture. We adapt our teaching style and the complexity of the project to match the maturity and motor skills of your specific group.
Do the students need prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our Košice artists are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into easy-to-follow steps. We guide students from their very first shaky line to a finished piece of art they can be proud of. It’s all about the process, boosting confidence, and showing the students that everyone has a creative side waiting to be unleashed.
How do you handle large groups of students?
We offer two main options. The most popular choice for schools is a collaborative mural where students work together on a large-scale project—this is fantastic for team building. Alternatively, students can work on individual canvases or boards that they can keep. For large groups, we often rotate students through different 'stations' so everyone gets plenty of hands-on time with the spray cans while others work on sketches or stencil designs.
What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?
Graffiti is an incredible tool for modern education. Beyond the art itself, it teaches students about planning, spatial awareness, and fine motor skills. Socially, it’s a powerful way to discuss the difference between vandalism and street art, promoting respect for public property. It also encourages collaboration, boosts self-esteem for non-traditional learners, and provides a healthy, creative outlet for self-expression that feels 'cool' and relevant to their lives.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
The duration is usually between 1.5 and 3 hours, but we can easily tailor this to fit your school timetable. We can compress the session into a double-period intensive or stretch it out into a full-day creative arts event. Just let us know your schedule constraints when you get in touch, and we will build a programme that fits perfectly into your school day without causing any logistical headaches.
