Why choose a graffiti workshop for your school in Kranj? It’s more than just painting; it’s an educational journey that challenges students in a way books can't. Here is why it’s a total game-changer:

How it works
- Intro & Inspiration: We start with a brief history of street art and look at different styles to get the creative juices flowing.
- Safety First: Students are fitted with protective gear and briefed on how to use the equipment responsibly and safely.
- The Sketching Phase: Everyone grabs a marker and paper to plan their tag or design, guided by our professional artists.
- Can Control: Before hitting the main project, students practice basic techniques like 'fading', 'outlining', and 'dots' on a practice surface.
- Filling & Colouring: This is where the magic happens! The group begins applying their chosen colours to the canvas or wall.
- Adding Details: We teach the kids how to add highlights and shadows to make their artwork pop and look 3D.
- The Final Outline: The most satisfying part—sharpening up the edges to give the piece that professional street art finish.

- Cleanup: Our team packs everything up, leaving the site tidy and the students with a permanent sense of achievement.

Frequently asked questions
Is graffiti painting safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists lead the session with a comprehensive safety briefing, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the spray cans correctly. We almost always work outdoors or in very well-ventilated spaces to ensure there are no issues with fumes or air quality.
Do the students need to have prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding artists. Our instructors guide the students through every step, starting with basic lines and moving on to shading and 3D effects. Most students are amazed at what they can create in just a few hours. It’s all about building confidence and having a great time experimenting with a new medium.
What is the cost for a school workshop in Kranj?
The price usually ranges between €20 and €45 per student, but this can vary based on the total group size and the specific materials required for your project. We offer competitive rates for larger school groups in Kranj. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is happy. Contact us for a precise quote!
What happens if it rains on the day of our workshop?
While we love the sunshine of Gorenjska, we always have a plan B! If the weather looks bad, we can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or a well-ventilated indoor space. If that’s not possible, we are happy to reschedule for a better day. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your event goes ahead even if an instructor falls ill.
How long does a typical school graffiti session last?
A standard school session typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the introduction, a safety briefing, sketch design, and the actual painting process. We can adapt the timing to fit into your school’s schedule, whether you want a quick intensive session or a full-day creative retreat for the students.
Do we need to provide any materials ourselves?
We take care of everything! We provide the spray cans in a huge variety of colours, canvases or boards, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and all necessary drawing materials. The school only needs to provide the space (or meet us at a pre-arranged location) and enthusiastic students ready to get their hands a bit colourful! We even handle the cleanup afterwards.
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural or workshop?
Definitely! Graffiti is an excellent way to explore themes like urban history, teamwork, self-expression, or even environmental awareness. If your class is studying a specific topic or preparing for a school event, let us know. Our artists can tailor the design phase of the workshop to reflect these themes, making the experience both fun and educationally relevant.
