How it works
- Introduction & History: We start with a high-energy talk about the roots of street art and its evolution from New York subways to the galleries of Buenos Aires.
- Safety Briefing: Students get kitted out in professional protective gear while we explain the "golden rules" of safe spray painting.
- The Tag Creator: Using our digital tools or paper sketches, students design their own unique 'tag' or nickname, learning about typography and flow.
- Nozzle Techniques: Our pros demonstrate how to control the spray can, from making thin 'outlines' to filling in large areas with 'fat caps'.
- First Lines: Students hit the practice walls to get a feel for the pressure and distance needed to create clean marks.
- Collaborative Sketching: The group works together to outline a large-scale mural based on a theme (like 'School Values' or 'Environmental Awareness').
- The Masterpiece: This is where the magic happens! Students fill, fade, and highlight the mural under the guidance of our artists.
- Final Details: We add the finishing touches, like 'cut-backs' and highlights, to make the artwork really pop.
- Gallery Walk & Cleanup: We finish with a group photo in front of the art and a quick debrief before we handle all the recycling and packing up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists lead a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour paints where possible and ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated outdoor area. The students are supervised at all times to ensure a creative and hazard-free environment.
Can you host the workshop directly at our school?
Absolutely! We bring the entire studio to your school. All we need is an outdoor space (like a sports field or playground) and permission to set up our mobile plastic film walls. If your school has a wall you'd actually like us to paint permanently, we can arrange that too! This saves you the hassle and cost of transporting dozens of students across La Plata.
What is the minimum age for participation?
Generally, our school workshops are designed for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the motor skills to handle the spray cans effectively and can follow the safety instructions properly. For younger primary school groups, we can adapt the workshop using water-based markers or stencils to ensure everyone can participate safely and have a blast.
How long does a typical school session last?
The duration is flexible to fit your school timetable. Most educational sessions last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the history lesson, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. If you have a shorter double-period or want a full-day 'Art Week' takeover, we can customise the schedule to suit your specific needs.
What materials are included in the price?
We provide everything! This includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), and the 'canvas' (either mobile film walls or boards). We even bring sketches and inspiration sheets. The school doesn't need to provide any art supplies – just the excited students and a bit of open space to get creative.
Do we need to pay in advance?
One of the best things about our service is the flexibility. We don't require any upfront payment or deposit to secure your booking. You can pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. This makes it much easier for school administration and accounting departments to process the payment once they've seen the fantastic results and happy students.
How does this help with student team building?
The graffiti world is all about 'The Crew'. Our workshops are inherently collaborative. Students often work in small teams to plan a mural, negotiate colour schemes, and execute a large-scale piece. It’s a brilliant way to break down social barriers and encourage students who might not excel in traditional sports or academics to shine in a creative, team-based environment.
