How it works
- Introduction and history: We kick things off with a brief, high-energy talk about the origins of graffiti and how it evolved into modern street art.
- Safety briefing: Students get kitted out in their protective gear while we explain the "rules of the road" for using spray cans safely and responsibly.
- Mastering the nozzle: Our pros demonstrate "can control"—showing how different distances and pressures create different lines and effects.
- Sketching the vision: Before hitting the wall, students brainstorm and sketch their ideas, learning how to scale up a small drawing to a large mural.
- Filling and fading: This is where the colour happens! We teach the kids how to create smooth fills and those iconic graffiti gradients and fades.
- The power of the outline: Students learn the secret to making art "pop" by adding sharp outlines and highlights to their work.
- Collaborative mural: The group works together on a large-scale project, learning about teamwork and how individual pieces fit into a bigger picture.
- Final touches and photos: We add those professional "flare" bits at the end, followed by a photo session so everyone has a memory of their masterpiece.
- Clean up and debrief: We pack up everything, leaving the site spotless, and have a quick chat about what we learned and the symbols created.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?
Safety is our absolute priority. We provide all students with high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks. We only use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are experienced in managing school groups and ensure that every student follows strict safety protocols while still having a blast and expressing their creativity safely.
Do the students need any prior artistic experience?
Absolutely! We believe art is for everyone. Whether a student is a natural-born illustrator or has never held a spray can before, our artists provide step-by-step guidance. We focus on the process and the fun of creation rather than technical perfection, ensuring every student walks away feeling proud of what they have achieved together.
Can the workshop take place on our school premises?
We are totally flexible! We can bring the workshop to your school grounds in La Serena, or we can arrange a session at one of our inspiring local street art spots. If we come to your school, we take care of all the floor and wall protection to ensure we leave the site exactly as we found it.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Standard school workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time. We can also adapt the timing to fit into a double-period or a full creative arts day depending on your curriculum needs.
What materials are included in the school package?
We provide everything required for a successful day of street art. This includes a wide variety of spray paint colours, caps (nozzles), protective clothing, and the surfaces to paint on—whether that’s a large shared mural or individual canvases. You just need to make sure the students wear old clothes and bring their enthusiasm!
What is the maximum group size for a school event?
We can handle everything from small art clubs of 10 students to entire year groups of 100 or more. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists from our backup pool to ensure a high teacher-to-student ratio. This ensures everyone gets personal attention and remains supervised throughout the creative process.
How do we handle the payment for the school booking?
No upfront payment is required when you book your workshop with us. We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay after the workshop has been completed. This makes the administration side much easier for schools and provides peace of mind that you're getting exactly what you signed up for.
