Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! We prioritise safety above all else. 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 also use low-odour, professional-grade paints specifically chosen for educational environments in Las Palmas. Parents and teachers can rest easy knowing the kids are in expert hands.
On what surfaces do the students actually paint?
Our workshops are highly versatile! While we often work on large plastic-wrapped surfaces or temporary wooden walls to create a 'mural' feel, students can also create individual canvases to take home. In Las Palmas, we can even arrange for workshops on permanent school walls if the school provides permission and a suitable surface. We bring all the materials required, so you don't need to worry about the 'canvas'.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Usually, our school workshops in Gran Canaria last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, a drawing/sketching phase, and plenty of time for the actual spray painting. We can easily adapt the schedule to fit your specific school timetable or break times. If you have a larger group and need a full-day rotation, we can organise that too!
What is the ideal age for students to participate?
We recommend our workshops for students aged 10 and up (primary year 6 and secondary school). At this age, they have the physical strength to control the spray caps and the focus to follow the creative process. It is a fantastic way for teenagers to express themselves in a constructive, artistic way. For younger groups, we can sometimes offer adapted sessions using paint markers or stencils instead of traditional spray cans.
Do the students or teachers need prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist mentors guide the students through every step, from basic 'can control' and lines to more advanced shading and highlights. Even students who claim they 'can't draw' are often amazed at the professional-looking results they achieve by the end of the session. It's all about building confidence and having a blast with colour!
How does the payment process work for schools?
We are very flexible! We don't require any upfront payment or deposits to secure your date in Las Palmas. We believe in our service so much that we operate on a 'satisfaction first' basis. You can settle the invoice after the workshop has been successfully completed. This makes the administrative process much easier for schools and educational departments who have specific payment protocols.
What do we need to prepare before you arrive?
We recommend students wear old clothes and shoes, just in case a bit of 'creative dust' finds its way past our protective suits. We provide the full 'breaking bad' look with overalls and masks, but it's always better to be safe. We also suggest an outdoor or well-ventilated space—if your school doesn't have one, we can help find a suitable local spot in Las Palmas.
